The myth of the runDisney Balloon Ladies is busted today: they're just like us. Really. We interviewed Molly, Kathleen and Heather just before the Princess Half Marathon to talk about some tips you can use if you find yourself in the back of the pack. They answer some questions like: How can I become a Balloon Lady? Are you scary? Can you get swept? What happens if you pass me on the course? Here are a few posts that might be helpful to the BOP (back of the pack) runner or new runDisney participant: https://noguiltdisney.com/bursting-balloon-lady-bubble-1/ https://noguiltdisney.com/beginners-guide-to-rundisney/ https://noguiltdisney.com/rundisney-princess-half-marathon-everything-you-need-to-know/ https://noguiltdisney.com/rundisney-registration-tips/ https://noguiltdisney.com/real-bathrooms-on-the-rundisney-half-marathon-course/ Find the No-Guilt Disney Team –> No-Guilt Disney on YouTube –> No-Guilt Disney on Facebook Contact us by email at noguiltdisneypod@gmail.com or find us on socials: Patty noguiltdisney.com noguiltfangirl.com noguiltlife.com Theresa insightfulllife.com @gertiethedino on Twitter @accessibleinfluence on Instagram Jane @realmousewifewdw on Instagram @wisteriajaneofficial on Instagram Wisteria Jane on YouTube wisteriajaneofficial.com Music from https://filmmusic.io “Vivacity” by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com) License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)

Spoiler and forgive the clickbait headline: the runDisney Balloon Ladies are absolutely NOT villains! But it's spooky season and I have all things Halloween on the brain, so that's what I'm going with today. Meet the runDisney Balloon Ladies, Molly and Heather. This interview was recorded and shared on the No-Guilt Fangirls Podcast in 2020, but the information still holds up. And both ladies are still active Galloway pacers- and altogether great people.
