    Disney on Zoom: Ever Wondered What’s on the Bulletin Board in Carousel of Progress?

    ByLisa March 23, 2022March 23, 2022

    Everything speaks at Disney. Down to the last detail. It’s part of what makes it all so fun and repeatable – the degree to which we can dig deeper and deeper into the experience, always uncovering more layers. Which brings me to this!! I was on Carousel of Progress the other day with a long…

    ByLisa March 2, 2022March 2, 2022

    Another race weekend is behind us!! It’s hard to believe that we haven’t had a Princess Race Weekend in 2 years – but it was soon after the weekend of the 2020 Princess Half that the world shut down. This weekend saw 4 events along with the Expo at ESPN Wide World of Sports. As…

    Ten Things You Won’t Want to Miss at the 2021 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival

    ByLisa September 1, 2021September 1, 2021

    One of the things I love most about these long festivals is how long I have to find (and repeat!!) my favorite things. Just think – today is September 1st – so we’ve had a month and a half to discover our favorites…and still have more than two months to revisit them!! I was thinking…

    Boma is Back Baby!! And here’s every single thing you’ll find on the dinner buffet.

    ByLisa August 21, 2021August 21, 2021

    There have been a lot of exciting reopenings at Walt Disney World over the last year plus. But I don’t think anything has gotten me nearly as excited since the reopening of the Parks themselves as this one: the reopening of Boma at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. Far and away my favorite buffet at Walt…

That said…I thought it was worth separately laying out a few opinions and thoughts on what we all saw today. The Keys to the Kingdom….

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.
