RUNNER'S WORLD TRAINING TIPS: PREPARING FOR YOUR NIGHT RACE
Racing at night can be exhilarating and fun, but there are some things you should know when preparing for a night race that will enhance your experience. With the Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend less than a month away, here are some Runner's World night-running tips to make sure you are ready to go come race day!

Preparing for your night race:
  • Make sure to get at least three practice runs at night close to the Wine & Dine Half Marathon race start time of 10 p.m.
  • Practice training runs will allow you to carefully plan what type of fueling, hydration, and bathroom strategies you will need come race day, all of which can have a big impact on your finishing time.
  • Be sure to wear reflective gear during your training runs so drivers can see you, and be sure to carry proper ID and a cell phone with you while you are on the road.
  • Running in the dark can also change your sense of how your body is moving. You may feel like you’re running faster than you are – which is a great confidence boost!
With these tips in mind, we’ll look forward to seeing you cruise into the Finish Line Party after an exciting Wine & Dine Half Marathon.  And for more running advice from Runner's World, follow us on Facebook, where we will release videos over the coming weeks featuring the Chief Running Officer of Runner's World, Bart Yasso, answering questions asked by our Facebook Fans.

PIXAR Place Expansion Coming Soon??

I'm going against everything I believe in when it comes to rumors, specifically DISNEY rumors, but I find this one way too juicy (and likely accurate) to pass up. According to a few reputable WDW fan websites, it seems that the Studio Backlot Tour is poised to close down at Disney's Hollywood Studios. We know that since Oaken's Trading Post and Frozen Funland are moving out of the Soundstage 1 area, work should soon begin on the rumored (and much needed) third track for Toy Story Mania.  Why close the Backlot Tour? It appears that area is destined to be home to a rather extensive PIXAR Place expansion. According to WDW News Today, we will likely see smaller, flat-rides developed for Toy Story Playland at Disneyland Resort in Paris and Toy Story Land at Hong Kong Disneyland including RC Racer, Slinky Dog Zigzag Spin, and the Toy Soldier Parachute Drop. Attractions in this area don't take us much real estate as these rides would require, so WDW News Today specula...

The Art of Topiary Gardening from Walt Disney World Resort

Topiary gardening, the art of fashioning living plan into ornamental shapes, has been practiced for centuries. Found throughout the gardens of the Walt Disney World Resort are hundreds of topiary figures, ranging from traditional hedges and sheared trees to fanciful shapes and a whole menagerie of "chlorophyll" Disney characters. Types of Topiary Four different types of topiary at the Walt Disney World resort have developed out of our desire to put on an award-winning horticultural show. Free-form topiary and standard form topiary require your imagination and some sharp shears - the other two utilize a frame specially suited to their needs. A lightweight frame is used for shrub topiary, while sphagnum topiary require a much stronger frame specially designed to support the weight of the figure. Standard Form Topiary The world standard is used to describe a plant that is grown to a designated height and then encouraged to bush or form a "head" at t...
