This is a FANTASTIC self-realization. 1) It is so typical of human nature to not recognize our "awesomeness" at the time, and criticize ourselves instead and 2) This gives me hope for an awesome Dopey 2018 with TONS of park time, as I barring an injury (knock on wood) I know I will be uber well trianed! Of course I'm pretty sure I've got 10 years on you, and that brings it's own issues. LOL!
Yeah, it's a realization that is still hard for me to accept. That's something I really struggled with last year (not as much this year, but still a bit) - comparing my current self to my past self. Not a good thing to do!
This is the only way to "enjoy" a flight!
Exactly!!
I do wonder why they chose to do a completely original room instead of replicating a beloved part of the movie's castle ... I dunno. I'm sure they had a reason.
I would absolutely love a library, though ... preferably one that actually had real books that you could read while waiting for your food (although I feel like I'm the only person in the world rude enough to read in a fancy restaurant).
I'm curious about that, too. Library/reading was such an important part of the movie...but here's a music box room?
I would totally read in a restaurant.
I watched Wishes from the GF boat dock (off in the corner of your picture last year), and while I agree that it's not my favorite vantage point, it's not bad. Definitely better than nothing.
Agreed. If I could be at Narcoossee's right now watching Wishes instead of here at work, I totally would do it.
Daisy may not be on any of the medals, but she does match your race shirt pretty nicely!
True!! Coordinating outfits counts for something.
Yay! Tink time is next! Plus, Tink is extra special because it's the one-year anniversary of your return to racing after your injury. Hopefully you'll stay healthy in training and have another great race weekend!
(And I do hope you get both C2C medals ... you earned them both!)
AHHH you're right!
Can't believe it's been a year already. Time flies!
Great finish! Your lunch at BoG is almost what I get, except french onion instead of potato leek.
Their soups are so good. Maybe I need to get both soups and a cupcake next time.
Sorry you weren't feeling well! But it was so hot. I had to take a nap before brunch. It takes it out of you when its hotter. Boo to not feeling well at Narcoosees - we tried the brunch there and it was awesome.
That is true, the sun was tough during the second part of the half marathon!
I forgot they had a brunch, I need to try that!!
See you at Tink! I haven't yet, but probably will pre order the dooney.
It's coming up fast!! Yay!
Thanks for another great trip report! Already looking forward to Tink!
Thanks for reading!
Wow, that salad looks sad. A Daisy medal would be so cool! Glad you enjoyed Princess, it does seem corrals & expectations plays a roll in someone's experience at this weekend and probably all of them to a point.
It was a sad salad. Not a fan.
I did enjoy Princess. The way people talk about it, it's like there are zero redeeming qualities, and while I don't doubt that others have had that experience, I thought it was fun!
Good luck at Tink and may the Training be ever in your favor!
Thank you!
Yay! Thanks for sharing another great trip report! I'm glad you had a good time with your friends. They seem really cool and easy to travel with-- that's not always the case with friend vacations!
Thanks for reading! Yeah I wasn't sure how it would go because we had never traveled together before, but it was great!
Good luck with your Tink training. It seems that Tink falls at a pretty ideal time of year for training in the spring time!
Thanks! Yeah, I'm looking forward to it warming up for some nice outdoor runs...we're getting there!!
Great trip report! Looking forward to seeing you at Tink. Less than 2 months now. Yay!!!!
SQUEEEE
Great TR. I learned a lot reading your reports. I especially enjoyed reading this one and learning great tips to enjoy a rundisney week especially coming late to the EXPO. Will be reading your next report.
Thank you!
I hope it was helpful!
This is so fun! Thanks for including us in your adventure!
Thanks for reading!
Another TR in the books - thanks for taking us along with you again! Lovely medal shot of all 4 of them with the castle!
Now on to Tink! It will be here before you know it!
Thanks for reading! I'm trying to think of some good medal shots for Tink...I have some ideas but I may just need to wing it once I get there.
