KNEW IT!!! That $299 deal from Acclaim is a steal ...

KNEW IT!!! That $299 deal from Acclaim is a steal ...

It totally is and it included active fees. I'm surprised he still has bibs left on that one.

 

[Keels]

Right? I feel like TAs really got burned this year and next by the changes that RunDisney made for WDW races. Seeing how many TAs have bibs left for the WDW weekends - now I TOTALLY understand why Get Sports made the business decision to opt out of being a race weekend provider for WDW races.

But anyway - YAY! ANOTHER DOPE!!!

Good morning, runDisney all-stars! 8 weeks until the marathon! 56 days. Less than two months. It's going fast...

This week for Sundays are for Disney, I thought we could do something a little different. Let's talk politics...

JUST KIDDING. (*ducks tomato*)

Actually, what I'm thinking is we get to know each other a little better since we'll be spending 4-7 hours running next to each other. I'm thinking everyone shares three things about themselves, nothing deeply personal (unless you really want to), but maybe a little more than "I have blue eyes." And, just to make sure there's a Disney connection, make your third "fact" your favorite Disney song.

- I have no sense of smell.
- I write for a newspaper and have covered public safety (cops, firefighters, mayhem and destruction) for the better part of 10 years.
- My favorite Disney song is "Married Life," the instrumental at the beginning of Up. I heard it played in the Hub during our last trip and it always takes me back to Magic Kingdom when I play it. As for an actual lyrical song, anything from Aladdin or The Lion King, but I'll go with "I Just Can't Wait To Be King."

Ok, I'm pretty boring, but I'll bite...

1. I love to cross stitch. The more complicated the pattern the better.
2. I started my career making medical super glue, so if you've ever been glued with Dermabond instead of stitched up, I developed the manufacturing process for the glue. These days I'm in vaccine manufacturing as an aseptic dispensing and process validation scientist.
3. My favorite Disney song is "This is Halloween". I also have a playlist consisting entirely of Disney songs.

I'll play along...

1. I'm a scuba dive master and a decent underwater photographer
2. When we were competing, my Rottweiler was the #1 ranked Rottie in dog agility for several years
3. My favorite Disney song is What's This? from The Nightmare Before Christmas

 

[Ariel484]

1. I was a springboard diver in high school and college
2. Besides Disney, the two other things I spend my money on are purses (preferably Disney ones) and running clothes...by maybe some of you already know that
3. It's hard for me to pick a favorite song from a Disney movie, but my favorite park-area loop is the Innoventions Plaza Area Music

 

[rteetz]

1. I have an obsession with Christmas lights. This year I'm at over 15,000 lights. I'm no Osborne yet...
2. I have a shoe obsession as well. I have roughly 30-35 pairs of shoes.
3. Favorite Disney song... this is hard. I love the illuminations soundtrack. As for Disney movies the circle of life or under the sea.

1. I like to think I'm a Martha Stewart Starter Kit (minus the prison time). I LOVE to cook and entertain - my front door is always unlocked and I'm happiest when my house is crowded and noisy with friends/family/littles. I'm actually cooking for Book Club right now! Citrus salad, Beef Bourguignon, Potato Gratin and Profiteroles are on the menu!
2. I was on a Nickelodeon game show.
3. I think the three-song arc of "Endless Night", "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" and "He Lives In You" from 'Lion King: The Musical' is pretty much the most-perfect arc of any musical production. If that answer doesn't count, I'll go with "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" - but preferably not from the movie ...

Cool!! I was a sports journalist for over 10 years (print and online), and my husband is still in the business!

Which game show? (Please say Legends of the Hidden Temple!)

Yup! "Legends of the Hidden Temple"! I was a Red Jaguar and made it to the Temple Run.

OMG that is awesome!

Three things about me:

1) When I was younger, I was a black belt in Tae Kwon Do. I competed in the Junior Olympics for sparing but lost in the first round.

2) Running has given me my life back. Running and a combination of choices revolving around running has allowed me to lose 100 pounds. It has put me in position to better enjoy my child's life.

3) "Try Everything" from Zootopia at the moment. My daughter loves that song.

 

[MommaoffherRocker]

I'm pretty lame but here goes

1. DH and I elouped in Las Vegas 2 weeks before our actual wedding- coincidentally I am in LV as I write this

2. I was voted most likely to stay in our small town by my senior class. I am happy to say that did not come true.

3. My favorite Disney song is When We're Human from the Princess and the Frog.

Solid choice! The entire Princess and the Frog soundtrack is grossly underrated.

What a coincidence… me too!
