Ever wonder what goes on in the minds of your favorite Rise and Run Podcast hosts? Episode 185 pulls back the curtain as we answer your specific questions about our individual journeys, preferences, and experiences.The conversation takes us deep into what makes each host unique in their approach to Disney running. Jack explains why ultramarathons and runDisney challenges scratch different itches despite both being "fun runs". Bob shares his transformative experience at the 2016 Wine and Dine Half Marathon when, at 62, he completed his first runDisney race in nearly three decades with a smile that never faded.We get personal as hosts reveal their favorite Disney characters and attractions, with Alysha struggling to choose between Dopey and Kevin from Up, and John confessing his lifelong admiration for Darth Vader. Greg takes us to Aulani, describing how the resort's authentic cultural elements create a uniquely meaningful Hawaiian experience.The conversation turns practical as we discuss our biggest race mistakes and the lessons they taught us. From hydration failures to loose shoes causing blisters, these hard-earned insights might save you from similar pitfalls. We also look ahead, contemplating where we'll be with runDisney in five to ten years.Perhaps most touching are the stories of magical race moments – Bob pushing his friend Woody through an entire half marathon while wearing a walking boot, and Jack's emotional experience as a Galloway pacer watching runners achieve personal records. These moments remind us why we keep coming back to the Disney parks time after time.Join us for this uniquely personal episode that strengthens the bonds of our Rise and Run family. Whether you're a longtime listener or joining us for the first time, you'll walk away feeling like you've just had coffee with friends who share your passion for running through the most magical places on earth.Rise and Run LinksRise and Run Podcast Facebook PageRise and Run Podcast InstagramRise and Run Podcast Website and ShopRise and Run PatreonPassport to RunRunningwithalysha Alysha's Run Coaching (Mention Rise And Run and get $10 off)Rise and Run Podcast Cruise Interest Form with Magic Bound Travel Send us a textSupport the showRise and Run Podcast is supported by our audience.

We spent the New Year holiday on Oahu at one of our favorite Disney destinations, the Aulani Resort in Ko Olina. There's so much to do at Aulani itself, and amazing activities for the whole family around the island. We did a UTV tour around Kualoa Ranch, visited Pearl Harbor with the USS Arizona Memorial and USS Missouri battleship tours, and spent a day at the Polynesian Cultural Center. Of course we also enjoyed Aulani itself, complete with an impressive fireworks display to ring in the new year - both official and unofficial. What a magical holiday!Here are some helpful links to all the amazing spots we talk about on this week's episode:Aulani Hawaii ResortKualoa Ranch | Hawaii's Premier Adventure DestinationPearl Harbor National Memorial (U.S. National Park Service)Pearl Harbor Memorial - USS Battleship Missouri MemorialPolynesian Cultural CenterMonkeypod KitchenRestaurant 604 - Fusion restaurant in Honolulu, HI----Adventures & Mousecapades is a passion project from Alicea & Nathan Novak - two Seattleites addicted to The Mouse.

