It’s January, we all know what that means! Time to tackle some resolutions!

If you are like me, you have put a list of goals or resolutions on a wall, the fridge or in your planner. And if you are like me…around the first week of February, you get distracted. Bye-bye resolution!

I have decided to go through some of these popular resolutions and help you do them…DISNEY style! Every Tuesday for the next 4 weeks I’ll drop a popular resolution and ideas to get you going!

Week 1:

In 2021 I will, Work On My Fitness!

There are plenty of ways to get yourself moving when visiting the parks. If you count your steps already, you know you can get anywhere from 8,000 – 20,000 in one day (yes….I’ve definitely done that many). But what about when you ARE NOT in the parks? I have a few pointers and ideas to get you started!

If You Are Staying At A Disney Resort

Disney Running Trails

Did you know there are over 15 different jogging paths on 17 resort properties across Walt Disney World Resort? If you are staying at any one of the resorts below, there are paths ranging from .08 to 4 miles long! And the views are magical! While there are some resorts not taking reservations on this list, I will still list them for your future reference!
