Episode 5: Why We Run Disney

Over the last 22 years, the Walt Disney World and runDisney events have gone from very humble beginnings to some of the best distance races on the entire planet. On this episode of the Ear To There Podcast, I’m joined by fellow runDisney race participants and Disney fans Patty Holliday, Nancy Cullen, Chris Yansick and Alyson Miller. We talk about our race experiences, running through the Disney theme parks, how to prepare for your first ever Disney race, and much more!

If you are thinking about signing up for a runDisney event in the future, whether it’s your first 5k or you’re a Dopey Challenge regular, I think you’ll find something on this podcast that you’ll really enjoy! So tie your running shoes up tight, don’t forget to pack your GU, and enjoy this week’s episode of the Ear To There Podcast!

About Phil Gramlich

I was hit with the Walt Disney World bug at the age of 13. I took my first trip with my family to the Most Magical Place on Earth and it hit me. “I want to work here someday,” I told my parents. Six years later I was a Cast Member at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, making magic for guests each and every day.

I started Ear To There Travel because I wanted to bring a little bit of that Disney magic home to those who were in the planning stages of trips to Disney destinations. I want to make it fun, not intimidating or frustrating! Not only am I a former Walt Disney World Cast Member and Universal Orlando Team Member, but I have what many call an obsession with all things Disney. I’d call it more of a hobby, or a passion…okay, I admit it, it’s an obsession! I’ve done it all: Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruises, Adventures By Disney, & more!

As I say on my podcast, it’s my job to take away all of that stress, all of that anxiety, and all of that time that it takes to book a Disney trip (because it takes an awful lot of time), so you can focus on the fun things like having a fantastic time with your family and friends and enjoying the magic!
