It's interesting. Most of the music from that show is from Disney films that I think are okay, but don't particularly love. So while I think the pyrotechnics for that show are spectacular, the show doesn't really do anything for me emotionally. But that might have changed after the marathon. I saw the show Monday night after the marathon and for all the obvious reasons "Go the Distance" from Hercules took on a very different meeting that night after what I had accomplished the day before.
During the marathon this year, just seeing Galaxy's Edge gave me a much needed boost (I needed quite a few of those after mile 20) and once we got inside Hollywood Studios, I told myself that I had done this before since it's very similar to the end of the Dark Side 10K and Half Marathons.
86. Seeing Spaceship Earth for the first time every visit. That's when I know I'm in Disney World. Why Spaceship Earth? Because. . . .
87. Seeing Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland. This gives me all the Disney feels. Disney is my happy place and this is the reminder that I'm there and can let go of my stresses for a little while.

88. Seeing this sign.
90. Running in the baseball stadium during the marathon
91. Walking around the entire World Showcase Lagoon after Illuminations with the music playing and seeing the pavilions lit up with the park emptying out. I hope they have good music after EPCOT Forever!
93. The lady—I believe her name was Peggy Sue—who, until her death, was at all the rD events with her sign that said “Hello, Complete Stranger, I’m Proud of You, Too!” She was usually near the end of the race.
94. Running past riderless rides listening to ride music as they operate during early morning races.
95. IASW Holiday all lit up to greet Disneyland’s early morning runners.
96. Strawberry Cream Cheese Cupcake at BOG.
97. Epcot’s World Showcase at night, lit by torchlight.
98. DATW with like minded strangers, soon to be friends!
