Calling all fans of Disney, Running, or Inquiring Minds about how much protein to eat. We have the episode for you.  You'll hear all about the MAJOR pixie dust my son William received at Typhoon Lagoon, the best places to run at Disney World, where to eat at DW, what rides you must ride, and the resorts my husband Robert and I recommend.  Becky Kotsifas is back to tell us about her third half marathon this year at Disney, the Disneyland Half Marathon, and compares it to other runDisney races she has run.  Serena Marie, RD,  talks all things protein and then Serena and I discuss our training for the Chicago, NYC, and Philadelphia Marathons. Want to know about how you too can have the gift of running be a part of your lifestyle? Head over to therunninglifestyle.com/join and you'll receive the 11 Strategies to Live the Running Lifestyle. Special thank you to Jeff Galloway and ElliptiGo for getting me ready to run the Chicago, NYC, and Philadelphia Marathons.  ElliptiGo is like a an elliptical machine/bike that you ride outside. It gives you a great runners high (and I mean HIGH) and lets you “run” without the impact! William Gormley ·         How to experience the ultimate pixie dust at Disney World, which is opening a park.  William Gormley shares with you how he was “Big Kahuna” and what that means.  And how you can be Big Kahuna someday. Robert Gormley ·         What resorts to stay at and running around the Boardwalk, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom (don't do it!), and Port Orleans Riverside and Port Orleans French Quarter ·         New restaurants we tried  ·         The restaurant which is the best value when it comes to Crab Legs ·         The number one tip when eating at Be Our Gust ·         Favorite restaurants we go to every time ·         What dessert NOT TO MISS at Boma ·         What rides not to miss at the parks ·         What great tips we received from The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World by Bob Sehlinger and Len Testa. The big takeaways when it comes to the interviews with William and Robert Gormley is that you need to get to a park early, if you want to be able to open it.  We strongly recommend running at the Port Orleans Riverside and Port Orleans French Quarter Resorts.   Some restaurants not to miss are Cape May Cafe, Be Our Guest, Boma, Sanaa, California Grill, Wolf Gang Puck Express, and Narcoose's. Our favorite rides include Kilimanjaro Safari, Expedition Everest, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Splash Mountain, Toy Story Midway Mania, Soarin, and Test Track. We booked directly with Disney World this trip.   When we don't go through the Disney World Reservations to book our trip, we have been very happy and satisfied with David's Vacation Club Rentals.  Through David's service, we have been able to pay a moderate hotel's price, but stay at Deluxe Resorts including Bay Lake Tower, Beach Club, Animal Kingdom Kidani Village (with a savannah view) and the Boardwalk Resort.  Every time we have requested a certain type of room, David's team has been able to come through for us (thank you!). Becky Kotsifas  ·         Discusses her year of Run Disney - Princess Half, Tinkerbell Half, Disneyland Half, and Wine and Dine Half ·         The special medals Becky has received for running multiple races ·         Celebrating the 10 year Anniversary of runDisney ·         Highlights of the Disneyland Half Marathon ·         The signs along the course ·         The breakdown of men vs. women in the Disneyland Half ·         Why the Wine and Dine Half Marathon is a favorite among many people Serena Marie, RD,  ·         Why you need protein even if you're not lifting a lot of weights ·         Serena's explanation of how much protein a runner needs & how to do it ·         How to estimate your protein needs depending on your running distance and goals ·         How to estimate a portion of protein if you are a man or woman ·         Where to go for a list grams of protein in foods ·         What are great sources of protein   The big take-aways from our talk with Serena are to know how much protein you need based on your goals, weight, and distance.  If you're training for for 5ks/10ks or recreational running aim for ~1 gram of protein per kilogram.  