    The Definitive Guide to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party

    ByLisa November 9, 2018November 9, 2018

    Out with Halloween and in with Christmas!! When it comes to celebrating the holidays, Disney likes to get the party started early – and while I understand that many people think that celebrating Christmas in early November (or Halloween in mid-August, for that matter) is too much too soon, I also love the fact that…

In honor of today’s costumes & gear episode, I thi In honor of today’s costumes & gear episode, I think it’s time I came clean and told you I’ve worn the same dress in like 8 different colors to a LOT of races. 

It comes with shorts that have pockets and built in support. And when they don’t have the color I need I buy the white one and dye it with @ritdye. 🌈 👗 

If ever an affiliate link was earned. 😂 thecastlerun.com/dress and my whole Amazon gear list is at thecastlerun.com/gear

Full episode is at thecastlerun.com/costumesandgear and I’ll share it in stories and bio to make life easier.
The first mile of runDisney’s Wine & Dine half got The first mile of runDisney’s Wine & Dine half got me so excited about the rest of the season. 🏃🏻‍♀️ I recapped the whole weekend (including 5k thoughts) on last week’s The Castle Run Podcast.
Did you run the W&D 5K? How did it go? Brief paus Did you run the W&D 5K? How did it go?

Brief pause in our trek through The runDisney Companion this week to spend a little time recapping Wine & Dine. I talk through the 10K and half and then spend a little time with my thoughts on the new 5k format and the changes that came with it. Would love to hear your thoughts too. 

But spoiler alert going in: not one person was swept at the 5K and not one course was cut short. You are all amazing. 🩵

How were your races?

A lot of you told me this was super helpful for Wi A lot of you told me this was super helpful for Wine & Dine, so I thought I’d share it out again as we round the bend toward marathon. A tool to help you see how your moving pace and your start time (as compared to the last wave’s) can interact on race day to determine how much time you have for characters and other stops along the way. 

All the common sense qualifiers apply: this doesn’t guarantee anything, Disney requires that everyone keep the 16 min/mile pace, and keeping moving makes for a better experience for everyone. And always listen to CMs and volunteers on and off the course. 

How this applies to the 5Ks will likely continue to develop, but for now I would use the last wave of your corral group rather than the last wave of the very last corral.

Don’t know what times to use? You can play with the same times from Marathon Weekend 2026 on my site. The calculator is at thecastlerun.com/cushion.
