In our 3 page finale, we pick up after our previous Shanghai Disneyland Grand Opening Trip Report installment on our final morning at the park and take you through to our excursion to Hong Kong Disneyland. After 2 days in Shanghai Disneyland, you’d think we would’ve seen it all–or most everything–by this point, but that
We had the fortune of attending Shanghai Disneyland’s opening day! In this trip report, we will share hundreds of photos from the first 3 days of Shanghai Disney Resort’s celebration, thoughts on the park, restaurants at which we dined, the best and worst attractions, and more. For us, this was the first time we’ve had
Sorry, it’s been a while since Shanghai Disneyland Grand Opening Trip Report – Part 3. Hopefully, I’ll get the next couple of installments done fairly quickly. Now that we’ve detailed most of the main attractions, I don’t need to be quite as verbose. We left off the last installment with the sky starting to look
Our Shanghai Disneyland Grand Opening visit picks up here on day 2, after our experience closing out the park opening day. This is the first installment that will have (a few) on-ride photos, so if you want to avoid spoilers, exit now. Before we start running around on the second day, we wanted to briefly
We ended Part 1 of our Shanghai Disneyland Grand Opening Trip Report as Sarah and I ate lunch, after splitting up from Mark and Molly so they could watch Mickey’s Storybook Express parade. Once they were done blowing kisses to Olaf, we rejoined them. That’s where we’ll pick up in this spoiler-free trip report installment…
Shanghai Disneyland has been a long time coming. The project dates back to Michael Eisner’s tenure as CEO in the 1990s, and got serious with a letter of intent in 2002 before Hong Kong Disneyland even opened. Bringing the park to fruition from there was not simple, and took years of negotiations before the Shanghai
Now that I’ve completed each of the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend race reports, I thought I’d follow up with some closing thoughts about the overall experience of doing the Dopey Challenge, as well as other assorted runDisney thoughts. I had a ton of fun doing the Dopey Challenge. After last year’s Walt Disney World
Before we dig into the second half of the 2016 Walt Disney World Marathon, I want to revisit the topic of entertainment cuts during runDisney events, because that generated some interesting feedback here and on social media. I want to start by saying I love runDisney. I think it’s exceptionally managed and largely a showcase
The next day was the main event, the 2016 Walt Disney World Marathon. After feeling some pain at the end of the Walt Disney World Half Marathon, I decided to take it easy the previous afternoon. Well, if I’m being honest, it’s more like the weather forced me to take it easy. We had headed
After a wet 10K the previous day, it was time for the Walt Disney World Half Marathon. 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
