Hello from the Nation's Capital

Hello I joined here because like everyone here I love disney. In 40 days we will be going and taking my little pirate princess to have a pirate room! In the past we've stayed at the AKL. This year I'm looking forward to Baby Cakes!

Welcome to the boards! How many times have you been to Disney in the past? Do you have a favorite park/ride?

I'm not too far away from you, up around Baltimore! Happy to have another Mid-Atlantic person here!

1st Day we land at about 11 am. We'll check into our pirate room. Then we'll spend half the day in Epcot. We will eat a late lunch at the Coral Reef. Watch Fireworks, and go back to our piratey room and sleep.

2nd Day we'll go to the Magic Kingdom. We'll have a late lunch at Cinderella's Royal Table. Eat at the Tortuga, ride lots of rides. Watch the fireworks. I plan to do a short 4-5 mile AM run this day.

3rd Day we will spend at the Animal Kingdom, with some other family in the area, and then eat at Boma. I'm hoping to sneak in a late night swim at some point.

4th day we will eat breakfast at Ohana. We will go to Down town Disney, swim, then to a rehersal for a wedding about an hour away.

5th day I'll run about 10 miles at 5am at the resort. Wedding.

6th day check out, then spend half a day at Epcot. Fly out in the evening. I may get up super early for a swim before we pack the last of our stuff.

Favorite place to eat I think I like the Coral Reef the best Smile. I like Maraquesh as well, and Boma.

Ah, welcome! Awesome trip planned - can't wait to hear what you have at Coral Reef! Are you training for an endurance event, or do you just like to work out?

I am loving all these September/October trips that are coming up! You all will have to fill us with lots of trip reports..so that those of us who aren't going until next Spring or Summer can survive!

I am training to run the Nike Women's Half MArathon for a second time for charity. I run multiple races a year, and I dedicate one a year to charity. I've done triathlon, and distance cycling too. I find if I dont keep moving my joints lock up as well (RA) hence why I dont stop working out when on vacation. Plus it allows me more room in the calorie bank to eat more Disney Treats! I love the gluten free brownies, and the mickey icecreams!

That's awesome! I'm currently training for my first half, and I'm scared to death that I'm gonna get swept! I have a great friend who keeps telling me I'll be fine - she did the princess half last winter - so I keep believing her Smile

7 miles in the am...wish me luck...and pixie dust!
