RunDisney Race Registration Tips
1. Log into your runDisney account ahead of time. Should be the same as your regular Disney log-in credentials. Make sure your profile info is correct.
2. Collect info needed for registration for yourself and anyone else you are registering:
✔️T-shirt size
✔️DOB
✔️Average pace (estimated finish time)
✔️Email address
✔️Home address
✔️Phone number
✔️Emergency contact name, phone # and relationship
✔️Payment information
3. Get ready to register on your device at least 10 minutes prior to registration time (usually 10 am EST).
4. You will be put in a queue and the wait can be over 1 hour. Do not go back or refresh. Pack your patience!
5. When it’s your turn, move as quickly as you can since registration isn’t confirmed until you actually check out and complete the purchase. (You can add proof of time and shop for merch later after registering)
✨️May the odds be in your favor!✨️

You can find this meet and greet just inside the entrance to DreamWorks Land in Universal Studios! There are certain show times and it does get a decent line! So you do want to check for the times in the app and get in line ahead of time! We got in line 10 minutes early and the line already formed! But it was well worth it! Donkey is hilarious 😆😅
✨️You can find the show times in the Universal Orlando app under "Shrek's Swamp Meet"✨️
Remember you can ❤️ this activity in the app and it will send you a push pin notification when it's close to time ⏲️ PS I love this feature of the app!

✨️LOCKERS✨️
A lot of the rides at Universal require you to put your belongings in a locker prior to riding!
This is completely different from Disney where you can take your bags on all rides (except Tron). So this took a little getting used to!
👉Every ride that you can't take your bags on will have a locker area near the entrance of the ride queue.
👉You will go to a locker area that has a green light, which indicates that there are available lockers in that section. You will then scan your park ticket and a locker will automatically pop open. You will place your bag in the locker and shut it. Keep your ticket with you because after getting off the ride, you will need to scan your ticket again at the same station for it to open!
👉Each person in your party with a ticket can get a locker.
✨️The small lockers are free to use during the duration of your ride✨️
However, there are larger lockers for a cost for each use.
The small lockers are short but deep (approximately 5 inches tall, 12 inches wide, and 17 inches deep)! You can fit a regular school backpack in there as long as it's not stuffed full, so be sure not to pack too much. Also, if you have a drink/water bottle with you, you will have to lay it flat on its side to fit in there. Make sure it's a bottle that doesn't leak or you need to dump out the liquids prior to placing it in the locker. I noticed every locker area had a liquid dumping station for this purpose!
Rides that you'll need to use the lockers for:
Universal Studios:
🎟Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit
🎟MEN IN BLACK Alien Attack
🎟Revenge of the Mummy
🎟Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts
Islands of Adventure:
🎟Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey
🎟Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure
🎟The Incredible Hulk Coaster
🎟Jurassic World VelociCoaster

The Oceaneers Club is the main kids club on the Disney Wish ship for kids ages 3-10 years old! 🛳
There are multiple themed sections throughout the Oceaneers Club that the kiddos can choose to play in!
This area is the Imagineering Lab!!!
My boys LOVED creating their rollercoaster 🎢 then "riding" it. All the rollercoaster templates are themed after coasters from the Disney theme parks!
They also have hands-on activities throughout the day! For example, Nolan made a little model that showed how they did the special effect of the dancing ballroom ghosts for the Haunted Mansion!
I visited the kids club during open house when we first got on the ship, but the hours are usually 9 am til about midnight!!!! ⏰
Follow for part 3! 😊

Get ready let's Set Sail! 🛳 🌊☀️
Sail away party on the Disney Wish!
I'd love to be setting off on another cruise RIGHT NOW, how about you???

We stayed at the Hyatt Regency Orlando Airport before our last Disney Cruise, and let me tell ya, it was so nice!
It's located INSIDE the Orlando MCO airport between Terminal A and B. It has a rooftop pool, restaurants, and a decent gym.
The rooms were WAY nicer than I was expecting for an airport hotel. They were modern, spacious, comfortable, and clean. My favorite thing in our room was the ceiling fan! 😄
Staying here is super convenient if you're coming down the night before a Disney Cruise because you can pre-book your DCL transportation to the port from this hotel. There is a DCL representative in the lobby the morning of embarkation where you can check in for your transportation and give them your tagged luggage which will be delivered to your stateroom on the ship, so you don't have to worry about it! While it is an extra cost, it just makes the whole experience seamless!

I visited the It's a Small World Nursery on the Disney Wish cruise ship during open house!
This area is for babies and toddlers 6 months to 3 years old.
Reservations are required and there is a fee for this service!

🌺Hyatt Regency Maui Resort And Spa 🌺
This resort would be great for families with little kids - their pool area was the best for littles IMO of the resorts I saw in Kaanapali 🐢
Turn the audio on for my little review I made for yall 🤪
🐧 Also, I heard they have penguins as well! 🤷♀️

🎃 Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party
-after hours special ticketed event at Magic Kingdom
Special offerings include:
-Boo to You parade (which is my favorite parade so far)
-special fireworks show hosted by Jack Skellington
-special characters that you can only meet at the party like all of the 7 Dwarfs, Disney characters in their Halloween costumes, villains
-trick or treating (grown ups can dress up too!)
-Hocus Pocus Villain Spectacular stage show
-lower wait times for rides, since this is a limited capacity event
Note: A regular ticket for Magic Kingdom will NOT get you into this party. This is a special ticketed event that you have to buy a separate ticket for! The party is from 7 pm til midnight; but you can get into Magic Kingdom as early as 4 pm! They will close Magic Kingdom to everyone else at 6 pm.
TIP: if you decide to go to this party during your Disney trip, I would suggest that you buy one day less of regular tickets and just have a rest day at your resort til it's time to go to the party 🥳
We should be hearing news soon from Disney about when MNSSHP tickets go on sale!!!!
You might be thinking who wants to do laundry on vacation??
It's usually something pretty easy to do and helps us pack less on our trips! We typically try to travel with only 1 or 2 checked bags for our family of 4 on a longer trip (a week or more).
We plan to do laundry about halfway through a trip - this means you can pack half the outfits!
Alot of hotels will have self service laundry rooms, including Disney resorts! Some hotels also offer laundry service where they pick up your laundry and do it for you then return it to your room within a day. In the US I find this service to be very expensive but some countries offer it at a very reasonable price!
Also I just hate having piles of sweaty stinky dirty clothes laying around our room 🤣 that's also why I put all our dirty clothes in a trash bag!

If you can't get a bibbity bobbity boutique appointment (or you're a grown up like me who's too old for BBB), you can still get pixie dusted for FREE at two locations in Magic Kingdom - Ser Mickey's and Bonjour Village Gifts! You just go in the store and see if there's a cast member available to pixie dust you! I decided to try it out for myself at Ser Mickey's! It was super easy - there were 1 or 2 families in line so it only took me a few minutes for the experience!
What is pixie dusting??? The cast member will ask you to make a wish and then they sprinkle pixie dust (glitter) into your hair with their magic wand while wishing for all your dreams to come true!

The best way to experience Christmas at Disney World is by going to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. It is a special ticketed event at Magic Kingdom on select days in Nov and Dec from 7 pm to 12 am.
The party offers special Christmas fireworks and a Christmas parade that are exclusive to this party! There are also special character meet and greets (including Santa!), stage shows and dance parties!
One of the most magical parts is when it snows on Main Street!
Tip: You can get into the party early at 4 pm before the party officially begins!
