The myth of the runDisney Balloon Ladies is busted today: they're just like us. Really.  We interviewed Molly, Kathleen and Heather just before the Princess Half Marathon to talk about some tips you can use if you find yourself in the back of the pack.  They answer some questions like:  How can I become a Balloon Lady? Are you scary?  Can you get swept? What happens if you pass me on the course? Here are a few posts that might be helpful to the BOP (back of the pack) runner or new runDisney participant: https://noguiltdisney.com/bursting-balloon-lady-bubble-1/ https://no ..read more

By now, you have probably heard about Disney's Hollywood Studio's Jollywood Nights, the newest  Disney World Christmas Party hard ticket event. And most of the news after the first party was dire. "Worst Disney experience EVER" "Disaster" "Cancel and refund ALL of it!" were thrown with whole chests all over the internet.

And guess what: they were based on what we saw with the night 2 party. If you want a ..read more