Please support the show if you can by going to https://www.dlweekly.net/support/. Check out all of our current partners and exclusive discounts at https://www.dlweekly.net/promos. News: An annual tradition is bringing viewers to the parks again this year. The Disney Parks Magical Christmas Day Parade will air on ABC on Christmas Morning, and just an hour later on Disney+ and YouTube. Performances by Elton John, John Legend, Anika Noni Rose, and more will be featured. The performances will take place at Disneyland, Walt Disney World, Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, and Aulani. – https://disneyparksblog.com/disney-experiences/performers-songs-announced-for-disney-parks-magical-christmas-day-parade/ https://www.micechat.com/330375-disneyland-magic-keys-everything-you-need-to-know/ Magic Keyholders have some perks coming up in 2025. From January 7th through January 13th, a souvenir pin giveaway, and Disney character PhotoPass event will be at Disneyland. These items will be available at the Starcade in Tomorrowland. Starting January 8th, a Magic Key Stitch popcorn bucket will be available that comes with $2 refills through February 19th. A Disney PhotoPass magic shot will also be offered to Magic Keyholders starting on January 8th from dusk to park close. 50% off Lightning Lane Multi Pass is available from January 6th though January 31st. There are also some deals on stays at Disneyland Resort hotels. Check out the link in the show notes for all the details. – New Year, New Perks — Exclusive Popcorn Bucket and MORE Revealed for Disneyland Passholders | the disney food blog A new set of entrance gates have been unveiled at Disneyland. This is a project that has been progressing through versions for the last year at Disney California Adventure. It appears the resort has landed on a system that will work for them. The new gates allow guests to scan their own tickets and take a photo if one is not on file, allowing entrance with a valid park ticket and reservation. The new system should cut down on the amount of cast needed at the entrance to the parks and could result in faster entry for experienced guests. – Disneyland Update – Tiger Unleashed, Gate Update & Legal Fallout A missing element has returned to the Jungle Cruise. The temple that the Bengal Tiger was housed in has been restored. The previous show scene was removed after the elements and time had taken it's toll. After almost a year and considerable work, the restored scene looks great. – Disneyland Update – Tiger Unleashed, Gate Update & Legal Fallout Another update at Disneyland has happened at Pixie Hollow. The lagoon area has been under construction for months, with no clear explanation on what was being done. Now that the walls have come down, we know that a new fountain and water features were being installed. Little themed elements have returned to the area, and the painted blue lagoon looks refreshing and clean. The meet and greet area is still under refurbishment. – Disneyland Update – Tiger Unleashed, Gate Update & Legal Fallout Cast members who were working at the resort when Measure L was passed will be getting some back pay. Measure L is the Anaheim minimum wage law. Cast members who were not being paid the Anaheim minimum wage, which took place over five years(!) will get 100% of their back wages, including overtime, minus tax withholdings, along with 10% interest on those payments. – https://www.micechat.com/406206-disneyland-update-tiger-unleashed-gate-update-legal-fallout/ Discussion Topic: Disney Treasure Preview Cruise with ConciEARs Cassie AgundesPHOTOS: Tour the Disney Treasure's Tomorrow Tower and Royal Suites!

Robert Weis - Author, Speaker, and Former President of Walt Disney Imagineering Disney Night Live had the honor, interviewing Robert Weis. Bob is an author, speaker, and the Former President of Walt Disney Imagineering. Skipper Jay and I were giddy getting to speak with Bob, asking him questions about his illustrious career as a Disney Imagineer. With over forty years as an Imagineer, Bob worked on so many iconic projects we all know and love (Ep. 90/S3 from 02Nov2024). Bob has also written two books. Dream Chasing and Ghost Dog. So be sure to look for them and enjoy. Links are provided. https://www.amazon.com/Dream-Chasing-Decades-Imagineering-Editions/dp/1368101038 https://www.amazon.com/s?k=ghost+dog&i=stripbooks&crid=2AM62TYLKU6W&sprefix=ghost+dog%2Cstripbooks%2C116&ref=nb_sb_noss_1 More about Bob: Bob Weis is a dreamer who believes that if you can imagine it, you can do it. He was an Imagineer over a forty-year span, from 1980 to 2023. In those years, Bob worked at every Disney Park and resort around the world. He was president of Walt Disney Imagineering from 2016 to 2022, and a Disney Global Imagineering Ambassador after that. His passion for storytelling and creative collaboration, new technologies, and for the vibrancy of the guest experience has driven him through projects from Tokyo Disneyland (and later its accompanying park, Tokyo DisneySea) and Disney Hollywood Studios to the reinvention of Disney California Adventure and on to Shanghai Disneyland. Weis also led the creative development of the new Triton class of cruise ships, the first of which was the critically acclaimed Disney Wish. Outside of Disney, Weis has served as a consultant to the Kennedy Space Center, Smithsonian, New York City's Rockefeller Center, U. S. Navy, and Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry.
