🚨 3 MISTAKES I MADE AT MY FIRST RUN DISNEY RACE 🚨 3 MISTAKES I MADE AT MY FIRST RUN DISNEY RACE 🚨⠀⠀🛑 Learn from my mistakes, 3 things you should NOT do if you’re running Disney races this year (trust me):⠀⠀1️⃣ Passing Go and Heading STRAIGHT to the parks: I realllllyyyyy wanted medal pictures.  In my running outfit.  So, instead of taking the buses straight from the finish line back to the hotel……we went to the Magic Kingdom.  Took photos.  Went to lunch.  And felt…..terrible by about 1 pm.  So take it from me, finish the race.  Go to the hotel.  Shower. Take a nap.  THEN go to the parks. ⠀2️⃣ Breakfast: ok, mistake number 2.  WHAT WE ATE.  We booked a very cute, very on theme lunch.  It was also very rich and creamy food.  And…..was NOT IT after a race.  Some of us may have gotten sick.  It might have been the food.  Or the lack of sleep.  But, breakfast food (waffles / eggs) would have been a MUCH better choice.  Now bonus points if you can guess where we ate.  Love it, but….not for the first meal after the race.⠀3️⃣ Park Tickets: I spent WAY too much.  I didn’t buy my park tickets in advance and paid full price.  On a race weekend, you’ll probably want tickets for race day and the day after if not two days after.  So….buy them NOW.  While you can get a deal. ⠀⠀🎟️ Which leads to……when I say buy those park tickets now, I mean it. Big News! Undercover Tourist is offering their best ticket deal at BOTH Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort…for a VERY limited time, get Adult Theme Park Tickets at Child Prices.  So whichever race you are running (or races in my case)……snag tickets NOW.  I’m grabbing mine for Wine and Dine and Princess weekend……..⠀🎟️ want a link to the deal? Comment TICKETS PLEASE and I’ll send it your way! ⠀👟 Are you running a Disney Race this year? Which one? ⠀⠀🥇 And if you’re an experienced Run Disney person….what tips do YOU have for first timers?⠀⠀@themeparkfrog @disneyland #FrogHopDLR #rundisney

Two good witches and one black cat…….kick off Two good witches and one black cat…….kick off another year of family halloween costumes.The thing is, I tried to talk Lydia out of these costumes.  It was a cooler day on Saturday and I kept telling her we could just wear jeans and the hats.  Until, I realized…….we may not have that many Halloween seasons left of cute family costumes.  So pink witches we were…..for the kickoff of Legoland’s Brick or Treat. We love Brick or Treat (this is our 3rd year doing it). It’s got some new activities this year, and I L-O-V-E that it’s included in your regular @legolandcalifornia ticket (bonus it ALSO will be included in Kids Free October here in SD).Our favs this year:- the wacky witch trail near the water park entrance- the zombie cheerleaders- halloween themed apple fries- the monster security checkpoint- Jam Out with the Rockers (this meet and greet is HYSTERICAL, scroll for the footage)Brick or Treat takes place on Saturdays in September and then Saturdays and SOME Sundays in October (dates are on the Legoland website).Welp, this makes it official.  Summer has come to an end. Bring on the Halloween fun!#sponsored #LEGOLANDcalifornia
✨ Recent Microjoys: the….it’s starting to fe ✨ Recent Microjoys: the….it’s starting to feel like Fall edition ✨- running is a lot nicer when it’s 70 degrees- pumpkins have officially made their appearance at Trader Joe’s- Ube Lattes : a seriously stellar local find- planning makes my heart happy (once a lesson planning teacher, always a lesson planning teacher )- made it to Legoland for Brick or Treat (I’ll share more about this tomorrow) but this photo needed it’s moment - baked potatoes for dinner - Disneyland plans loading….lots of them (it’s been awhile): Oogie Boogie Bash, a friend date, and a couple fun trips…….all within the next week or two"Microjoys are a practice of uncovering joy and finding hope at any moment. They are accessible to everyone, despite all else. When we hone the ability to look for them, they are always available. Microjoys are the hidden wisdom, long-ago memories, subtle treasures, and ordinary delights that surround us” - Cyndie Spiegel (highly recommend her book about microjoys)#mondaymicrojoys (feel free to use the hashtag to share what’s making YOU smile or giving you a little glimmer of happiness)
