The biggest downside to doing the Dopey Challenge (see our Dopey Challenge Recap post for reports on every individual race) is getting up at or before 4:00 a.m. for 4 consecutive mornings. This is even worse than the
The next morning of Walt Disney World Marathon weekend, it was time for the 10K. At just over 6 miles, I wasn’t really worried about this race, either. The Family Fun Run 5K had gone fairly well, and even without proper training, I could jog 6 miles without much strain. Plus, I had been advised
The Sony RX100 is the best point & shoot camera ever. It is a p&s camera so good that it’s better compared to larger sensor cameras. Point and shoot cameras have always been about compromise, and in the past, you always had to compromise one or more of the following: camera size, sensor size, lens

While this is a bittersweet ending to a great chapter of Walt Disney World Christmas history, we’re optimistic that Star Wars Land will be
With only the tempting leftovers in the fridge and gadgets scattered around the house as a fond reminder of Christmas, it’s time to start thinking about the Walt Disney World Marathon. Or, in my case, the Dopey Challenge. This is the event that has participants run the 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, and Marathon for 48.6 miles
Following our popular Self-Guided Yuletide Resort Tour post, a few people have asked if we have something similar for Disneyland’s hotels at Christmas. Since there are only 3 hotels at Disneyland Resort–all within a short walk of one another–this tour is going to be a bit different…otherwise it’d be over in like 45 minutes. The
While I felt invincible until hitting a wall shortly after 2 a.m. on the first day of our Christmas 2015 Walt Disney World vacation, the next morning was not so kind to me. I set my alarm so I could wake up for the sunrise, thinking I could get by with 4 or so hours
