Pugaloo_Adventures and Grumble & Grind

As most of you know, my family and I have a slight obsession with Disney runs. Okay, fine — it’s an expensive habit . Between the costumes, shoes, travel, hotels, flights, park tickets, and registration fees, the magic can really add up. But don’t worry, I’ve learned a few tricks to keep our wallets from completely crying. Let’s break it down — Pugaloo style. 🐾✨ Widelux F7 at Disneyland 2025 🏅 When the Race Is Sold Out: Go the Charity Route So here’s the deal: if you’re s

Disney World Wind & Dine 2025 Our Next Adventure: Disney’s Wine & Dine Run Weekend Alright, friends — pack your ears and your running shoes because this momma is heading to Disney World!  That’s right, it’s time for the Wine & Dine Run Weekend , where we trade our everyday chaos for pixie dust, pasta, and pretending running is fun. We’re also diving into the Halloween season  at Disney, which means spooky snacks, villain vibes, and me sweating through my Haunted Mansion leggi

2025 Disneyland Villains Half Marathon Has anyone ever thought about doing a half-marathon? Better yet—a Disney RunDisney half marathon ?

If you’ve read my earlier blog, you know how we got into this crazy idea . If you read the follow-up, you’ll see how it all ended . But this post? Th

OH. MY. GOODNESS. The time has finally come, and I am beyond excited! Honestly, I don’t even care how long tonight’s drive is—I’m running on pure adrenaline (and probably caffeine). Let’s rewind to January when I casually asked my husband if he’d be willing to: Run a half marathon (when neither of us was in shape), and Run one at Walt Disney World in the same year… so we could earn that shiny Coast-to-Coast medal. His face? Priceless. Like, “WTF are you talking about?!” H

After spending a solid year working off decades  of “fun” (read: snacks, celebrations, and zero regrets), I decided it was time to make my grand return to the RunDisney universe. So naturally, I went all in—signed myself, my husband, and our daughter up for a half marathon at Disneyland and  the entire weekend of running events at Disney World’s Wine and Dine Half Marathon. Because why sign up for one punishing-yet-magical experience when you can double the blisters and medal

I’ve been wanting to start a blog for years . Like, actual  years. But I kept dragging my feet—mostly because I have too many passions and the internet kept shouting at me that I needed  a niche. Spoiler alert: I still don’t have one. So instead of overthinking it any longer, I’ve decided to just share what I love: Disney, fur babies, and our new “passion”—running. And I say “running” in the loosest sense possible. Let’s be real: I’m in it for the bling. If there’s a shiny me
