Have fun in Disneyland! I’ll be there in spirit.
As a member of the running media, Disney sometimes provides me with complimentary race entry, hotel, park tickets, and some meals for runDisney events. But as always, all opinions are purely my own. I really do believe in being honest about my experiences and Disney is no exception. For more information read my Disclosure Policy.
I wish I was there, but I’m injured so I’m sure I’d be moping a little bit.
