Only 12 more days?!?!? Woohoo that is so exciting!! That sounds like an absolutely perfect cruise - relaxation, relaxation, relaxation. I actually like shorter cruises. I find that I'm kinda over the whole cruising thing after 4-5 days. Now, I've never done a DCL cruise, so maybe it's different with Disney, but I think a shorter cruise is really ideal. Can't wait to hear all about it!
Yeah, this one totally snuck up on us. I'm starting to panic just a bit because I have work stuff I need to finish before we go!
We haven't figured out what our cruising sweet spot is. I still feel like 4 nights may be a bit short, and I'd maybe like to try a 7-night itinerary at some point, but I'm not sure we'd go longer than that. I think the 5-nighter we have booked for later this year may be the perfect length...unfortunately Disney doesn't do many 5-night itineraries.
Hopefully you have a better time on the Castaway Cay 5K this time.
UGH, me too!!
Oh that cruise sounds great! And I have to say, the bonus of getting to go twice in a year probably makes up for the shorter itinerary
YES, I agree! And bonus - it's a Christmas-themed cruise, so it'll be even more awesome.
One of these days we'll do a cruise, but we have so many park trips in mind it will be a few years
I really think my husband would be happy axing the parks completely and sticking to DCL for the foreseeable future...
I'm not there yet!
12 Days until your cruise ... yay!
Woohoooo!!
A nice, lightly-planned cruise sounds perfect! Cruises are all about relaxing, and not having crazy plans in advance makes it easier to relax.
So true! That is the beauty of cruising.
It's so different from the parks.
OMG Castaway Cay 5K. I know the course is hot and sunny and not clearly marked and whatever, but ... I want one of those cute medallions! Although I would like to do it without the cruise ship ... I don't do cruises.
My disappointment with the course is that you really don't see much of the island! I think I was expecting a path along the beach, but it just goes through the bike path.
I 100% would not do it if it weren't for the free medallion.
Also, weird question ... does your Garmin work on Castaway Cay? I always kinda wondered. I'm guessing it probably does, but I never knew for sure.
Yes it does! Here's the map from when I did it in 2015...please note the temperature and humidity.
Also ... towel folding class may be the cutest thing ever. I did know that they had those, but now I want to take one. I wonder if they have one at WDW...
Yeah, we didn't do it last time because, of course, the only time they offered it was when our Mixology class was happening.
I'm excited to towel fold, but I'm not about to pass up Mixology.
Ye… so weird! It’s worked out well because my sister is flying over on the Thursday morning so she’ll get to be there when it opens and I don’t have to worry about getting her stuff too. I’m getting the Eurostar the day before, it goes direct to Disneyland from one of the stations close to my job so I regularly see people in their Disney get up heading towards the platform on the way to work and feel all kinds jealousy…
Daily toture.
Hahaha you sure??
Don't worry guys... I got this
I guess I cannot say for sure that I don't look like either of these guys when I work out!
BAH! I saw the price and ran away…
Yeah...it sucks.
Other alternative is to look for one on Facebook.
I’m trying to resist buying things ahead of my trip as I do like it when I find items over there and it kinda has a memory attached.. Also I know I will buy ALL THE THINGS when I get there.
So very true!! How can you not buy ALL OF THE THINGS when they're right there staring you in the face?!
I guess it must be tough cheering like that all day everyday.. I don’t blame him… poor guy
I'm sure some time off was...a-peel-ing to him.
OOOOH I like challenges with days… I totally suck at them but I like reading about other people doing them. I’ve tried the 30day squat challenge like 5 times and each time I just forget around day 5 or something and then the whole thing is ruining. I also have to wait until the first of the month to start because I like it when my numbers match with the date and so then I wait until the 1st of the next month but totally space out and remember on the 2nd and it’s just too late then.
So anyway… back to you.. what’s the challenge? Also devastated about national cupcake day… I think we need to rectify this situation. I promise I will also eat a cupcake on June 26th and we can exchange cupcake photos...
Mainly it's to wear INKnBURN for 100 days, and the person that came up with the idea has little themes for each day. So today is World Oceans Day...so I had on the Angel Stripes shirt (which looks like an angel fish) and my Water shorts. Stuff like that.
People are also trying not to repeat items - like wear something only once throughout the entire 100 days. I don't have enough INKnBURN to do that!
June 26th...cupcake o'clock. I'm excited!!
