 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 have our first Walt Disney World update of 2018 as Renée takes us on the tour of the amazing looking Epcot International Festival of the Arts. In it's second year, Epcot's newest festival looks to be even bigger and better than last year. Enjoy!! Written by Renée Girard Visiting Epcot tonight to see some of the offerings at this year’s Festival of the Arts.  A sample of some of the merchandise available at Epcot’s Festival of the Arts.     At the Odyssey Festival Showplace, you can shop and dine, view artwork and go to seminars. Tonight, I thought I would just grab a quick beer. 
 If you can’t make it to one of the Disney on Broadway shows, they sell merchandise from The Lion King and Aladdin at the festival  There is a whole exhibit of various Disney attractions posters from the parks around the world. So cool!     Some of the food and drinks available at the festival booth in Mexico. Again, I’ll just take the beer.
Front row for the Disney on Broadway concert with Kevin Massey and Jenn Gambatese!   Kevin Massey and Jenn Gambatese put on such a great concert at Epcot, highlighting songs from the Disney on Broadway musicals Tarzan, Newsies and Frozen.
  I had to try the chocolate flight at the Artist’s Table in America. It’s very rich, and any chocolate lover must have it! Definitely hit the spot on a chilly night tonight.   I absolutely love the work of Jerrod Maruyama and already have several prints framed at home. Looks like I’ll be adding this Epcot one to my collection   It’s great to have the Epcot International Festival of the Arts back again this year. We’ll be back for a day time visit real soon!
