Summary

We are headed out to Portland, Oregon today to speak with Listener Sammy about her first Dopey Challenge from a couple of weeks ago down at Walt Disney World! Sammy was a member of USA Fencing who wanted to take on a new challenge, and found that in runDisney! We discuss her planning 4 costumes for 4 days (and the logistics of getting them all to Walt Disney World), organizing a group of 14, most of whom were not running the races, some great meals (and easy-to-get ARDs) for Marathon Weekend, and more! We also preview Sammy's thoughts on this weekend's upcoming Disneyland Half-Marathon events, as she will be headed there as well! We hope you can continue the conversation with us this week in the Be Our Guest Podcast Clubhouse at www.beourguestpodcast.com/clubhouse! Thank you so much for your support of our podcast!