I have the same problem with by boyfriend, he's very anti-cruising, I've managed to get him on board with a Disneyworld trip in the future but not a cruise and I kinda feel like the cruise is more suited to couples than with friends/family?! Maybe that's not true it's just the impression I have.
That's sort of the feeling I had about cruising too - I still can't believe I got him to try it. I really, really emphasized the food...I think that helped sway him.
YAH!!!
Haha... that's a good a reason as any!
Seriously, if they took away the bling, there would be no more CC5K for me!!
OMG!!! This looks SO DELICIOUS!!!
IT ISSSSSS AHHHH!!!!!!
Just getting caught up after a long Dis break...Star Wars rebel challenge early registration was yesterday and I decided to jump on it - my first DL race!! So that motivated me to jump back on the Dis and see what my fellow run Dis-ers are up to! Your great reviews of DL races motivated me to go for it - so thanks! So much I've missed here...
Welcome back! We all need DIS breaks every once in awhile...yay for the Rebel Challenge! My BFF did that this year and she had a blast - she said the 10K course in particular was awesome and she waited in line to meet BB-8 for, like, 30 minutes during a race.
Happy belated anniversary! You guys are too cute.
Thank you!
That 10K you did after Tink looked miserable! Sleet in May?? This is why I live in Georgia.
It was awful! They had early registration for next year and part of that was getting an "I survived 2016" shirt...still waiting for mine!
The May the 4th mystery singlet...SO glad I took a chance and ordered it! I absolutely LOVE it and can't wait to wear it for the Rebel Challenge! I had no idea about the homage to R2D2 and BB8 on the back! Like it could have been any more awesome!
YAY!! I'm so glad DIS people jumped on that - totally excellent that some Star Wars fans got a Star Wars shirt from them.
Try not to worry about your pace too much (I know, I get hung up on it too) and just keep on being consistent with your training.
I'm trying! this is going to sound so whiney, but I have always been frustrated at how hard I have to work to get better at running vs. how easy it seems to be for some other people - like people who can just get off the couch and do a marathon. It's frustrating to me how much I lost with the forced break from running, even though it was the right thing to do, and how long it is taking to get back to it. Oh well!!
Oh the purses - I need to sell some of my DDB's because I just don't use them much but finding it so hard to let them go. I "only" have 6 DDB's but they are all special to me. As for Harveys, I just have one- the DL 60th poster wristlet you got (I got mine off of FB because I really wanted an HM poster and a Matterhorn poster) - love the pattern but the bag is just a bit too small for me. I tried ditching my wallet and just sticking cash and cards loose but they would spill out. Let me know how you use it because I really want to use mine more!
This is pretty much exactly where I am with my D&B bags. I am down to 7, and they are all ones that I think I would have a hard time letting go of (2 WDW 40th anniversary bags, 2 DL 55th anniversary bags, 1 black balloons bag, 1 Haunted Mansion bag and my 2013 Marathon Weekend Satchel). I thought I was ready to possibly sell the Haunted Mansion one but I just can't get myself to do it.
I do agree that the poster hipster is very small. I haven't actually used mine very much yet, but I think it'll be perfect for the cruise and for going to WDw/Disneyland - places where I don't take many cards with me. Like it'll fit my phone, cash, some cards and a chapstick. Mr. A and I went out to dinner on Saturday and I took a hipster with me (the Star Wars SHAG one) and it was really nice to have such a small bag. There's no way I could use it as a regular purse, though.
I bought a Harveys Minnie on Facebook a couple of weeks ago thinking that that would be good to use with it, but the Minnie almost seemed too big. I may try one of the Harveys billfolds in it and see how that works.
Ahhhh the
Disney cruise is just around the corner! You guys are going to have an amazing time! We have only been on one Disney cruise, the Dream last year, and are sailing again next spring break. We loved every minute - you have to do the Castaway Cay 5K (FREE Disney bling!). If you decide to run on the boat, I actually liked doing loops on deck 4 early in the morning watching the sunrise. Treadmill at sea, not so much. Enjoy it all - Palo is absolutely the best meal I have ever eaten in my life.
Yay!! Which itinerary are you sailing? I'm so excited for Palo...I need to start preparing my stomach!!
So have fun on your cruise - keep on running!
Thanks!!
But this was specifically for the 60th anniversary of Disneyland.
It has been MONTHS since that has happened - at least 6-8 months I would say! After going back to bed and waking up for good a little bit of the soreness was back, but still - this was very encouraging!

The wooooorst.
