Good morning, runDisney all-stars and welcome to the first Tuesdays Sundays are for Disney of 2021! I'm hopeful these will serve as a weekly countdown to our joyous reunion for Marathon Weekend 2022.
I don't know how many people are new to the Marathon Weekend threads or new to Sundays are for Disney, so first a quick orientation/recap:
- What is Sundays are for Disney? Often abbreviated as SAFD, Sundays are for Disney are weekly questions - generally focused on all things Disney (parks, movies, characters, music, etc.), as well as running/runDisney. The questions are designed to allow us to get to know each other better, build excitement for Marathon Weekend, share our Disney fandom, exchange tips, information and best practices, and just have fun. It's not a debate and there are no right or wrong answers.
- Why Sundays? Isn't today Tuesday? What happens if I miss a day/week? SAFD came from an activity I started with my kids when they were younger. We reminisced about our favorite WDW memories through questions posed each Sunday. When I think about Disney, it's a bright Sunday morning on Main Street, USA with a day full of possibility ahead of you, hence Sundays are for Disney. If you don't respond to the question on Sunday or even that week, you can always catch up.
- Who asks the SAFD questions? Typically, I do. BUT!! I am always open to and encouraging suggestions. Feel free to DM me any potential SAFD questions/topics. I would really appreciate it.
Special request: does anyone know how to do online tournament brackets in which we vote on who wins each matchup? We did a best attractions tournament a couple years ago that was fun and it might be fun to do the same with restaurants, resorts, etc.
So, moving on to this week's Sundays are for Disney ... introductions! Tell us a little bit about yourself: your name and where you're from (if you feel comfortable), occupation, interests and hobbies, etc. Don't take a deep dive on your Disney and running stuff just yet, we'll tackle those in subsequent SAFDs.
My name is Lee and I'm from Iowa. Please wave the next time you fly over. I'm a single dad to three daughters and a journalist. I enjoy photography, baseball, dad jokes/puns, hot wings, tacos, the occasional beer and probably a few other things.
Have a safe and healthy week, everyone!
