Ukuvuma: Igama lenja yam nguCinderella. Uthando lwazo zonke izinto iDisney lwaqala lutsha, njengoko abazali bam bazisa udadewethu kunye nam kwiWalt Disney World minyaka le njengabantwana. Utata wam usuka kumbindi weFlorida kufutshane nepaki yomxholo, kwaye umama wam wayeyiTinker Bell yeHalloween xa yena yayiyintombazana encinci- iminyaka emithathu ilandelelana, ungatsho ukuba iDisney iluhlobo lwegazi lethu.

Izinto zam ezimbini endizithandayo-iDisney kunye nokubaleka-fumana ithuba lokungqubana ngokugqibeleleyo kwimisitho edumileyo ye-runDisney. Kule minyaka mihlanu idlulileyo, ndigqibe imidyarho exhaswe ngabakwaDisney engama-20 ngeempelaveki ezili-10 kwiipaki zokuzonwabisa zeWalt Disney kumazwe amabini. Ngo-2016 kuphela, ndibaleke ubuncinci umdyarho kwindawo nganye kwezithathu zeDisney ezibamba iminyhadala ebalekayo: iDisneyland eCalifornia, iWalt Disney World eFlorida, kunye neDisneyland Paris eFrance.

Ndiye kumdyarho wam wokuqala oxhaswe yiDisney njengembaleki yokhuphiswano ukuphuma kwam inqaku elikhawulezayo lomdyarho. Kodwa ngexesha lobomi bam bobuhlanga (umdyarho omnye, iziqingatha zemarathoni ezilithoba, ii-10Ks ezintathu, ii-5Ks ezine, kunye nemidyarho yabantwana abathathu ecaleni komtshana wam nomtshana wam) Ndifundile ukuba xa kusiziwa kugqatso lweDisney, uRalph Waldo Emerson waye ekunene: "Ukugqiba umzuzu, ukufumana isiphelo sohambo kuwo onke amanyathelo endlela, ukuhlala elona nani likhulu leeyure ezilungileyo, bubulumko."

Nantsi indlela endifunde ngayo ukonwabela "elona nani likhulu leeyure ezilungileyo" kuwo onke amanyathelo endlela yeDisney.

Nxiba iNdawo

Ndabonisa kwiDisney Wine & Dine Half Marathon eWalt Disney World, ugqatso lwam lokuqala lweDisney, kugqatso lweqela lam elibalekayo kunye neeshoti ezimnyama. Ndazisola kwangoko. Iimbaleki ezinxibe isinxibo sazo zazikhangeleka ngathi zonwaba ngakumbi, kwaye kungenxa yokuba zazinjalo.

Andizange ndiphinde ndiyenze loo mpazamo. Ngoku ndibaleka ngeziketi ezibengezelayo, iitutus, kunye neebhulukhwe zabafazi zinxiba njengomjelo ongapheliyo wabalinganiswa beDisney: uCinderella, Jasmine, Belle, Lady, Megara, Esmeralda, nabanye. I-Cheers "yomlinganiswa" wakho ovela kubabukeli, amalungu e-Disney, kunye nezinye iimbaleki zenza amava abe ngumlingo ngakumbi. Qiniseka nje ukuba uyakha inkangeleko yakho kwizixhobo eziluncedo kwimbaleki kunye nezixhobo.

Cwangcisa yonke iMozulu

Njengalo naluphi na ugqatso, imozulu-kwaye ngakumbi ukubanjwa kwimozulu embi ngaphandle kwezixhobo ezifanelekileyo-kunokwenza okanye kuphule ukusebenza kwakho. Ke xa ukhetha loo ndleko igqibeleleyo, sukuya nje u-furry, umzimba opheleleyo we-Chewbacca onesie kunye nomnqwazi ofanayo kwi-Florida humidity. Le yayiyimpazamo yomyeni wam kwi-Star Wars Half Marathon eWalt Disney World. Ewe, wayejongeka emhle njengomncedisi wam-ndandinguRey Idabi leenkwenkwezi:Amandla ayavusa-kwaye wafumana i-cheers eninzi: "Kukuzibophelela oku!" Kwaye "Kuya kufuneka ushushu!" Kodwa ndiqinisekile ukuba kufuneka siyitshise loo suti, ibibile kakhulu.

Uhlobo oluchaseneyo lwemozulu yokubaleka lunokuba liphupha elibi, nalo. Udadewethu kwaye sajongana nama-32-degree temps kwi-Disney Disney 5K ka-2015, ngelixa sasinxibe njengamantombaza amabi avela eCinderella ... kwiitopu nakwiziketi. Yiza nesutikheyisi enkulu kwaye ulungele ukuhlengahlengisa isinxibo sakho kuyo nayiphi na imozulu ephosela kuwe ngaloo mini.

Baleka Ukuzonwabisa

Uninzi lwabantu luya kukuxelela ukuba iDisney ayisiyiyo indawo "yokugqatso". Uyakufuna ukumisa iifoto ezinabalinganiswa abasecaleni kwekhosi. Uya kufuna ukunqumama kwimifanekiso ephambi kweCinderella okanye iNqaba yokuLala yoBuhle. Ngamafutshane, uya kufuna ukuthoba isantya kwaye wonwabe ngamava.

