 This past weekend our very own Renée ran her 10th Princess Half Marathon and is among a very elite group of "Perfect Princesses". But we already knew that. =) Congrats to Renée and all of the runners. Written by Renée Girard It’s just after 4am here on the east coast, and we just arrived at Epcot for the 10th anniversary of Disney’s Princess Half Marathon!  We just took a big group photo of all of the “Perfect Princesses”, aka people who have run the Princess Half every year!  At the starting line with several thousand other runners way before the crack of dawn.   The Princess Half announcers are on stage and getting the crowd warmed up. We’ll be heading out in just about 20 minutes!
Always great to see Jeff Galloway in the corrals before a Disney race!  Cinderella’s fairy godmother whipped up some fireworks and sent runners out on the 10th annual Disney Princess Half Marathon.  A nice morning jog at sunrise through the Magic Kingdom.  Belle and Gaston were greeting runners this morning outside of his tavern for the Princess Half  Congrats to all who participated in the WDW Princess Half this weekend! We had a blast and will be back once again next year!  Related Updates:

 Today we've got a quick update from Disney's Hollywood Studios. We'll take a look at both Star Wars Land and Toy Story Land as well as a few pics of the soon to be Yesterland The Great Movie Ride (Land). Land, Land, Land. =) Enjoy!! Written by Renée Girard Upon entering Disney's Hollywood Studios toll plaza, you can get a pretty good look at the beginnings of Star Wars Land taking shape.    Construction still going strong on Toy Story Land.  A bit more of Star Wars Land construction over by Star Tours.   The new look for Muppet-Vision 3D entrance. Still my favorite 3D movie in all the Disney parks!  Only a few weeks left for this classic DHS attraction, The Great Movie Ride.    Gotta admit that I'm sad to see The Great Movie Ride nearing the end. It's one of those WDW dark rides I still remember going on as a kid.    Related Updates:
 Here at Park Journey we always enjoy showing off all aspects of the Theme Park Vacation experience, even if 95% of us will never actually be able to enjoy it. And that's exactly what we have today with a great preview of the almost completed Copper Creek DVC Expansion at Wilderness Lodge. Written by Renée Girard  Yesterday we stopped by Disney's Wilderness Lodge to preview the new DVC villas and cabins opening this month.   The Copper Creek Villas and Cabins are the newest addition to the DVC Family, making 3/4 of the rooms at Wilderness Lodge DVC    The deluxe studio is the size of a normal Disney resort room and of course fits in with the Wilderness Lodge themeing   If you want a bit more space and a fancy tub, you can have that in the one or two bedroom DVC Villas    And now we move on to the three bedroom villa, which I can already tell will be stunning just by the entrance   The Copper Creek DVC 3 bedroom villa is gorgeous! DIsney never disappointes when it comes to their resorts and this is no exception     If you're bored with the awesomeness in the villa you can always relax with these views of Bay Lake and the woods   Or you can just stare in amazement at this massive TV and entertainment system  The bathrooms, oh my...you can definitely bathe, shower and all that in style at these DVC Villas     I mean, who doesn't want to watch TV in your bathroom mirror as you shower and get ready for a day at Disney!?!?!  Not only are there villas but now luxury cabins as part of the DVC Expansion at Wilderness Lodge     The Copper Creek cabins remind me a lot of the bungalows at the Plynesian resort. Very spacious but has a cozy feel to it.     You can eat indoors at a large rustic table or outdoors at a picnic table in a screened-in patio   You also have your own personal hot tub spa on the patio, to unwind and enjoy nature right in the backyard   Again with the amazing bathroom with a TV in the mirror  Love the little touches Disney adds to all their resorts, to make things like this not just a normal walkway   Another new addition to Wilderness Lodge is Geyser Point Bar and Grill. It's an upscale outdoor lounge with table and quick service.     At the bar their featured cocktails can only be found here. Looks like a decent beer selection and some nice snacks too. 
 I tried the Cascadia Sangria Cocktail, since it's a hot summer day and it sounded refreshing. I loved it! Very unique and tasty.  Right next to the bar at Geyser Point is a lovely little seating area overlooking Bay Lake  Disney's Wilderness Lodge has always been a beautiful resort and the new Copper Creek DVC is a perfect addition. Very well done! Related Updates:
