Quote extravaganza coming up
I signed up for Goofy because I am crazy! I really wanted to do Dopey, but couldn't justify the extra $ at the moment. I'm planning it for 2019 if we can get down to Disney though! A whole year to save up
I say this now, but we'll see how I feel about the marathon after I've actually run one...
Hey, at least your first marathon will be in Disney! Good decision.
Oh man, that is awful! I am so sorry that this race wasn't good for your friend. I just don't understand why people can't be nice and civilized, but maybe I expect too much.
Neither do I. I feel like...I am SO happy to be at Disney races that it's hard for me to be anything BUT happy. There have been times where I wasn't (because of lack of entertainment or feeling sore/tired) but I'd sort of realize that and snap out of my funk. And not try to mess things up for others!!
I think I will do this next time - I loved the film, but the distortion was pretty obvious from the side, which made it a little less awesome.
It was significantly better. This was the 3rd or 4th time on that ride for me and the first time in the center, and it made a big difference!
Yes!! Love F&G - can't wait to see some for myself
It's so pretty!!!
Good one! I may have to steal that idea - I'm planning on taking my medal back for some good photos since we had to leave right after the half and our lunch!
Steal away!
That sounds amazing - I keep saying I'm going to get ice cream there, but then get distracted by the pastries. But apple cinnamon ice cream sounds like just my kind of thing.
It's so good! They also have the macaroon ice cream sandwiches that are pretty awesome!
Yum! What size did you get? I'm always curious to know if a personal or small pizza would be splittable here - the prices seem high, but if my husband and I could split something (or split something with an appetizer), it might be a little more reasonable. It's on my list anyway though
The personal size. I was not sharing!
Your medal phtoos are always so amazing!!!
Thanks!!
Sorry about your friend not having a great race. I have to say I am intrigued that you ate pizza the night before a half? I guess I am pretty new to running...but for me I have to avoid cheese the night before lol...but I'm sure the half is no biggie for you so you can eat anything lol
) Can't wait to hear about it.
Yeah, that definitely does not work for other people! I think VN is okay for me because they don't use a TON of cheese on their pizzas and the crust is thinner. The reason I initially picked it is because I'd eaten there before and enjoyed it/not gotten sick after, and it's just become my pre-race dinner over the years.
That's something you will figure out as you run more and get into longer runs, what kind of food the night before works for you and what doesn't. It's part of training!
Oh man a sigh literally just left my body in reaction to that medal shot with the belle/beast topiary behind it. I love that!!
There was a line of people waiting for a photo-op with that topiary, not sure how I managed to sneak a picture with no one in it!
So sorry K didn't enjoy her 10K. It's amazing what a difference common courtesy and the golden rule can make (or break if people don't follow them!).
I completely agree! I didn't experience it much this weekend, but I do think some people quite literally think they are princesses are are entitled to some things during Princess weekend...
Noting your tip at Karamelle Kuche. That's a place I've never tried-- but I love desserts, so I really should!
Yes! I hear the cupcakes aren't that good there, but that cookie M got was good!
Belle, your medal pics are a-m-A-z-I-n-g!! Love the InB skirt and your matching skills are on point! So not only do I really need a do over but I missed my reservations at VN! Waaaah! Caprese always, carciofi and tiramisu to go! Yum!!
I have many names!
And thank you for appreciating my matching skills!
Seriously, I know the need for a do-over (since this was my do-over after missing 2016's race weekend).
You need one!
There really is such a difference in race experience from the back corrals and the front corrals. Sorry K got caught in the middle of that!
Yeah, I wasn't going to say it, buuuut...I do think that's a big part of why her 10K was different from mine. She also said that they cut the line for Princess Minnie by the time she got there and was bummed about that.
Glad you had a great race and were able to get some great photos with the two people that mattered to you!
Me too!
Your pizza looks great! We always do our Italian 2 days before!
VN is always a must-do...so good!!
I am bummed that your friend did not have a good race experience!
Me too! Thankfully we did have a great time the rest of the trip!
I love your medal photos. I really like the lighting and colors of the flower one. I would never think to take a photo of the medal with a topiary in the background. That's really cool, especially matching Belle and Beast to the race weekend theme.
It was meant to be - glad I decided to go to France for ice cream because otherwise I may not have seen that topiary!
There is a little hole in the wall ice cream place in upstate New York that has a maple walnut (maple pecan?) ice cream. It is AMAZING.
That sounds so awesome! I just had some oreo cake batter custard last night, but maple...
I LOVE Via Napoli also! It's hard (impossible, really) to find great pizza where I live, so I try to make a Via Napoli ADR every WDW trip I take. I also try to go to Naples every
Disneyland trip.
VN is my favorite pizza on earth. It's the best!
I'm a huge Illuminations fan, but I hear you on leaving before the show. You've been going going going on this trip and your Fitbit stats reflect that!
Yeah, it was time for sleep, for sure!!
Thanks! Glad you got some awesome deals! I am boring, I just got a couple of hats (because...I already have pretty much everything else
