D23 Expo - The Ultimate Disney Fan Event

The largest Disney fan event in the world, D23 Expo celebrates all the wonderful worlds of The Walt Disney Company under one roof, including the best of Disney, Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars across film, television, theme parks, products, online, music, live entertainment, and more. D23 Expo 2019 marks the sixth biennial Expo held in Anaheim.

I will be sharing a booth again this year with Lynn and Ken from The Sweep Spot Podcast and Joshua author of Discovering the Magic Kingdom. We will all be selling our books and signing any of our books that you bring in.

The Expo is so much fun meeting all the great fellow Disney fans. And the four of us have a great time meeting all of you and just generally having fun together.

What is the D23 Expo. Here's a quote from their website:

"All the magic and excitement of the past, present, and future of Disney entertainment comes together under one roof when D23: The Official Disney Fan Club presents D23 Expo.

Since 2009, the bi-annual D23 Expo has celebrated all the magic, wonder, and adventure of Disney at this remarkable gathering created especially for you, our most passionate and loyal fans. D23 Expo presents three full days of “inside-the-magic” experiences you won’t find anywhere else, including exclusive sneak peeks at upcoming films from The Walt Disney Studios, dazzling celebrity appearances, unforgettable presentations given by Disney luminaries, a look at what’s coming from Disney Parks and Resorts and Walt Disney Imagineering, the Disney Legends ceremony, and the Treasures of the Walt Disney Archives exhibition, which spotlights crown jewels from Disney’s timeless legacy.

No matter what part of Disney stirs memories or warms your heart, you will discover something magical at D23 Expo—the ultimate Disney fan event."

Run Disney Star Wars Virtual Half Marathon 2020

The Run Disney races are some of my favorite . The Run Disney website describes the race as:

"Even if you live in a galaxy far, far away, you can participate in our Star Wars Virtual Half Marathon—run on a treadmill, around your neighborhood or any course of your choosing. Whether you break up your 13.1 miles over multiple days or run it all at once, you'll earn a collectible Star Wars-themed medal."

"Send your race journey into hyperspace by also participating in the Star Wars Rival Run Half Marathon at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida! Complete both races and earn the coveted runDisney Kessel Run Challenge medal."

The virtual race can be run anywhere and even broken up into pieces. Last year, I ran three days in a row around Disneyland to complete my challenge. The last day was on the Sunday that the original Star Wars Half Marathon would have taken place. Although I miss the Disneyland Half Marathons, I had a great time doing my runs around the resort. The picture above is from the final run I took. You have 3 months to complete your challenge. You have two options with this race. You can just run the virtual half and get the medal for that event, or you can combine with with the Star Wars Rival Half Marathon at Walt Disney World in April to get and additional Kessel run medal.

Be sure to also check out the Run Disney Star Wars Rival Weekend atWalt Disney World in April. If you sign up for the Kessel Run Virtual Half, you not only get your virtual Half Marathon Medal, but you will be eligible to get the Kessel Run medal when you complete the Rivals Half Marathon.

Run Disney Walt Disney World Star Wars Rivals Weekend 2020

The Run Disney races are some of my favorite and the Walt Disney World Star Wars Rivals Weekend 2020 is my favorite.  Run Disney says,

"It’s an epic Star Wars weekend featuring rivalries from the galactic saga. Meet some of your favorite Star Wars Characters, pose for photos and earn collectible themed medals! Become part of an immersive event and experience Star Wars in a whole new way. Join us—and may the Force be with you!"

The Run Disney races are a unique blend of running, fitness, fun, and encouragement. The goal is to get people moving and they due. With their encouragement, fitness advise and unique Disney blend of entertainment, you have to have fun participating in one of their event. I especially like the fact that the course is not just a cold, long run. During the course you run through Disney landscapes, have Cast members and the public cheering you on, Disney character photo opportunities, and many more things to keep your mind entertained. Whether it is a 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, or full marathon, the race you run will be one of the most enjoyable running experiences.

Be sure to also check out the Star Wars Virtual Half Marathon that replaced the Disneyland race. If you sign up for the Kessel Run Virtual Half, you not only get your virtual Half Marathon Medal, but you will be eligible to get the Kessel Run medal when you complete the Rivals Half Marathon.