If you're training for  marathons should aim for ~1.2-1.4 gm/kg protein. If you're training for endurance events in conjunction to heavy strength training regimen ideally aim for ~1.6-1.7 gm/kg. Go to https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educational/lose_wt/eat/fd_exch.htm (which is actually a site through the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, but refers to the American Dietetic Association food exchanges) to get a list of how much protein is in a serving. You can estimate protein by looking at your palm.  If you're a woman, your palm can be estimated to be a 4-5 ounce portion of high biological value protein (meat, fish, eggs). If you're a man, your palm will represent 5-6 ounces of high biological value protein. Each ounce of animal protein has 6 grams of protein.   Please say a prayer, send positive intentions, that Serena's knee gets better. Another way to support our efforts is to donate to Team Kari and Serena Run NYC and Chicago for Action for Healthy Kids.  Every dollar makes a difference in helping a child eat healthier foods and move their bodies. Next week we're going to hear from Dr. Vinny Kripalu, MD, an internist who practices an integrated medical approach and is a fellow marathoner.  Please subscribe to the podcast through iTunes, Stitcher, or whatever podcast app you use.  You never know when a surprise episode comes up and by subscribing, you won't miss it. :-)    

Intro: Who wants to wait in lines? Not me. If you do your research, you won’t wait in lines no more.   Put on your commando gear cousins cause we’re going Geekin’ On Walt Disney World. In episode 48, we chat with Bob Sehlinger who’s the founder of the Unofficial Guides and we go deep into the science that goes into the touring plans that highlight the books and website. Listen to the end because we have a giveaway. Lindsay. We’re really going to get Geeky tonight.  After all, we are the Geekin’ On Walt Disney World podcast. We’ve always been commando when it comes to touring the Disney Parks. Tonight, we have THE expert on the subject of the best ways to tour the parks to get the most out of your visit and cut down wait times. The founder of the Unofficial Guides,  Bob Sehlinger. We are big fans of the book and we used the book for our research of our first trip. We buy the book every year. We signed up for the website touringplans.com with the book purchase discount.  The book is the bible of Disney World and it could take a whole year to read cover to cover. Questions: Lindsay: What’s your history with Disney World? Curtis: Do you still vacation at Disney World? How often do you go? Lindsay: When was the first Unofficial Guide published?  How has it evolved and changed over the years? Curtis: If you’ve never been to Disney World before, I believe most people want to see as much as they possibly can. They may be disappointed in their experience if the spend too much time waiting in lines. Where would you rank this issue as a factor for guests enjoying their trip? Lindsay: What are some of the major factors that contribute to wait times in the parks? Lindsay: Cover of book claims you can learn how to cut waits in line by 4 hours per day.  Can you share with us some strategies and how did you come up with the 4 hour number? Curtis: How have you improved your model over the years? Lindsay: A touring plan is a complex issue. For example, for just 3 attractions, there are 6 combinations. If you add all attractions at Magic Kingdom, How many possible touring plans are there for Magic Kingdom? Curtis: Can you explain what the traveling-salesman problem? Lindsay: What’s an algorithm? Lindsay: What’s the research and what types of data go into the touring plan calculations? Who does the research? Curtis: How good are the new touring plans in the Unofficial Guide? Lindsay: How has the fast pass plus system impacted the touring plans? Curtis: I’ve commented that the new Fantasyland addition to Magic Kingdom has greatly extended the time you need to spend in the park.  I think it adds a half day or four hours. How has the edition of New Fantasyland impacted the Magic Kingdom touring plan? Lindsay: Can you really see it all in a one week vacation? Curtis: Is there a time when the parks are not crowded any more? Lisa Green: How difficult is it to provide tips for all ages & life stages? That’s one of the things I appreciate most about the books (I have several editions). Tony McDaniel: What is your opinion of the future of Animal Kingdom in regards to the plans to keep the park open later with the Rivers of Light show, “Avatar Land”, etc.? Will it be a well received or panned by fans and critics? Review Contemporary and Bay Lake Tower comments from book page 153. Conclude You too can be a guest on our show.
