It's runDisney race season! Can you tell Peter is excited? Today he is running the Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend 5K and meeting up with some friends along the way. The weather, the characters, the World Showcase... everything is fantastic! In the evening we check out the gingerbread house at the Grand Floridian. Feeling warm and fuzzy and exhausted all at the same time!
Hi! We are Peter, Sarah, James, and Theodore Brookhart and we live in Orlando, Florida. Our cute little puppy’s name is Eve. Together we strive to find the extraordinary in ordinary life.
Run this new weekend
Come on guys. Let's have some fun. We got the food and wine 5k today
It's 2 53 in the morning
Walking up to go through security
But I'm hoping to find some run Disney friends, you know, my friends are at home still resting and sleeping
They're gonna come with me on Sunday
Today and tomorrow though 5k 5k 10k. I'll hold on the fort for all the brokards, but
It's the beginning of the run Disney season
Well, I'm excited. There's the first finish line and look who's already at the finish line
We're gonna see what characters are are today my first run Disney friends and I'm confused
I'll talk later about why I'm confused about this finish line
Line up, but it's a little confusing
It's big today
I've got figment Lumiere and bow. We got Mad Hatter. Oh, it's just a statue. What we want the real figment
Look at all the runners
Look at all the happy happy runners this morning. It's like 430
I'm an a crow for 5k
gonna maneuver my way towards
The front
This is the holding zone the corral will move our corral soon probably in like 15 minutes
Over there. So I'm gonna try to get it kind of close here and then I'll try to wiggle my way as we're moving
closer to the front
Can't wait to be in World Showcase. I've got 10 minutes till showtime
Oh
Yeah, we're very very late for an important date best parts about to happen getting in the world showcase
All right best place to run in the whole world
All right first character of the showcase
Duffy bear
Don't only see him
Who else is out today? Not a lot of characters so far
But still very gorgeous place to be running at 5 in the morning gotta appreciate this view
And you can see the smoke from the start line
Booyah, baby
Okay, okay
Okay, I see you
Love it
Love it. Love it. Love it
Why not right before the two-mile mark take a little break immediately on stitch
What a view hopefully this time next year is this I'll be open
Alright we're doing something different that I didn't realize until this morning for the finish
Usually you hit the last mile marker around this corner
So like this would be right where we hit three, but we don't everyone's taking that right and we have a pretty
Long like almost third of a mile
straight shot to the finish
It's a bit different and it's shifted further to the right or further
South or north then my near half decade of running around Disney
The finish line has always been the one way but it's slightly shifted. So let's go see how this goes this long
Finish correct. So usually you go that way
Today we're going straight. See here's mile three
And we continue straight to the finish
Here we go, love it
Love it. Love it. Love it
This is what I think is a crazy thing about the 5k is there's so many runners and the way they stagger it
I'm a modest runner I would say
And like there's still a DS. There's probably at least three or four waves
You know and I'd say even five or six looking at that of waves of runners to still start
They make us walk so far. I think I'm just gonna go back to the finish
Try to go see some friends finish
Two thousand years later
The Polynesian going to meet up with the Earhart's to go see Christmas trees Oh Christmas
Sometimes it's nice just to hang out on the couch and watch
some Disney jr.
in the lobby of the
The lack of sleep is catching up with me guys
Come on you little spider monkey
Look at that
What a welcoming Wes playing beautiful piano with a gingerbread house
It's not open is it?
I think they just constructed it
There's just something right about the world
This reminds like this gives me the same vibes of like State Street in Chicago at the holidays like this gives me a similar
warm and fuzzy feeling
Yeah, I'm tired
Sure, I am a complex human
We're very into Cinderella these days
Obviously, this is what we're here for that little chocolate fitness here all the time, but they're not quite open yet
to buy shingles and things but
Still smell it and still look at it. I
See that bird up there
Wow
This birds fighting the wind
So is Jamesy
Now this is a beautiful evening
It's just like gorgeous out beautiful temperatures
The walkway between Grand Florida and Polynesia is down
So the options are with our big stroller to take the monorail all the way around
Or I don't know if it's the wind or not, but they've got some of the big boats out to go between
We're living off one hour of sleep, caffeine and green
Do you Teddy?
Woah, woah, woah
PSA
This is we we've known this we probably have said this before if you ever get water at the fountain drinks at the Polynesian
Guaranteed to be fire water
We have a whole big cup of it even their eyes
Are you ready to run again tomorrow? Did you show your medal? Yeah, I just hope to get more sleep. It's good to be home
We know what our goals are
We know what we hope to accomplish and believe me. It's the most exciting and challenging assignment
We've ever tackled at Walt Disney Productions
