 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:

 At long last DisneyQuest at Walt Disney World is no more. And despite a few people who staged a sit-in the day after it's closure (seriously?) it doesn't seem that it will be missed. Still, Renée and a whole bunch of other people decided to make one last visit last weekend. Enjoy Written by Renée Girard  One final visit to DisneyQuest. Because why not?  Hose of Blues has happy hour going on. Nothing wrong with a Margarita beforehand!  Oh boy, here we go.  Posters for attractions in the elevator instead of the long gone video of the Genie that used to welcome guests.   Ventureport, the entrance to all the "zones" in DisneyQuest  There are Explore, Create, Score and Replay zones     Create zone is actually interesting, with interactive activities such as Animation Academy    The Create Zone is home to the once popular Cyberspace Mountain, where you can design and ride your own coaster.  We attempted to ride Mighty Ducks Pinball Slam ... but got e-stopped (kind of like the actual Ducks in the playoffs)    DisneyQuest was REALLY crowded. Guess everybody is visiting one last time too.    The Comix attraction structure still remains but the ride has been gone for quite some time.   All attractions, including Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blaster had a pretty good line. So we passed on those.  Sooo, we decided happy hour at House of Blues was a better option than handling the crowds. Thanks for the memories DisneyQuest!!! Related Updates:
 Today we say goodbye to DisneyQuest ... yes, it's still open for awhile. DisneyQuest is finally being put out of it's, we mean closing to make way for some NBA monstrosity, err experience. Looking at the update below perhaps the best use of this space would have been to convert it into a Dave and Busters? Written by Renée Girard Tonight we're at Disney Springs. We aren't dining at the new Planet Hollywood yet, but they have some powerful lights you can see for miles!  The Characters in Flight balloon has gotten a really nice makeover.  We're going to visit DisneyQuest one last time!   Entering the third floor of DisneyQuest, Ventureport, where your adventure begins.  We tried to go on Buzz Lightyear Astroblasters. Took forever to load, ride started for .5 seconds and went down and we had to exit.  
Mighty Ducks Pinball Slam. I guess it's fun? At least it was working.   There's a good variety of racing games at Disney Quest.   The selection of arcade games is definitely the best part of going to DisneyQuest.     The snack bar on the 4th floor of DisneyQuest appears to be closed for good.  If you remember the Ride the Comix attraction, which closed some time ago, it's now just a lounge area.    Well, they do have Avatar pinball at DisneyQuest.  There's always Cyberspace Mountain, if you feel like designing your own coaster and get tossed around.  Here's what 5 floors of gaming awesomeness looks like.  I wish I could say that I'm sad DisneyQuest is closing but I'm not. Our final visit was disappointing and I need to bathe in hand sanitizer  Related Updates:
