A Hollywood Ending

And lo, there shall come an ending.
But let's make it a Hollywood Studios ending, shall we?
For years, we've joked about the day when we'd be able to proudly walk around one of the Disney Parks boldly brandishing our golden Mickey medals, to yes, let everyone know that we were crazy enough to run a marathon in Florida in January.
And this was that day.  So there's this

And this - frankly, they ALL deserve a medal for the hustling they did to support us out there

Hats off to my two favorite ladies

Heather thought she was back in Hollywood with West Coast Heather

Someday, Andrew, someday

Andrew and his Cookies

Yeah, that's him

Andrew's reporting for duty, Heather is just looking adorable

My guess is these weren't the types of movies Barry is used to watching through his Viewmaster

Dinner at the Primetime Cafe means an old fashioned dinner, complete with the dinner rules your mother used to set.  And in Erin's case, that means eating her vegetables.

Sing it with me, everyone.  Give Peas a Chance

And for Jackie, she gets little Little Bunny Foo Foo, hopping through the forest with his carrots

Dinner with the Cooks and Scanlons means a birthday celebration for Erin.  Doesn't matter if it is or isn't, we celebrate nonetheless.

The birthday princess with her vegetable conscience, Loukili

Back at the hotel, hanging with Haley's favorite, Ursula.

Before we head for home, time to check in with some Cars buddies, starting with Tow Mater

K'chow!  It's Lightning McQueen!

One of these characters is fast.  The other just motors along

Peace out

Heather's plenty tired, and ready to head home

A farewell to Animation, and to this year's Disney trek

For any who are still slogging through this marathon expedition with us, thanks for tagging along.  Hope we gave you a flavor of what a whirlwind Disney marathon weekend looks like with the Cook and Scanlon families.

Who knows, we had SO much fun with all of it, maybe we'll see an encore performance in the sometime future.  Maybe next time, it'll be the Goofy Challenge, or even crazier, the Dopey Challenge?  

Till, then, keep on running down those dreams.  To Infinity and Beyond.
