In part two, we’ll share the new places we stayed, the park experiences, the after party that capped off the weekend, and our travel frazzle adventure home.

On today’s episode, we are traveling home from Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend, so we’re slithering into the spookiest season of the year — Halloween! But of course, we’re doing it Disney style. We’re imagining how some of our favorite Disney characters would celebrate — from their trick-or-treating routes and costumes to how they’d decorate and what candy they’d be sneaking from their treat bags.
So lace up your shoes, grab your candy bucket, and step into the magic with us!

On today’s episode, we’re joined by filmmaker and storyteller Andres Vargas, the creative force behind the newly released documentary called Crossing Your Line.
We chat about the inspiration behind the project, what it was like bringing reality of training for a marathon and the magic of race weekends to the screen, and some incredible stories that remind us why the runDisney community is so special. Andres gives us a behind-the-scenes look at how the film came together — from concept to finish line — and the moments that made it all worth it.
So lace up your shoes, and step into the magic with us!

On today’s episode, we’re putting our runner instincts to the test with a little game we’re calling Riskin' It for the Biscuit! Every runner has faced those pre-race temptations — from wearing something brand new on race day, to skipping your warm-up because the corrals are packed, or eating that questionable spicy dinner the night before.
We’ll be deciding which running gambles are worth the risk… and which ones could totally crumble under race-day pressure. Let’s see just how bold we’re feeling today.
So, lace up your shoes, decide what biscuits you’re riskin' it for, and step into the magic with us!

About Us
We're the Stride Sisters! From left to right, it's Hannah and Natalie. We're college friends and sorority sisters who have found a love of runDisney. As previous swimmers and lifeguards, we've made the leap from sea to land, just like Ariel.
Hannah is our engineer behind the podcast, both literally and figuratively since she got us together and is a literal engineer at her 9 to 5. She's also a travel agent and can help you plan the perfect adventure.
Natalie is the true OG; she's been running the longest, and she has roped in countless people to join her on this journey. She's even completed multiple Dopeys and the Coast to Coast Challenge!
