We're going to chat about all things runDisney- the usual around here! Marathon Weekend goes on sale this week and the themes are A-DORBS. Be sure to listen if that's on your radar!  We also recapped a bit of the Disneyland Half Weekend and of course covered Princess Half as well.  https://noguiltdisney.com/rundisney-registration-tips/   Find the No-Guilt Disney Team –>  No-Guilt Disney on YouTube...

Runners heading to Disney World for Princess Half Weekend: check your calendar! You get a festival, you get a festival, we all get a festival this year!  Usually the PHM misses out on both Flower and Garden and The Festival of the Arts, but this year, the timing is perfect.  Theresa just spent some time at WDW and has the rundown of the festival must dos. Plus we have confirmed dates to say good b...

You know you love a good runDisney episode, and we have one for you today.  Jane and Patty talk about the races, the timing chip drama, and the fact that we have gone 3/3 races without Duffy on the course. (recorded before the Marathon so who knows if that dude will pop up!)  Happy 2025, Disney fans- can't wait to see you at the races this year!  https://noguiltmagic.com https://noguiltdisney.com/...

No, but you should see your faces....  We're recapping the kickoff to the runDisney race season, the Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend.  Jane and Patty ran the 5 and 10K, Theresa ran the 5K and her first Half.  Big takeaways: MORE MUPPET RACES ARE NEEDED. runDisney, Josh D'Amaro, are you listening? You should! Find the No-Guilt Disney Team –>  No-Guilt Disney on YouTube –>  No-Guilt Disney on Fa...

This is an episode from the No-Guilt Fangirls podcast vault that we recorded in 2019. Except for talking a bit about the old course, the info is still relevant, however.  Meet a Perfect Wine & Dine Runner, Megan!  What does that mean? It means she runs the Wine & Dine Half Marathon every year at Walt Disney World—even the unfortunate weather years. Megan tells all today and explains why she keeps...

Theresa is back this week and she's got all the details about D23 Expo. Including the fact that it's no longer called D23 Expo (insert eye roll) We're discussing our feelings on the new parks news and what we think will work and where we hope it gets built. Shout out to Josh D'Amaro cause we know he listens- we have suggestions, bestie!  https://noguiltdisney.com/2025-walt-disney-world-marathon-co...

Disneyland Halloween is our favorite- and when runDisney added the Halloween Half Marathon Weekend, we knew we had to be there! Jane and Patty recap the Oogie Boogie Bash and the expo and races in this weeks episode.  Join us (and our slight ADHD) for this week's episode filled with happiness, fun and magic.   

It's THAT time of year--- way too early for Halloween for normal people but way too late for those of us who love Disney Hallowen 365.  Jane and Patty are recapping Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Walt Disney World and talk a little bit about the Disneyland Halloween Half Marathon coming up next week.  Posts that might be helpful for Halloween Planning: https://noguiltdisney.com/mickeys-n...

We gotta talk about it... Changes are coming and we of course have some thoughts. Also, why didn't Disney World give Rock N Roller Coaster a nice Taylor Swift/Muppets Mayhem overlay?  (Go ahead and listen to the State of the Pod episode if it feels like its been a hot minute- cause it has!) I forgot to give a heads up where we planned to add the advertising, so here's for the skippers who want to...

Kinda feels like people blame Taylor Swift for everything these days, but in our case, it's somewhat true. As true fangirls, we make no apologies. But we do feel like we owe an explanation (because unlike Rep TV, there will be one!)  So here it is. We took a long, extended break from the podcast for multiple reasons, and yes, one of them was legit Taylor Swift. Health issues, life traumas, and a l...

Joining Patty today are Alicia and Hope, two runDisney Princess Half Marathon runners and podcast listeners! We're talking about why we didn't love the 5K and why both ladies loved the 10K. Alicia also gives the half marathon some high praise. TLDL: might want to consider training for the longer races if you are looking for more space to run and great character ops! A Princess first (?)--- rave re...

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? H...

We love the runDisney community for many reasons, but especially for how they come together to support each other.  Balloon Lady Heather wanted to share her appreciation for the community- here she shares a bit about what her family has been through and how the runDisney community supported her.  To read more: https://www.facebook.com/groups/noguiltdisney/posts/2063577700693968/ To donate to OurLe...

runDisney at Disneyland is baaaaack!  And you know that made two Disneyland fangirls very happy.  This is a long one but we're talking about all the locations and the courses that you need to know before you runDisney at Disneyland.  With the Halloween Half Marathon registration just around the corner, if you are on the fence, this might help you understnad what to expect and/or decide if it's not...

What happens when it rains during a runDisney race? Does it ever get canceled? Welp... We're going to talk about the 2024 Marathon Weekend Half marathon that did not get canceled but did not happen as it should have. The course was shortened, and Theresa had a less-than-ideal experience. But was it still fun? Of course! It's runDisney!  Find the No-Guilt Disney Team –>  No-Guilt Disney on YouTube...

We're checking in before TWO of the biggest runDisney weekends of the year!  The Walt Disney World Marathon and the Disneyland Half Marathon are happening in the first half of January 2024.  We're talking some basic reminders for the race weekends, some tips and details for expo, and we have a "newbie" running her first half marathon: Theresa!  She's talking about why she's running and who she's r...

We're whipping out spreadsheets and getting nerdy today! Jane decided to track her 2023 Disney Parks stats as a local and tourist this year, inspired by Spotify Wrapped. How many trips to the parks did she make? How many attractions did she ride? What was her most visited attraction? Where did she eat most often? And why isn't there an app for this already?! Join us as we talk about what her 2023...

By now, you have probably heard about Disney's Hollywood Studio's Jollywood Nights, the newest  Disney World Christmas Party hard ticket event. And most of the news after the first party was dire. "Worst Disney experience EVER" "Disaster" "Cancel and refund ALL of it!" were thrown with whole chests all over the internet. We were there on night 1- and it was absolutely not the dumpster fire people...

Welcome to the 2023-2024 runDisney season!  First up: Wine and Dine Half Marathon weekend.  We've got new runDisney color scheme and logos at the expo, new courses, and new policies. And we're going to talk about it all.  Jane and Patty ran the 5K and have some feedback!  If this was your first runDisney event and you have questions, be sure to join us in the No-Guilt Disney Facebook group.    Fin...

It's HAPPENING!  And you know we had to jump on the mics to talk all about it.  The "It" is our wildest dreams coming true: a runDisney Halloween themed race weekend.  We are sat and we are here for it.  Links discussed in the episode that might be helpful to you:  runDisney Race Calendar And Registration Dates- 2024-2025 Season Disneyland Hotel Room Tour: Why Runners Love This Resort! runDisney A...

There's a new half marathon course, some new details about corrals, and a whole new AWD (Athletes With Disabilities) process. Then we cover some price increases, logistics with park hopping and trams, and some exciting Jollywood Nights party info. This is the Fall 2023 Disney News episode! Some posts ment...

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 ar...

If you've listened to any of our episodes before, you know we're team #Halloween365 here.  Or at least, Jane is- and she's pulled Patty right along with her! (We're still working on Theresa) This episode is a review of the Oogie Boogie Bash, the specially ticketed Halloween party at Disneyland, PLUS a compare and contrast between Disney World and Disneyland Halloween vibes.  If you have Halloween...

We're talking all things Disney Parks news and Destination D23 on this weeks podcast episode.  Theresa was there and had all the good Dis-Nerdy things to say about the event, plus a ton of parks news you may have missed. Want to know the difference between D23 Expo and Destination D23? We cover it. And also the new branding of D23 Expo--- D23, The Ultimate Fan Experience. But, alas, you know we'll...
