🎨✨ Happy International Animation Day!

And I feel like this is the perfect excuse to talk about the reimagined Animation Courtyard at Hollywood Studios, because I really love what they’ve done with this area.

There’s so much more personality here now, from the larger than life statues inspired by some of our favorite animated films to the character interactions that can happen throughout the day. You might find Disney characters doing yoga, playing around, or just hanging out and ready to have a conversation. And you really never know what kind of interaction you’re going to get, which is part of what makes it fun.

There are also animation drawing experiences featuring Olaf, plus Disney Junior entertainment for the little ones, so there’s something here for a pretty wide range of ages.

And this is one of the reasons I love having clients slow down and explore areas like this instead of feeling like they have to go from attraction to attraction all day.

Because sometimes the thing your family talks about years later isn’t the ride you waited an hour for. It’s the completely unexpected character interaction, the funny moment you caught on video, or the little experience you almost skipped because you were rushing to the next thing.

You don’t have to fill every minute of a Disney day with attractions for it to be a great day. Sometimes you just need to leave a little room for the magic to happen.

I worked so hard and for so long to obtain a solid proof of time, I was beyond nervous to find out what corral I was assigned for the W**e & Dine 10k and half marathon!

I couldn’t have done it without the best husband and training partner Darth Mouse! He is my rock, my cheerleader, my personal pacer, and has always believed in me, even when I doubted myself. We did it! Now on to Marathon Weekend and D***y number 3! 💚💎💜

Happy to those that celebrate! Who else is still recovering from the post-race party last night? 🙋🏼‍♀️

Now that W**e & Dine is over, it’s time to buckle down and lean hard into D***y Challenge training for the next few months. Marathon Weekend will be here before we know it, and I’ll be halfway through my quest for a Perfect Season!

✨ If the Disney that makes you happiest is the nostalgic kind, I really think Disneyland deserves a spot on your 2027 travel list.

There’s something so special about walking through the original Disney park and experiencing attractions that have been part of Disney history for generations. Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride, Peter Pan’s Flight, the Mad Tea Party, it’s a small world, and so many of those classic attractions that just feel like Disney.

And if you’re a Walt Disney World regular who has never been to Disneyland, I really think you need to experience it at least once. But one of the biggest things I tell my clients is that Disneyland shouldn’t be treated like a smaller version of Walt Disney World. The hotels, transportation, park hopping, dining, and even the way you plan your park days are all different.

That’s one of my favorite parts of helping WDW regulars plan their first Disneyland trip. I get to take everything you already know and love about Disney and help you experience it in a completely different way.

So if you’ve been thinking about Disneyland but keep putting it off, maybe 2027 is the year you finally experience the original. 🏰✨

And if you’re a Disney history nerd like me, I already know there are a few attractions we’re putting at the top of that list.

Story Time.

I’ve been “off” since yesterday. I felt it in my bones that something was just not right. But I pushed through and almost fell asleep at dinner. I’ve been sick since 1am.

My costume malfunctioned last night and had to be sewn back together at 10pm.

Went to get on a 2:30am bus and it was pouring rain. I have trauma from running at Disney with wet surfaces 🤣

I pulled away from the pace group at mile 5 because I knew I had to do this my way.

I didn’t get the time I wanted, but I did what I knew I could and left it all out on the pavement. I don’t think I’ve ever sprinted so fast for a finish line in my life.

I PRed by 33 seconds. 33 is a very significant number in my life and that’s how it was supposed to play out today. I know what I have to do for Marathon Weekend and the rest of this Perfect Season and it will be great! Now it’s time to shower, eat Mickey waffles, and nap before a long night at Epcot for the Post Race Party!

Congrats to all the runners today! I hope your race was everything you dreamed it would be! On to January!
