No character stops for this one?
Nope. Between the 2017 full and the 2019 5K and 10K, I had never stopped for characters. Even peeling off for the SSE pic was a change for me.

Love your trip so far! Your family looks like they had a blast. Awesome pictures! I hardly took any photos this trip so enjoying yours, especially your firework shots! That 5k was sooooo cold, doesn't matter that we live in cold in the midwest because Florida cold feels so different.
So, since I volunteered the water stop, we heard the music loop over and over for hours, but I loved the mixture they had and "Dig A Little Deeper" is a favorite of mine too. I didn't get sick of it at all.
I love Fort Wilderness mainly because it's where we always stayed as kids. It has nostalgia to me, but I totally get what you are saying. We did a Trail's End breakfast Tuesday after the races & agree it is the most unDisney like yet to me most Disney just because I grew up with it. One friend had never been there and was so surprised how it was still Disney yet so calm and away from the park crazies. We took my friends then on the walk to Wilderness Lodge so they could check that out, so peaceful to step away for a bit from the parks.
Great SSE picture!
The one time I did Dopey, I remember starting to not feel so hot the day of the 10K, so I totally get what you're saying here. Dopey takes no prisoners!
Love your race pics from the 10k. I'm sorry you didn't like that one so much, it's a course that I just love. The SSE pic is especially great!
I am not happy with his what’s in my camera bag post. Like I needed to start digging in to what other lenses I could buy. Thankfully between running, winter time work load and trying to be around for my family, I don’t have a whole lot of time for food photography at the moment, so it’s keeping me in check on my spending.Tom Bricker is the inspiration behind all of my Disney photography. And by “inspiration” I mean I shamelessly try to recreate his best ideas. I love his photography and reviews.
Feel free. I’d be honored.
And the crowds are truly insane at times. It has made Wishes/HEA a stressful endeavor in the past. That’s part of the reason I love IllumiNations so much, it’s so much easier to get an unobstructed view.

I hope it was 12 total beignets not 12 orders of 3, but either way it would have been too many as my kids did not want them thus I at our order.
As your youngest is similar in age to my twins, I am curious how she did with O Canada! I too did it for the first time recently and found it odd and dated but ok, but I am not sure my kids would have tolerated it without some of Canada's Maple Popcorn (also, we go to actual canada often so I fear there would be sassy comments about already knowing that and non-Canadians in the attraction would not be so polite). I have also avoided Figment because I fear it would not go well with the kindergarten set.
I love those beignets! They had boozy beignets at the POFQ lounge that we indulged in one evening
[QUOTE="lhermiston, post: 60178957, member: 460822"I found the beignet station. You could get three for a snack credit.
Glad you warmed yourself up pre-5k and pre-10k
I may be biased toward my screen-namesake, but I love the pic of the girls with Minnie! I think we talked about Illuminations at HH and we didn't end up staying either, wise choice!
Boozy beignets?? How did I miss out on those??
Something to try for next time! Here's the review where I learned about them. Though our server was nice enough to let us try all three different types of alcohol. http://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2018/07/10/boozy-beignets-now-at-disney-world/
Beignets! YUM - I am sure your family was super happy!
Love the Boardwalk/BC/Yacht club area - it is my favorite place anywhere to run on vacation (when we are at Disney and it isn't a race weekend!). And being able to just walk into Epcot, or hop on a boat to HS, is awesome!
