It seems unanimous that the extra money for the EP is well worth it but it seems I really need to study up on touring the parks and strategy. It's taken me several years of WDW trips to earn my expert level planning ears so it's very strange to be completely in the dark for a park visit. I've...

Thanks so much for your response. I actually didn't realise you could book through other means but I'll look into this now. If I use someone like booking.com though I obviously need to arrange tickets but am not sure the best option? Sorry am a Disneyworld expert but a Universal Novice. We...

Hi fellow Dis'ers. My husband and I are considering staying at a Universal Orlando resort 24 Dec-30 Dec 2020. We're considering either Cabana Bay or Royal Pacific but there's a big jump in price between the two. Apart from the added ammenities and the increased transport options the biggest...

I'm so glad to have had you along for the ride and HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I think I will do a training journal for Dopey 2021 but I don't know that it'll be nearly as exciting as this one LOL! My focus for 2020 is to be kinder to my body, take more time for myself and build those pesky muscles that...

SUNDAY 3RD NOVEMBER 2019 PART 2 - PATRIOTIC MICKEY HALF MARATHON & TWO COURSE CHALLENGE Eventually though I just had to finish and headed for the finish line. IMG_6452 by Jennie G, on Flickr 017aa1a9-0b4f-4abd-9278-b24da8b8d91d by Jennie G, on Flickr 6f6111fe-c294-459a-9e9a-3fcedd6421a0 by...

SUNDAY 3RD NOVEMBER 2019 PATRIOTIC MICKEY HALF MARATHON AND TWO COURSE CHALLENGE By this stage the 2:30am wake up calls are getting a bit old and a bit tedious but I'm up again at 2:30am with everything laid out and ready to go including my regular breakfast of a banana and oat bar to have in...

I'd love to know how you've added your trip reports and reports underway to your signature! I've been trying to figure it out and have today updated my trip ticker but I can't for the life of me figure out how to add my report links :(

SATURDAY 2ND NOVEMBER FROZEN 10KM RACE Another 2:30am start! Now my husband was supposed to run the 10km race with me but he stupidly didn't do any training prior to our trip and after a short sprint to the finish line in the 5km race the day before, he had pulled up with ITB tightness. Now...

FRIDAY 1 NOVEMBER 2019 JUNGLE BOOK 5KM RACE So we tried so hard to get an early night on Halloween night but the paper thin walls and people who seemed intent on shouting to each other across the courtyard at POP Century kept us awake well after 10pm. When our alarm went off at 2:30am we were...

SO LUCKY!! There's nothing worse than that panicked feeling. It's awful. Thank goodness your cousin found her purse. I love that someone else has experienced that little bit of Disney magic when it meant the most :)

WE'RE BACK AND WE DID GREAT!! WOW WOW WOW!! Our trip was amazing and you'll shortly see a full trip report pop up on the trip reports forum. I'm also going to be attempting a dining report. I won't bore you with the full trip report here and will just stick with the run weekend starting at the...

T-MINUS 6 DAYS AND COUNTING A FINAL POST BEFORE WE DEPART So as the title says this will be my final update before we jump on that big steel bird and fly out to Orlando on the 26th Oct. I'm so unbelievably excited! I have no idea how I'm going to sleep in these final few days. My boss and...

WEEKLY AND FINAL UPDATE BEFORE WINE & DINE 2019 14 OCT - 20 OCT As the title says, this'll be my final update before running the Wine & Dine races. We fly out for Orlando this coming Saturday 26 Oct and won't have a great deal of time or data once we land in Orlando to do updates. But I...

OMG @JAMIESMITH Get the tights!! I love love love mine. They were so comfortable and I carried so much in them without all those weird thigh bulges on your thighs from side/leg pockets! The material they're made from is such good quality. It absolutely wicked the sweat away from my skin and was...

WEEKLY UPDATE 30 SEP - 13 OCT Oops so I didn't do an update last week but as we get closer to our departure date things are getting more and more hectic. Only 13 days now till we fly out for Orlando. We've begun to pack and we're rushing around pickup up all those last minute things that one...

They're sheets that you can put in the wash to catch all the colour that runs out of dark clothing in the wash. It means that you can put a mixed load of light and dark colours in together and you won't turn all your light clothing pink or grey :)

Same here. Got the same email and got the same lame response. I'm considering raising a payment dispute with my credit card company to get a refund on the grounds of non fulfilment. At this stage all of the 'magic' has been sucked out of the event for me and I'd rather get my money back than the...

T MINUS 17 DAYS TO GO!! This is going to be a very text heavy update so apologies in advance for the total lack of anything interesting to look at. Gee life has been busy! I've been pushing really hard at work these past 2-3 weeks to reach a new growth target. Hitting the target means a tidy...

That's great advice and makes a lot of sense! I've just never run 2 halves so close together before so I wasn't really sure what to do. Talking to others I think I've figured out the following plan: Tue 1 Oct - 5km relaxed run Thu 3 Oct - 5km race pace/speed run Sun 6 Oct - 16km long run Tue...

WEEKLY UPDATE 16 SEP - 29 SEP I knew I wasn't going to make it through winter without at least one bout of the flu and my week was last week. Almost a year to the day my boss decided to be a hero and come into work sick as a dog and has infested almost our entire office with influenza which has...
