Orlando Runner Repeats as Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Winner
Ian Bordelon needs no convincing that Walt Disney World Resort is truly The Most Magical Place on Earth. The local Orlando runner, residing just minutes from the Disney resort, once again showcased his prowess by clinching victory at the Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon for the second consecutive year.
Making the short drive to EPCOT on Sunday, Bordelon dominated the competition, crossing the finish line nearly two minutes ahead of the closest contender. His impressive winning time of 1:11:38 falls only about a minute short of the race record set by Jason Simpson in 2016.
(Nov. 5, 2023) Renee Kearns of Littleton, Colo. wins the 2023 Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon women’s division with a time of 1:23:55. Kearns’ husband, Ryan Kearns, placed second in the men’s division at Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. (Harrison Cooney, photographer)
“Yeah, it’s a blast,’’ Bordelon said of racing at Disney. “You train really hard. And so to come to an event like this where you can kind of relax a little bit and let loose and have a little bit of fun with all the other runners here, it’s a blast and a blessing to be able to finish first.’’
(Harrison Cooney, photographer)
For the top female finisher, Renee Kearns, the 13.1-mile race was a family affair. Not only was she the first woman to cross the finish line (1:23:55), but her husband, Ryan Kearns (1:13:12), finished second among the men. Plus, they brought along their toddler son with them from their Littleton, Colorado home, making this his first trip to Walt Disney World. Now, they plan to spend Monday celebrating her win on her husband’s birthday.
“It feels amazing,’’ Kearns said of winning with her family along for the ride. “It’s just good feelings all around.’’
Kearns said after the race that she didn’t come to Disney expecting to win because, frankly, she had spent the last couple of days having a ball in the parks, experiencing attraction after attraction.
“We’ve been hitting the parks hard this week, so the legs are a little sore,’’ Kearns said. “But I had a good feeling around mile 4 that it was a potential for me.’’

In the wheelchair division, Heather Sealover from Bossier City, Louisiana finished first with a time of 1:02:33, while Nicholas McCoy of Boerne, Texas was the first male finisher at 1:10:34.
Sunday’s RunDisney half marathon was themed around the Disney animated film “Encanto.’’ The course took runners from EPCOT to Disney’s Hollywood Studios before finishing back at EPCOT. This evening, the runners will toast their achievements at an exclusive post-race party at the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival.

Peyton’s Places heads to Magic Kingdom to investigate the origins of the iconic Disney Super Bowl spots
Peyton Manning, the former NFL quarterback who racked up 2 Super Bowl rings and wins against all 32 teams in the NFL during his 18-year career, is bringing his popular ESPN+ Show ‘Peyton’s Places‘ to Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. The episode explores the origins of the iconic ‘What’s Next’ Disney Super Bowl Spots.
For those unaware, ‘What’s Next’ is a now-staple commercial that appears at the end of the Super Bowl. The ads go something like this: interviewer “Peyton Manning, you just won the Super Bowl, What’s Next.’ Peyton: ‘I’m going to Disney World (or Disneyland, depending on what park the team is heading to).’
The day after the Super Bowl, the winning team gathers at Walt Disney World (or Disneyland) for a celebration that includes parades and interactions with a variety of Disney characters. The first ‘What’s Next’ spot aired with Phil Simms exclaiming ‘I’m going to Disney World’ in 1987 following the New York Giants 39-20 wins over the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XXI. Disney Parks blog relates the following origin of the ‘What’s Next’ idea:
In December 1986, pilots Dick Rutan and Jeana Yeager had just completed the first flight around the world without stopping or refueling. Then Disney CEO, Michael Eisner and his wife Jane, were having lunch with the pilots and asked the simple question “What are you going to do next?” Their response was, “We’re going to Disneyland!” And just like that, the idea for the iconic “What’s Next?” campaign was born.
Watch Phil and Peyton traverse around Magic Kingdom while Phil gives us all the inside story behind the famous spots (such as the fact he in initially didn’t even want to film the commercial) in the “When You Wish Upon A Star” episode of “Peyton’s Places” airing now on ESPN+.

Holiday Decorations have Arrived at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Disney’s Animal Kingdom has received holiday decorations! From a giant Christmas tree to wreaths and garland throughout the resort, guests can enjoy festive and unique decorations.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom’s giant Christmas tree can be found outside the entrance to the park. The tree is decorated with ornaments in the shape of animals, snowflakes, and other colorful ornaments. At the base of the tree you’ll see gifts and toys. Characters from Winnie the Pooh are around the base along with other favorite characters like Stitch and Chip & Dale.
The holiday decorations start at the entrance to the park. Garland and wreaths decorated with ornaments and bows adorn the stores and even the ticket office.
The holiday decorations begin inside the park as you walk over the bridge into Discovery Island. The village is in the middle of celebrating the winter season, so you’ll see lots of sparkling white holiday decorations. On light posts throughout the park you’ll see other holiday decor.
There are even some unique holiday decorations in the park. These two Christmas trees seem to be made from bicycle parts and other repurposed materials.
We can’t forget Donald’s Dino-Bash in DinoLand USA! The area is decked out in festive wreaths, lights, ornaments, and garland. There’s even a giant snowman!
