Sounds like good plans for this day! MK + Chef Mickeys will be nice! You will definitely need rest before the race, so good idea to get back to the room early.
Or I might save that one for our second MK day and instead head up into Fantasyland and torture Jim for a bit on IASW.
Sounds like a perfect meal to me, too!Mickey waffles, mac and (plastic) cheese and Oreo bon bons sound like heaven to me.
And I’ll stand for a while and watch Jim gawk at the Legos if he didn’t already find the store on his own.
I am with you on the salmon. I thought I was the only person that didn't like it.
I hope to someday try Chef Mickey's. Maybe on the trip I am planning for my 50th birthday.
I really enjoy the expo. It’s cool to look around at all of the different stuff. I always spend too much on merchandise there too.
Looks like a great plan tho!

I'll see my entire gang (except for my sister in England) this weekend for Thanksgiving so I hope to have a better idea of where we'll be and when soon so we can try to plan a Dismeet!
Yay!!!! Exciting update!
Love sparkly MK in the morning!!!! Nothing better in life... Well, maybe a few things? But in the top 3 for sure!
Your ride plan sounds excellent - that is exactly how I'd do it... I like to start on one side of the park and work my way around through out the day... However - typically that plan is abandoned and we end up zig-zagging more often than not. LOL
Is Splash still open for you on this trip? I know it closes in Jan - just not sure of the date?
And yay for DS, WoD and getting your race bib!!! Such an awesome accomplishment! Super proud of you! Do you feel like you are ready?
Have a great day my friend!

I honestly don’t expect to spend a huge time at the Expo. I’m not a professional runner by any means so the running merchandise doesn’t interest me too much. I will probably just get my bib and then check out the 5K merchandise for a Pluto shirt or something.
I’m looking forward to meeting Jackie (missjackiemcg), Ryan (rteetz) and all the other DISers running the race.
My main goal for this race is to get pictures with as many of the rare characters as I can without being swept off of the course. Since I know I will be at the back of the pack, I’m hoping I can keep up a good running pace in between meet and greets and use the time in line to catch my breath/rest my aching joints.
If we haven’t already found Jackie (missjackiemcg here on the DIS) and her husband by this time, we will be meeting up with them to share our first FP together from 2:05 – 3:05 PM for TOT.
Kinda sorta We're thinking either all of two of the following days: Saturday, Dec. 30, Monday, January 1, and/or Wednesday, January 3. I hope to know more today or tomorrow as I need to book FPs!!!I hope you have a great time with your family. So did you find out any more about Disney?
Yay!!!I’m looking forward to meeting Jackie (missjackiemcg), Ryan (rteetz) and all the other DISers running the race.
I loved this on my last trip!We may be heading straight to our early 11 am lunch ADR at 50’s Prime Time.
Oooh, how did I miss this?!And this awesome, huge peanut butter/chocolate cake for dessert.
Yes, you must do these meets - they were SO much fun!I’m hoping the lines aren’t too long for the characters since neither of us has met Kylo Ren or BB-8 yet.
Looks like a great day! The 5K is a really fun race. I love running through Epcot when its dark and the torches are lit. I hope to see you at the pre-race meet up too!
Your race plans sound good, I hope you get to meet some awesome characters!
Fun plans at DHS. It certainly will be a long day for you!
I am feeling the same way!! I mean, I'm somewhat interested in wandering around, but I can't see myself spending tons of money or finding anything that I really must have!
Yay, me too!!!
I think I read somewhere (probably around here somewhere!) that there isn't a strict minutes per mile cutoff for the 5K...meaning no balloon ladies. BUT, I could be wrong!! My plan is very much the same. I was able to run the entire 5K turkey trot we did on Thanksgiving, so that was a definite confidence booster. It's that 10K that's got me nervous!! But you better believe my plan is to stop for every character I can!!
Yay again!!

Ok, reading your DHS plans, I feel like my plans for our dhs day is seriously lacking... I think I am going to copy and paste your day right into my day? Lol. Since you won't get there until later because of the race, and we will also get there later due to Ohana... you don't mind if I copy you do you? Lol. Admittedly, I think it's your food pictures that did me in. No 50's for us this trip, unless we belly up to the bar for the PB&J shake.
Looking forward to seeing your running costume, I bet it will be great!
And jealous that you and Jackie get to meet!
D~
I'm not sure many people care what I will be wearing but I like posting them and since it's my PTR, I'm doing what I want.
Well I certainly did get the milkshake, but I think I could have handled both Or at least taken the milkshake to goNot sure how you missed that peanut butter/chocolate cake. I don't think it gets a lot of attention on the DIS because everyone gets the milkshakes.
Yep! We sure do!And if you know me at all, you will realize that the only character I could be was Pluto!
I didn't know that was possible!Jim has not seen the new version but he is not a huge fan of Soarin’.
Yes, you do!Jim isn’t a big fan of either but I’ve got to have a few things for me, right?
YUMThat’s the ice cream martini from L’Artisan des Glaces.
Love your race outfit! And all your daily outfits!
Your Epcot plans sound great!
Loved seeing all of your outfits! And your running costume is fantastic!!!
And your Epcot day... we are doing Via Napoli too, can't wait! Their cheese pizza is tdf!
The rest of your day sounds perfect, I think I will just copy your entire trip!
D~
Race costume looks great!
I have that same country bears 45th shirt!
Via Napoli is always great.
I like seeing all your tees and bag combos, keep 'em coming!
I LOVE your costume for the 5K!! Of course there is no other character you could possible be!!!! Are you going to wear it to take pics with Pluto at DHS? I am torn on what to do--I really want to meet Baymax and Buzz dressed in my costumes, but not sure I'll be able to wear them all day....also I should probably shower at some point LOL

Yep! We sure do!
I didn't know that was possible!
Yes, you do!
YUM
Hi Pluto! I never comment very much, but I DO enjoy reading your TR! The race sounds so fun. As soon as I have this baby, I'm getting my butt back into gear to run in a Disney race. Can't wait to read more!
I love your race costumes and your bags! I like seeing outfits I really need to try the ice cream martini, I think it might be a little more my style than the other slushies (though I technically haven't tried them...)
