I'm Melody. :) Disneyland is my happy place, where I can escape the real world of responsibility and chores, and just totally be the fun mom. My favorite Disney movie ever is Pete's Dragon (that should explain my username!)
Avoid Toy Story parking at all costs!! There's a (seemingly very popular convention) going on and it is SO backed up. It took us 20 minutes just to get in from Katella. Crazy!
bump for those headed to the parks - madsdad

One I am so happy to see you in lounge again and back at Disneyland. Hope it was a great day! - MarshaMouse

Thank you Marsha! I've missed everyone but was getting nothing done ;) Yesterday was a day alone with my son (open to close!) and it was a blast! - Melliott 299.4 #613 9:28AM

I get a Disney date night with my husband tomorrow night (okay tonight)! We've been planning this for weeks and he even passed up Lakers tickets for me. Okay well he knew he'd be sleeping on the couch for a week if he flaked on me, but still. ;)
I enjoy Disney dates with my wife also. Doing things as a couple helps make any marriage stronger. Have fun! - grumpypapa

Disney date is a guaranteed win. Lakers on the other hand...... Have fun!!! - KidAgain@Dland

Question for anyone that has done any of the Disney races: is registration the only chance you get to buy the commemorative pin? Or is it available later whether online or at the expo? Thanks!
For the DLR 1/2 you had to pre purchase the pin when you registered. - Shunasee

And when i checked the expo they are not selling the pin though. - otilegna

For the Tink you had to Pre-order the pin. But you can order after you register. I did that for the Tink Half and was fine. Wasn't sure that I wanted the pin and decided a few months after registering that I would get the pin too. - LilSterner

Thank you so much, that's what I was hoping! I didn't expect it to still be available at the expo, but if I can buy a couple months that would be great. ;) - Melliott 299.4 #613 11:12PM

The Disneyland 1/2 Marathon in September is 73% full now (or 27% empty, depending on how you look at it). If you're a procrastinator like me, hurry up and register before its all full! 👍
I'm strongly considering the 5k. I normally don't run at all so that would be a HUGE accomplishment for me! - ladylikesdisney

Hey, run a little,then walk a little... then run a little, then walk a little... baby steps! Plus, you have plenty of time to train! JUST DO IT! You'll be proud after. Next step... the 1/2! 5 years and I'm still wanting to do the 1/2. Next year I will for sure! - DiscoSteve 252.3 #984 7:25PM
Same here ( I signed up)! I don't run at all but I know I can get through this 5K cos if my mom can survive breast cancer I can survive as well! - iamdugsmaster 756.6 #132 7:31PM
I really think I'm going to register once I get my tax return. I looked into it, and they only require an average of a 16 minute mile, which I could do walking I'm pretty sure. I really want a finisher medallion to commemorate that I actually did something outside of my comfort zone. - ladylikesdisney 921.5 #95 7:31PM
If I can do a half marathon, just about anybody can!! - LilSterner 2656.0 #17 11:14PM
I think I'm going to sign up for the 5k as well. But I want to try to run/jog the whole thing. - JenInWonderland 1025.1 #86 10:11AM
Jen, the 5K I did a few years ago was what sparked my love for running! Before training for that, I couldn't run 10 feet without getting massive side aches and out of breath. It is the perfect distance to really prepare your body and it won't take over your life training for. :) I'm excited for you! - Melliott 299.4 #613 10:44AM
Jen, that's my goal too. I thought about it last night and 7 months is plenty of time to train to run 3 miles - ladylikesdisney 921.5 #95 10:49AM
Look into the couch to 5k program. There are apps for it too. It's an excellent training program. - KissDclown 1088.1 #76 11:29AM
”walking” a half marathon at a 16min/mile pace not doable... The average walking pace is well over 20min/mile. If you properly train (to walk or run), it can be done... like Ive said on here last year, its great to encourage people to set goals and reach them but we dont want to be giving running advice that could potentially hurt someone. - michelledork

I had so much fun with my little girl yesterday. It was her first time dressing up and she felt so special getting so much attention and I loved seeing her face light up every time someone said "Hi Alice!" I wish I could freeze time forever so she would never grow up, never date, and never be too old to hold my hand. 💜
Omg!! These are the cutest pics!! She is adorable! - RCmom
2588.3 #20 10:09AM

Oh, I would love to meet her! - Alicewhoareyou
