It’s time for another trip report! Yay! As I have in the past, I’ll be saving our ADRs for a final food review post, but I’ve decided to sprinkle all the Food & Wine Festival stuff into the report itself. You can see all the entries in this report here. Okay, onward! I woke up much earlier than expected...

Yup, you read that right. I leave for Walt Disney World TOMORROW. Tomorrow morning! I think you all know how that makes me feel. I know it’s 100% trite to say it, but I can scarcely believe this day has finally arrived. I feel like we’ve been planning it for decades. Scores. EONS. But it’s time! It’s finally time!...

JENN: Happy post Halloween, everybody! We hope you all had a fantastic holiday, full of candy and tricked out gourds. So M, did you run last week? MOON: Affirmative. Getting “ready” for a 5K. No big deal, but I’ll be running with friends and that always makes me nervous/breathe funny. JENN: Awww. You always seem to run fine with me! You...

JENN: So, the big news of the week, runDisney-wise, was that there is a new half marathon at Disneyland themed to – wait for it – The Avengers. Your thoughts? MOON: I did laugh out loud when I got that email in my inbox. And no, I haven’t seen the movie. JENN: Me neither. I… don’t care. Like at all. I...

JENN: Last week we speculated that not running this week might be a thing. Did you? MOON: I did run, but very little. JENN: I did intervals. Slow, terrible intervals. MOON: I am actually in a music slump. JENN: Oh, that invariably sucks. MOON: If I’m not excited about my music then running more than 3 miles becomes dumb....

JENN: Sooooo… we’re back. MOON: So….. We’re back, yeah. JENN: It’s cold here. I want to go back to Disneyland. 🙁 MOON: I want to burrow in a volcano. JENN: That sounds delightful. You have always wanted to go to Hawaii. MOON: I hate adjusting to life after a trip. Especially when the temperature difference is 75 degrees....
