SAFD: Has to be New York City marathon for me. I never thought I’d have the opportunity to do it. Great atmosphere and the spectators in Brooklyn were amazing. LA Marathon is good also but they kind of ruined the course when it doubled back to Century City instead of finishing in Santa Monica...

SAFD: I’ve done many solo trips when I was single. There’s a lot to like. Single rider lines, I can go where I want, eat where I want. I often focused on finding unique and out of the way spots in the parks. Cast members have always been great. I love going with friends but I do enjoy my...

SAFD: I mostly run to do the races and the social aspect of meeting up with the great friends I’ve met along the way. I’m not fast and never will be but I’ve had great experiences because of it. I’ve done several other races with people I’ve met on these boards and that has made it worth...

My next one is Wine and Dine weekend. I haven’t done much training in Dallas during the summer but run indoors occasionally and will do more outside when it cools down. My main focus has been getting past some nagging injuries and I feel like I’ve done that.

At WDW, Country Bear Jamboree and MuppetVision. At DL, Mr. Toad and the canoes.

SAFD: Many great memories, like my first Dopey or running the Flying Pig half marathon in a thunderstorm, but I think the one I'm most proud of is the LA Marathon in 2017. It was my second marathon after I swore I was one and done. I'm proud of it because I had IT band issues during training...

SAFD: I'd go with Emperor's New Groove, Encanto and Tangled. And I'll probably have three different choices tomorrow.

If this is going to be your only trip to DL, I'd suggest getting a park hopper. Even if you spend most of the time at DLP, DCA has some things worth seeing. Radiator Springs Racers and Incredicoaster are two of my favorite rides there, along with Guardians of the Galaxy Breakout and Avengers...

I usually take Uber or Lyft from LAX. I’d recommend checking car rental rates as well. If you’re going to do a lot of sightseeing besides DL, a car might be worth it but if you’ll just be at DL the whole time, it’s turned out to be a lot less for me. It was about $45 in September from LAX...

Glad you’re home and hope you feel better!

SAFD: My 2nd Marathon weekend in 2019. My first was fun and memorable in 2016 but I met a lot of people that I still meet up with today, it was my first DATW and the people I met made me sign up for Dopey the following year.

WAFDL: I’m doing the Half Marathon challenge at Flying Pig in May, Wine and Dine and possibly Irving or Dallas in December.

I’ve been looking at that! I was looking at the 10k though.

I'll definitely try to see the nighttime shows if they're scheduled when I'm there.

Pop Century has been mine, primarily because of price, but having the Skyliner there is great. And I think All Stars have now upgraded their rooms to include this, but rooms at Pop have a lot of USB ports to charge electronics. Wouldn’t mind a hot tub but otherwise, it’s been perfect for me...

WAFDL: I’ve done Genie + a few times at WDW, for MK and DHS. At DL, my daughter and I got it for Disneyland and it was a much better experience compared to WDW, in terms of return times being close to when we reserved them. We were doing the Halloween party at DCA at night, so we used it...

American Adventure and Carousel of Progress are where I usually end up napping.

WAFDL: For me, it's between Space Mountain and Thunder Mountain. It's nice not to need a chiropractor after riding Space Mountain at Disneyland (but then I go ride Matterhorn), and I like the effects on their Thunder Mountain.

WAFDL: Also, for fans of the Adventurer's Club, Trader Sam's has a secret menu and both the frozen and on the rocks versions of the Kungaloosh drink are available.

WAFDL: Off the top of my head, I enjoy the ride experience more at Disneyland. There are fewer rides available for Genie +, so you may have more options with a less than 90 + minute posted wait time. There are unique rides like Alice in Wonderland, Casey Jr., Indiana Jones, Matterhorn and...
