Noshing In Wonderland #3: Cathay Circle Restaurant (Disney Dining Review), or: “And the world is like an apple, whirling silently in space…”

Well… it’s not like you go and spend five nights at Disneyland, and NOT stuff your face, right?

There were certainly plenty of options available: between Downtown Disney,…

Race Review: 2013 Disneyland Half Marathon (9/1/2013), or “All my heroes hit the highway, they don’t hang out here no more…”

The 8th Annual Disneyland Half Marathon took place in the early morning of September 1st, 2013, and it was a pretty significant race for me. First, it was the second leg of the Dumbo Double Dare challenge. I had run the first leg the previous day during the Disneyland 10K, which meant I only had…

Race Review: 2013 Disneyland 10K (8/31/2013), or: “Can you hear the violins playing your song…”

There’s something a little bit cool about doing an Inaugural race, isn’t there?

Virgin Airways will deliver Boots and I to LAX, and another car service will transport us in style and faux-luxury to the Disneyland Hotel. And the latest Run Disney adventure will begin with lots…

Disney Running logos for the Dumbo Double Dare challenge, or: “But technicolor pachyderms is really too much for me…”

So it’s about that time when I’m gearing up for my next Disney Run. Yup, Team Millheiser RULES!!! is packing up shop and heading out to Anaheim, CA for the Disneyland Half Marathon weekend coming up at the end of the month. If you recall, I ran the Half last year and absolutely had a…

My weekend — Miles, Monsters, Lulz, and Legends, or: “Here I am with eight more lives…”

A quick weekend recap of what was a pretty goshdarn swell time! 1. FRIDAY I’M IN LOVE (with not having to wake up early on Saturday) I decided to do my “Long Run” on Friday night — June 21, 2013. Summer solstice. Longest day of the year. I must have been out of my mind.…

Noshing in Wonderland #2: “The Wave” (Disney Dining review), or: “For you, the living, this mash was meant too…”

Welcome to the second installment of Noshing in Wonderland, my inconsistently updated and sporadically interesting take on dining around the various Disney properties. I know several of you are thinking to yourselves right now: “What the hell happened to the FIRST installment?” Good question. You’ve got a lot of nerve, mister. Truth of the matter…
