Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend 2016 - Part One

We know our updates from Disneyland are few and far between, but this week we're totally making up for it with two amazing updates from the Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend (today and Friday) and an unbelievable update from the Walt Disney Family Museum on Thursday. We hope you enjoy Disney week (with a bit of Universal Studios Hollywood sprinkled in on Wednesday). =)

We are spending the weekend at Disneyland for the runDisney half marathon!

I guess we won't be riding "classic" Tower one last time.

It's a gorgeous day here at Disneyland!

Having breakfast at Rancho del Zocalo, while watching Big Thunder Mountain trains roll by.

It's the wildest ride in the wilderness!

Not a whole lot going on behind the walls for Star Wars land yet.

The band aboard King Arthur Carousel

While Fantasyland is already busy, Roger Rabbit will be packed later but has no wait now.

Love the fun Disneyland 60 photo ops still in the parks.

Disneyland crowds are picking up. Time to stop by Disney's California Adventure!

You can meet Nick and Judy from Zootopia at DCA. At WDW, they only appear in the parade.

Are these the lights from Stranger Things?

The sign lied, Tower is open!

Radiator Springs Racers is currently down at Cars Land in DCA.

There are a ton of popcorn flavors available in Cars Land!

We'll have to check out the new version of this attraction, Luigi's Rollickin' Roadsters.

Hold on like ya mean it! Ready to take off on one of my favorite coasters, California Screamin'!

Here's a tree, in memory of the Maliboomer.

I love this view!

I love this view too!

I love this view most of all.

The Cove Bar at DCA is always a popular spot. Lines start early!

Gonna check out Soarin' Around the World later to see the west coast version.

Racers is back open! 45 minutes standby and 5 minutes singles!

Old school fast pass for Hyperspace Mountain tonight.

We booked the Paint the Night on the go dining package tonight, since it ends in a few days.

The food for the Paint the Night on the go package is really good, and discounts are also accepted.

Time to make a stop at the Disneyland Hotel to pick up our runDisney goodies for the weekend.

Ready to run the Disneyland 10k and half marathon!

If pre-gaming is your thing, you can get a rum runner specialty drink before your race.

The people at Raw Threads always have the best shirts, and they're super comfy too!

Disney always does a terrific job at designing the medals and the Disneyland Half weekend is no exception

Super jealous of those running the inaugural Disneyland Paris half marathon and castle to chateau challenge!

Going for a ride on Hyperspace Mountain! Can't wait!

Jammin' on the Backlot is the nighttime entertainment in Hollywood at DCA. We wouldn't mind if ElecTRONica came back

Saw our first and final viewing of Paint the Night parade tonight

The technology in Paint the Night is amazing!

Several of the Disney princesses make an appearance in Paint the Night. And Olaf.

The Toy Story friends on Slinky in Paint the Night.

The final float in Paint the Night with sorcerer Mickey is exceptional. I hope this parade returns one day!

Caught the Disneyland Forever fireworks after the parade, which we viewed at It's a Small World rather than Main St.

The projections and fireworks from Disney films looked great on the building.

The Lion King segment was one of my favorites.

It wouldn't be a Disney show without "Let It Go" from Frozen.

A fantastic finale for Disneyland Forever, another show that we're sad to see go. Goodnight, we'll be back tomorrow!
