Disney’s Wine and Dine Weekend

November 9, 2012 | Disney, runDisney, running, Travel

 

It’s here! It’s here! runDisney Wine and Dine is upon us! I will be attending a meet up/tweet up this morning with Jeff Galloway and some other awesome people, then heading to the expo! I can’t wait to share all the excitement of race weekend with you. Bobby and I went for a 2 mile shake out run yesterday, since we haven’t run in well…a week…so we will see what happens at the race with no training + eating Disney food for a week! All I know is it will be a blast.

Want to track a runner in the race? Check out this link and follow the directions.

I am staying at the beautiful Boardwalk Inn, and we had gorgeous weather yesterday here in Disney World. Walking to EPCOT is so nice from this resort, especially during the amazing Food and Wine Festival. We hit up the festival this afternoon before taking a nice long nap. All I have to say is Boardwalk beds are super comfy.

Last night Bobby and I went out for a nice Dinner at Citricos at the Grand Floridian before the madness of Wine and Dine begins. It was fabulous as always and we really enjoyed ourselves. We will definitely be back again.

I can’t wait to run this race with nearly 14,000 of my closest friends, so stay tuned to hear more about how my weekend is going. You can follow me on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook on the right sidebar of my blog, just click on the icon. I am posting tons of photos! Also, search the hashtag #WineDineHalf to see race posts and #WineDineHalfMeetUp to follow the meet up this morning on Twitter! I will be sure to do a full recap of the meet up and of course the race, so stay tuned! I can’t wait to share the fun with you, who is ready to runDisney?!?

    Aw, that was my first half marathon, and just last year! (Was that when we first met, at the expo?) I’m sad I won’t be there this year, but I hope to get to a Disney race again someday.

    Sounds like you are having an amazing time!

    Wine and Dine isn’t on my bucket list, Florida is a little bit far away, but if I had the opportunity to run there then I probably would!

Self-care always felt like something I’d start “wh Self-care always felt like something I’d start “when life slows down.”
So… never. 👀

I wanted something simple, personalized, and actually doable, not a 47-step routine I’d abandon in two days. That’s why I started using Mochi Health for skincare + wellness support, and it’s been one small thing that makes me feel more put together (even when I’m not).

If you’ve been wanting to get your skin and wellness together without overthinking it, I shared more in the reel. Link in bio for $40 off your first month.

San Diego snaps. 📸 Did you know Disney makes it San Diego snaps. 📸 

Did you know Disney makes it SO easy to fly into San Diego for a @disneycruiseline vaca? 🚢 (ad)

Let’s break it down :
1.) Flew into the San Diego airport
2.) Took a Lyft to @grandhyattsandiego which is super close by
3.) Walked right downstairs for dinner @seaport_village 
4.) The next morning you walk downstairs to a special table in the lobby to check in with DCL, show your passport, be extra luggage tags etc.
5.) Leave your luggage at the door of your hotel room. They will collect it and put it on the bus for you. 
6.) Meet downstairs at your designated time and board the bus
7.) Super short 5 min ride to the port on the Disney bus
8.) They handle your luggage, you just get on the ship! 🚢 

It was so nice having everyone nearby and coordinated for us! I highly recommend arriving a day before your cruise anyway if you are flying, and Disney made it seamless. 
Note that right now, the Grand Hyatt is the only San Diego area hotel that has the service of the Disney bus transportation to the port. 

Know what’s even more seamless? Having an agent from @bestdayevervacay plan all of this for you at no additional cost! Click the link in my bio and you can get a free, no obligation quote and start planning your magical vacation!

We just set sail on the Disney Wonder for a magical 3 night west coast sailing! But the fun won’t stop when we disembark, we will be continuing the trip to Disneyland so don’t go anywhere! All the fun is happening right now in my stories! (And saved to a highlight if you miss some!)

A huge thanks to Disney and @bestdayevervacay for making this possible and sending us on this trip! ✨ 

Send to someone who “gets it!”

Behind every beach day, every poolside moment, eve Behind every beach day, every poolside moment, every bit of Disney magic, photoshoot, late night, and smiling photo, there are hours of work, rejection emails, a few missteps, and a lot of learning. 

Grateful for every single step of the journey, even the hard ones. ✨

#ad Turns out my patio didn’t need a full makeover #ad Turns out my patio didn’t need a full makeover… it just needed the right planters 🌿 

I walked into @loweshomeimprovement (garden center = instant mood boost) and found these allen + roth & planters that look designer but are actually budget-friendly. Exactly the kind of upgrade I love: big impact without the big price tag. 

Swipe to see the before → after because WOW. New planters + fresh plants completely brought this space back to life. I love how versatile they are too, perfect for patios, porches, or even indoors. If your outdoor space is looking a little… tired (same 😅), this is your sign to refresh it for spring. 

Grab them in-store at Lowe’s or through the link in my bio 🔗
