We are up bright and early to run the Disneyland 10k! ​
Picture
Picture
And we made it to Agrabah! ​
Picture
Picture
After running a 10k, might as well drop in one last time at DCA Tower. ​
Picture
Picture
Our last ride on classic DCA Tower. Fun ride but we're fine with Guardians coming in. After all, FL does it better:)
Picture
Picture
Going to check out Luigi's Rollickin' Roadsters in Cars Land.
Picture
Picture
Luigi's is a cute ride, definitely a nice addition to Cars Land.
Picture
We might regret this, but we're going on the swinging gondolas on Mickey's Fun Wheel. ​
Picture
Immediately regretting this as we swing freely above DCA.
Picture
But you do get a nice view of the parks from Mickey's Fun Wheel. ​
Picture
​California Screamin' has been down all morning. So far one train is cycling the track.
Picture
Picture
Radiator Springs Racers is also down again
Picture
No line at the beer truck and 2 major rides down? Guess what we're doing!
Picture
Picture
Disneyland has jalapeño cheese pretzels. Please bring them back to WDW! ​
Picture
Haunted Mansion is closed but reopening in a few days with their holiday layover. ​
Picture
Picture
​Rivers of America is also closed, but still offers a lovely view.
Picture
​You can see a bit of the Star Wars land construction just behind the walls in Critter Country.
Picture
​Haven't seen too many of the Disneyland "gangs" this weekend. We were curious as to why Walt is in quotes on theirs.
Picture
Having a pre-marathon dinner at DCA's Wine Country Trattoria. ​
Picture
Picture
Delicious meal of pasta, with a side of wine, to get some carbs in before tomorrow's Disneyland Half
Picture
Picture
One last stop at Cars Land and Radiator Springs before heading out for the night. ​
Picture
Picture
Picture

Ever see a line at the Starbucks at Downtown Disney at 5am? Gotta get some fuel for the Disneyland Half!
Picture
The elite runners in the Disneyland Half are on their way!
Picture
​Just another morning run with thousands of other sweaty crazy people.
Picture
Corrals backed up all the way to the parking structure. ​
Picture
Here we go! See you in 13.1 miles! ​
Picture
Cars Land was up first
Picture
Picture
Picture
​Running through the Paradise Pier area of DCA, with the World of Color fountains on.
Picture
Picture
Picture
The Three Caballeros were among the characters along the route in DCA
Picture
Picture
​Tower of Terror in the background of Flik's Fun Fair, a view that will soon be changing.
Picture
​Here's what you've all been waiting for... The back side of Tower!
Picture
​The course changes had us go through Disneyland for a shorter distance but back to DCA after
Picture
Storm Troopers were the only Star Wars characters out and about in Tomorrowland. ​
Picture
Picture
Going through Fantasyland and of course the highlight of running through Sleeping Beauty castle ​
Picture
Picture
Picture
Love that the Disney PhotoPass folks are doing the course photography here too ​
Picture
Characters from Robin Hood on the bus on Main Street ​
Picture
​Got to catch up with the news boys on their trolley on Buena Vista Street at DCA.
Picture
​One more run past Tower before exiting the parks and on to the streets of Anaheim.
Picture
​All of the cast members and volunteers throughout the race course were awesome!
Picture
Before finishing back at Disneyland, the next best thing is running at Angel Stadium!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Finished! More Disneyland Half updates to come, but shower and breakfast come first.
Picture
Please make a separate line at bag check for runners after the race. This is painful. ​
Picture
​After finishing the Disneyland Half & Disneyland 10K , a perfect way to celebrate is lots of food at Goofy's Kitchen
Picture
Picture
Picture
​Our afternoon of relaxation includes beer at Grand Californian's Hearthstone Lounge.
Picture
Picture
​Love this hidden Mickey, that you can find in the lobby of Disney's Grand Californian hotel.
Picture
And our Disneyland Half weekend has come to an end. See ya next year!
