New runDisney Enhancements Coming this Race Season

Our team at runDisney has been working hard to put together magical enhancements on our races based on runner's feedback. Today I get to share some upcoming enhancements to look forward to!

Starting with the 2016 Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend all event guides will be digital. They will be easily accessible from any device – computer, tablet and a smartphone. Our event guides will be able to provide the most up to date race weekend information. Our first digital event guide will be live soon on runDisney.com.

We have an exciting announcement for everyone participating in an upcoming runDisney 5K – you will now earn a "metal" medal for upcoming domestic races starting at Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend! To celebrate this announcement I'll be revealing three of the upcoming 5K race medals.

I'm excited to reveal the Disneyland 5K medal – a Disney classic duo: The Country Bears to celebrate the "Disney Duo" theme of the weekend.

Participants in Mickey's Holiday 5K will earn Mickey and Minnie kicking off the holiday season:

And lastly, my favorite upcoming 5K medal is the Captain America 5K shield for Super Heroes Half Marathon at Disneyland:

The Muppets Are Coming to Walt Disney World Resort This Fall in an All-New Show

Beginning this fall, the Muppets will be visiting Magic Kingdom Park, where they'll take part in an all-new live show, "The Muppets Present… Great Moments in American History."

Sam Eagle, the fiercely patriotic American eagle who is forever trying to set a high moral standard for the Muppets, will join Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, The Great Gonzo and James Jefferson, town crier of Liberty Square, as they gather outside The Hall of Presidents to present historical tales in hysterical fashion as only they can. From the midnight ride of Paul Revere to the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the Muppets appear throughout the day to share with Guests, their own unique take on the founding fathers and the birth of the United States of America.

Featuring an original song and plenty of wacky Muppets humor, "The Muppets Present… Great Moments in American History" will make its debut in October 2016.

Reservations Open July 29 for Re-Imagined Flying Fish on Disney’s BoardWalk at Walt Disney World Resort

After a major re-imagining, reservations open July 29 for dates beginning August 3 and beyond at Flying Fish on Disney's BoardWalk. The entire interior, including the on-stage kitchen, has been beautifully redesigned, along with an all-new menu crafted by Chef Tim Majoras, a veteran of the Flying Fish kitchen.

The seafood-centric menu features entirely sustainable fish and shellfish, and includes Chef Majoras' creations such as corn-crusted wild Gulf shrimp, wild Alaskan king salmon and plancha-seared Hokkaido scallops. For carnivores, there's Wagyu filet mignon, Kurobuta pork belly and bison striploin. General manager and sommelier Stig Jacobsen has crafted a new wine list with nearly 80 selections by the glass.

Here's a look at some of the dishes and the new menu. For reservations, visit DisneyWorld.com/dine or call 407-WDW-DINE.
