Last week, I posted about the 5 most overrated experiences at my favorite place on earth, the Walt Disney World Resort! Today, I want to take a slightly more positive, happy, and, dare I say, MAGICAL approach with my top 5 most UNDERRATED experiences! Some of them may be well known to you, but I …
Yes, I know this post will be controversial. I know that some of the things I think are over-rated will be your favorite thing IN THE ENTIRE DISNEY UNIVERSE and I want to apologize for that up front. But different strokes for different folks, and the bottom line is not EVERYTHING at Disney is as …
I didn’t become a runner until I was 38 years old. I was 39 when I ran my first half, 40 when I ran my first marathon, 45 when I ran my last one (AND I MEAN IT THIS TIME), and I ran my 21st half marathon just 2 weeks ago. Oh, and I already …
