Meeting up with you guys at that first character stop was totally a highlight of the race for me.

Wait so did the wings make it to the finish or did you ditch them? Inquiring minds want to know.

Yay!! Way to go RoxyMama!!! Can't wait to read more about it!

Hey!! I'm all caught up!

I hope you had a fabulous weekend and it sounds like you did! Congrats on completing the half and I can't wait to read all about it!

As for your dining reservations what dates are they? We've got some of the same so want to see if we match up! Also agreed it's so stressful! We have 15nights on dining plan and it was a nightmare trying to schedule it all so far in advance, I know I shouldn't complain about so many nights but I get super stressed about reservations and there seemed to be really low availability this time round! Poor @RachelDoesDisney had to book all ours from my list because I was Paris when the window opened!

We are doing Halloween party on 10/31. Then yak n yeti on 11/1 cause exploring pandora. 11/2 we have BOG breakfast before park opens and mickeys BBQ at night. 11/3 we are doing fantasmic package with Minnie's Halloween dine. Then 11/4 we have bon voyage breakfast and ohana dinner (it's a non park-pool day-10k day for hubby). We may or may not drop ohana depending how food coma we are by the day before!


Thanks again to everyone for being so supportive. I'm so excited to share my recap which I'm working on.
I will sneak peak that this was me at around 11:45pm last night. Because I'm insane (and not sure next time I'll have the chance to close a park down since I'm a mama).

If you keep your Ohana reservation we will be there the same time! We have a 5.50pm reservation! Not that seeing us is a good enough reason to keep it... perhaps seeing us AND the awesome food there is though?? Haha

A HUGE congratulations Roxymama!!! I too am so excited to read your recap! I hope you had a fabulous time at Disneyland and you certainly rocked your first half marathon!!

 

[Anisum]

Congratulations on your first half!! You look like you had a great time!

I am alive and in one piece after my travel day home. So far other than being a bit tired from all the weird off-schedule wake up and bed times and the plane travel...I'm doing pretty well. My quads are a bit screamy when I sit for too long and get up but I seem to be ok when I'm moving about. My feet and knees are oddly 100% normal. I'm consuming a lot of coffee this morning (but that's fairly normal for a day back to work.)

Excited to put my recap out there, but I'm writing a lot of notes because I keep remembering things to include.

My O'hana is at 5:05pm! Maybe we will end up seeing each other there! I should start trying to add up how many dis-boarders I've now officially met out in the wild

So glad you are feeling good after the half!!

I think you deserve Starbucks or Dunkin' today! Post-Disney blues are real!

 

[michigandergirl]

Great finish line photo!!!

Do I deserve a nap at work too? If not, I'll keep caffienating.

Great finish line photo!!!

Thanks! I have tons more from my photopass for my recap. Some quite cringey, but many good.

Excited for your official recap - but congratulations!!! And amazing that you shut down the park - we did napa rose at 8:30pm and just couldn't drag myself
Over for the parade afterwards I was so tired!

I should mention the several hours spent sitting on my hotel bed after lunchtime before heading back into the park at 5:30pm doing nothing. Without those I would have been toast...well actually, I was toast...I still don't know how I managed being up so late on my feet! I guess where there's a will...

Congrats to you too!!!

My finish line photos are absolutely horrifying. The rest turned out pretty well. Congrats on a great race!
