Pack your running shoes and Mickey ears—it's time to prepare for the upcoming Run Disney race season! This episode dives into all the exciting events on the horizon, with just three weeks until the Disneyland Halloween Half Marathon Weekend and ten weeks until Wine and Dine.

Magic Bound Travel's Brad and Maggie join us to share valuable insights about upcoming Disney parks events, including the opening of the new Beacon Barrel lounge, available Eat to the Beat concerts, and Halloween festivities. But the highlight of our conversation revolves around the first-ever Rise and Run Podcast Cruise, setting sail April 20-24, 2025, on Royal Caribbean's Utopia of the Seas. With 99 "happy haunts" already booked, we discuss cabin availability, onboard activities, and transportation options to and from the port. This celebration cruise offers the perfect way to cap off your Run Disney season with fellow podcast listeners and running enthusiasts.

What makes a perfect runDisney race weekend resort? Our hosts and travel experts engage in a lively debate, ultimately crowning Beach Club as their top pick, followed by Pop Century, Port Orleans French Quarter, Polynesian, and Coronado Springs. Each resort offers unique advantages for runners, from hot tubs for recovery to easy transportation to the starting line.

The spotlight shines on Melissa, who conquered her first 50K ultra marathon through mud, rain, and challenging trails. Her inspiring story of perseverance reminds us why we push ourselves beyond comfortable limits. Plus, our weekly race reports showcase accomplishments from across the globe, celebrating runners of all levels.

Whether you're planning your next Disney race weekend, considering joining us on the podcast cruise, or simply seeking motivation for your training, this episode delivers practical advice and heartfelt inspiration. Lace up your shoes and join our community as we rise and run together!
