Holy smokes; I’m not even done with my Dopey Challenge trip report and it’s already time for Princess Weekend!
Not that I’m complaining, mind you – this is merely an observation. So my promised Dopey takeaways and traditional snack roundup posts are just going to have to wait. I’m headed back to Walt Disney World, baby! I think we could ALL use a little Fantasyland right about now, no?
And although I’ve been traveling to WDW for many, many moons now, this trip will feature several firsts. My first Fairytale Challenge, for starters. My first Epcot Festival of the Arts(!) too. Plus other firsts and seconds and thirds and millionths that will unfold in time.
As for the races themselves, I am cautiously optimistic. My knee and hip flexor, two recent problem areas, held up well during Dopey. 19.3 miles is much less of an ask than 48.6… but let’s not get cocky. My only wish is for a safe and happy couple of races, and the same for my friends. We can make sure we have a great time from there!
Be sure to connect with me on Instagram and Threads to follow along! And naturally upon my return a trip report will blossom on this very blog. Can’t wait? Check out my YouTube channel, where I’ve posted a video detailing my race costumes alongside other runDisney content.
Anyway, I am literally leaving for the airport in a matter of hours. Orlando, it’s been too long. (LOL, it’s been like a month.) Hope to see you there!
P.S. My Dopey plea about wearing a mask if you’re sick continues to apply. Not during the race, of course! Just crowded places like the expo, corrals, and parks. It’s the kind thing to do. 
Don’t forget, you can follow FRoA on Threads @fairestrunofall and on Instagram @fairestrunofall. If you have any questions or thoughts, leave a comment or email fairestrunofall@gmail.com. See ya real soon!
