runDisney Star Wars Dark Side Challenge Medals Released

December 4, 2015

Are you running the Inaugural Star Wars Dark Side Challenge in April?  I am!  I try to run almost every inaugural event that runDisney launches.  But then that means I have to keep running them so that I can eventually earn legacy status with their special recognition.

Today runDisney launched their medal designs for the Star Wars races in April and they look awesome!  I wish I were running the Star Wars challenge in January in California so that I could also earn the Star Wars Kessel Run Challenge Medal.  It’s all about the BLING!!!

There was another teaser in the email which was the announcements for the registration dates and race dates for 2016 and some for 2017.  As a fellow Mickey Miler, Eddie McCoy pointed out.  There is the caveat at the bottom of the list telling us to stay tuned for 2017 additional race dates.  Wonder what that means!

Which races will you be running in 2016 and 2017?  I will be running the Dopey Challenge, Princess Glass Slipper Challenge, Star wars Dark Side Challenge, Tinkerbell Half Marathon and the Dumbo Double Dare.  With intentions of doing Wine and Dine when registration opens.

I’m excited that Donald Duck is the character for the newest release of the NB runDisney special sneakers being released during Dumbo Double Dare Disneyland Half marathon weekend. Donald is my son’s favorite character and I know that they carry children sizes for these sneakers.

This model is the New Balance Boracay Fresh Foam, similar to the Tinkerbell model that was just released in may.  The sneakers will be sold for $140 at the runDisney Health and Fitness Expo.

The News I Was Waiting For Has Arrived

August 7, 2015

Last Friday I was scouring the web to see if I could uncover any news about the Disney Social Media Moms application process coming up. It typically opens up around September 8. Well less than a week later the news came out: 

The application process begins on September 8th until September 15th.  I have applied for the past 2 years. Last year I made it to round 2. I’m hoping for some luck this year to go further.

This is a very coveted pane to be on. There are only a handful that are chosen. So I am going to do my best to put my creative thinking cap on and find a way to stand out and become noticed again!

Wish me luck!

Inside Out Sneak Peek

June 13, 2015

Prior to our arrival to the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration, the agenda said that we would be going to Downtown Disney early in the morning on Saturday for a few hours.  I suspected that we were going for a movie screening; buT didn’t know which movie we were going to see.

During the General Session on Friday, Jonas Rivera, Producer and Vice President of Production for Pixar happened to mention a little movie coming out called “Inside Out”.  It was then, that we learned we were going to get a Sneak Peek into DIsney Pixar’s latest new movie.

Jonas shared with us what goes into the making of an animated picture.  He showed us several of the different roles that the artists have and how much work goes into a movie.  He said they make a movie nine to ten times before a movie is actually completed!  The premise of the movie was inspired by the experiences ones of the team members was having with his tween daughter.  I’m sure you all want to know what goes on inside the brains of your children.  During Jonas’ presentation we saw movie clips, sketches and the voice artists of all of the characters.  I was excited to learn that we were going to see this movie.  I wasn’t sure if it would be Inside Out of Tomorrowland for our special sneak peek so I was excited to learn that it was Inside Out.  I was even more excited after I saw more about the characters in the movie and the voice personalities.

On Saturday morning, after our ride-along video taping in the Magic Kingdom (more to come on that in a future post), we were bused back from the Magic Kingdom to the Yacht Club where we got on another bus to Downtown Disney around 8:30. When we got to the theater we had to check our cell phones in at the front.  No video taping or photographs were allowed during the screening of the film.  It was TOP SECRET!  We then picked up our Grab and Go breakfast boxes, fruit, muffins, coffee, tea and juice and went to the theater.  I have never been to the AMC Theater in Downtown Disney.  The seats were very comfortable and the theater was really nice!

Before the movie started we were treated to some previews to Star Wars Rebels coming on Disney XD June 20.  We also saw a preview to the new Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens.  I had seen it before but seeing the preview in the movie theater gave me goose bumps!!   I didn’t consider myself a big Star Wars fan (I’m sorry, don’t shoot me!)  I like the movies; but I don’t consider myself a Star Wars junkie. But now that I saw the preview I want to watch all of the movies over the next few months to get ready for the new movie.  I can’t wait to see it in December!

We had one last surprise before we saw the movie.  We  Pixar short file called “Lava” which was adorable!  We had the chance to see the entire movie but you can see a clip from it here:

Inside Out comes out in theaters on June 19th.  We saw two thirds of the movie so we will be going to the theater to see the entire film!  It was THAT good!  Will you be going to see Inside Out this summer?
