RUN

We have just returned from the 2023 Springtime Surprise Toy Story Ten-Miler in Orlando, Florida at Walt Disney World Resort.  Even though we did not participate in the challenge, these miles were challenging.  We discuss our experience at the Expo, pre-race rituals, pre-race party, the race itself, and the post-race celebration.  

EAT and DRINK:  The 2023 Epcot Flower and Garden Festival  

The Citrus Blossom is one of our favorites so far as we work our way around the 2023 Epcot Flower and Garden Festival.  We visited it on opening weekend of the festival, which runs through July this year!  We give you our hot takes as we sampled some Orange Bird-Inspired food and beer at this air-conditioned booth. 

THAT’S A WRAP!
