October 8, 2017 – Dateline: Zagreb, Flashback: Disneyland Paris

7:34 AM – T-minus 2 hours, 26 minutes until the Zagreb Marathon

It’s cold this morning. Mid 40s. Same as yesterday. But by the race start time of 10 AM, it should be warming up and by noon if the sun is out it’ll be a very pleasant 60ish. Should be great running weather… if the rain stays away. It had been a big, bright sun on my weather app last night. Now there’s a 30-40% chance of rain until 11 AM. I don’t mind running in the rain but I dislike standing around in it waiting to run. We’ll see what happens here in a few hours.

In the meantime, I thought I’d post a few images from the Disneyland Paris PhotoPass. It took several emails and working through a few bugs on their website but I was finally able to get the pics. I’ll break them into two categories — the parks and the races en masse.

THE PARKS:

Riding the rides:

Meeting THE Mouse:

Meeting a French Vader.

In Paris, sometimes he’s known as “Dingo.”  Other times, he’s just “Goofy.”  I don’t understand when he’s one and when he’s the other.

THE RACES: a 5K, 10K, and a Half-Marathon, all run with, ahem, character.
