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!

Pigeon Forge Snow is the perfect family activity no matter the time of year: real snow, comfy temps, and endless winter fun even in the middle of summer. From tubing and snow forts to sweet treats at the candy bar, this is one spot my kid never wants to leave.

Plus, it’s just minutes from Dollywood, the Titanic Museum, and Dolly’s Stampede, so it fits right into any Smoky Mountain trip.

❄️ Save this for your holiday trip to the Smokies, and comment the word Snow and I will send you my exclusive discount code right to your inbox!

So many people I know follow and like posts and st So many people I know follow and like posts and stories from content creators, but when it’s people they know in real life….forget about it. All of the sudden, we just don’t need or deserve the support. We just get lurkers. 💔 

Women, I encourage you in 2026 to find a table where women champion other women. And I encourage all the ladies here to be a girl’s girl. There is room for everyone, and we ALL need a little support, even those that look like they have it all together. 

Let’s commit to helping each other on AND offline. A simple smile, an “I love your dress” or “your kid did great in the school play” or “hang in there, you got this!” Goes a long way. 

I will never understand people going out of their way to intentionally bypass a person online or in real life. People matter. It’s a tough time of year for a lot of people, so let’s all act like the friends we claim to be and be there for each other however we can. ❤️

This one is great for busy folks who want to make a “special” drink without too much fuss. 🎄 

It’s literally just water frozen in the bottom of a glass with some rosemary taped in it. I waited a few hours the poured in some Prosecco and added in edible glitter (you can use multiple colors!) pretty and delicious, and keeps your drink cold! Cheers! 🥂 ❄️
