Disneyland Halloween is our favorite- and when runDisney added the Halloween Half Marathon Weekend, we knew we had to be there! Jane and Patty recap the Oogie Boogie Bash and the expo and races in this weeks episode.  Join us (and our slight ADHD) for this week's episode filled with happiness, fun and magic.    ..read more

It's THAT time of year--- way too early for Halloween for normal people but way too late for those of us who love Disney Hallowen 365.  Jane and Patty are recapping Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Walt Disney World and talk a little bit about the Disneyland Halloween Half Marathon coming up next week.  Posts that might be helpful for Halloween Planning: https://noguiltdisney.com/mickeys-not-so-scary-halloween-party-tips-3-things-not-to-do/  https://noguiltdisney.com/character-greets-and-magic-shots-at-oogie-boogie-bash-photopass/ https://noguiltdisney.com/list-of-micke ..read more

We gotta talk about it... Changes are coming and we of course have some thoughts. Also, why didn't Disney World give Rock N Roller Coaster a nice Taylor Swift/Muppets Mayhem overlay?  (Go ahead and listen to the State of the Pod episode if it feels like its been a hot minute- cause it has!) I forgot to give a heads up where we planned to add the advertising, so here's for the skippers who want to know when its coming: around the 20 minute mark around the 42 minute mark Some posts that might be helpful: https://noguiltdisney.com/lightning-lane-multi-pass-tiers-for-walt-disney-world/&nbs ..read more

Kinda feels like people blame Taylor Swift for everything these days, but in our case, it's somewhat true. As true fangirls, we make no apologies. But we do feel like we owe an explanation (because unlike Rep TV, there will be one!)  So here it is. We took a long, extended break from the podcast for multiple reasons, and yes, one of them was legit Taylor Swift. Health issues, life traumas, and a little bit of post TTPD ADHD all made up for our absence.  But we're back- and we're stronger than ever in our Disney parks love.  A few reminders:  https://noguiltdisney.com/thing ..read more

Joining Patty today are Alicia and Hope, two runDisney Princess Half Marathon runners and podcast listeners! We're talking about why we didn't love the 5K and why both ladies loved the 10K. Alicia also gives the half marathon some high praise. TLDL: might want to consider training for the longer races if you are looking for more space to run and great character ops! A Princess first (?)--- rave reviews for Princess runner etiquette!

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

What happens when it rains during a runDisney race? Does it ever get canceled? Welp... We're going to talk about the 2024 Marathon Weekend Half marathon that did not get canceled but did not happen as it should have. The course was shortened, and Theresa had a less-than-ideal experience. But was it still fun? Of course!