Imidyarho ebanjelwe iDisney yindawo efanelekileyo yotshintsho lwesantya sokulibala malunga nePR okanye ukhuphiswano. Cinga ngobuhlanga beDisney njengokulingana kwe-Neverland-ube ngumntwana kwaye wonwabe. Zinike kumava.

Okanye Ungaya Uzuko

Andikhathalelanga sifundo sangaphambili kwaye ndinike konke kukhuphiswano oluxhaswe ngabakwaDisney, kwaye bendisenexesha elimnandi. Kwi-Disney Disney ka-2012 Isiqingatha seMarathon ndagijima i-marathon entsha ye-marathon xa ndambethe njengeCinderella. KuMdyarho we-Tinker Bell Half ka-2016, ndibaleke isiqingatha sesibini esikhawulezayo somdyarho ndakhe ndanxiba njengoMeg osuka. IHercules. Yonke ikhosi ye-Disney yesiqingatha somdyarho ithe tyaba, ke ukuba unethamsanqa ngemozulu epholileyo, ecacileyo, ngokuqinisekileyo unokukhahlela isantya sakho.

Elona candelo lililo? Ndilonwabele kakhulu ugqatso ngalunye. Abalinganiswa, ukuzonwabisa, ababukeli, kunye nomoya weembaleki ezikungqongileyo zikunceda ukuba uye kufikelela kumgca wokugqibela. (Nokuba yintoni injongo yakho, ezi ngcebiso zisebenzayo kunye namaqhinga alo lonke ixesha ziya kukunceda ufike apho.)

Baleka kuqala, emva koko uKhenketho

Ndiyifundile le ndlela inzima. Ngapha koko, yimpazamo endiyenzileyo konke ezintathu zam Disney zisiqingatha semarathons kulo nyaka. Ukukhwela iimayile ezingama-30 ngeenyawo kwiintsuku ezine ngaphambi komdyarho wesiqingatha sogqatso? Ewe, kunjalo ngokuchanekileyo into endiyenzileyo ngaphambi kokuvulwa kweDisneyland Paris Half Marathon ngoSeptemba. Inqaba ye-Eiffel! Bingelela-Cœur! Ukubaleka ecaleni kweSeine! Ndandisisidenge sabakhenkethi. Yiza usuku lomdyarho imilenze yam ibingumtya.

Kwaye kwi-Tinker Bell Half Marathon ndavala iikhilomitha ezili-18 ndizula-zula kumxholo wepaki-12 wabo kusuku olungaphambi komdyarho. I-Oof, umbono ombi, ngakumbi xa ndicinga ukuba ndize "oku" kufutshane ne-PR, kuphela ukugqiba ukomisa amaxesha asibhozo kwiimayile ezintathu zokugqibela. (Funda malunga nala mava kwiNgxelo Ngaba kufanele ukuba unikezele ngeNjongo yoKwenza uMbutho?)

Ukuziphatha kwebali: Ukuba unako, yakha uhambo lwakho ukuze ubaleke kuqala kwaye udlale kwiipaki kamva. Kulula ngokwenene ukukrazula imayile engalindelekanga.

Hlela uMhlobo, Zenzele uMhlobo

Ndibaleka imidyarho emininzi ndedwa, kodwa iipaki zedisney zinceda ukukhuthaza "okungakumbi kokudibana" vibe, lelona thuba lilungileyo lokufumana usapho kunye nabahlobo bakho ukuba babambe umgca. Ndahamba nomama kumdyarho wakhe wokuqala kwi-Walt Disney World 5K ka-2014. Kwiminyaka emibini kamva, ndamhambisa nge-6.2-miler yakhe yokuqala (kwiminyaka engama-70 ubudala!) Kwi-Tinker Bell 10K ngeveki yoSuku loMama. (Funda malunga nokuba kutheni ndingathanda ukubaleka nabafazi.)

Ndikhe ndakwelinye icala lalo mbini kunye nomyeni wam okhawulezayo okhokela intlawulo okanye undigcinele inkampani ePrincess Half, Wine & Dine Half, Star Wars Half, kunye neDisneyland Paris Half.

Kwaye i-fairies-abahlobo endadibana nabo kwiminyaka embalwa ngaphambili, uqikelele, ugqatso olwahlukileyo lweDisney-lwandinceda ngeTinker Bell Half Marathon. Misa ikhonsoli, qhubeka kwimithombo yeendaba zentlalo, kwaye uza kubona ubuso bobuhlobo ngexesha elizayo xa ufika kugqatso oluxhaswe yiDisney.

Zisa (okanye uboleke) abantwana

Ukubukela umdyarho wabantwana kundinika zonke iimvakalelo. Ngo-2012, ndabhalisa umtshana wam kunye nomtshana wam (emva koko i-3 kunye ne-5 iminyaka ubudala) kugqatso lwabantwana beDisney okokuqala. Bathetha ngayo waphela unyaka bexhoma iimbasa zabo kumagumbi abo okulala. Ibilisiko losapho ukusukela ngoko.

Bonke bacele ukuba ndibaleke nabo kwiminyhadala embalwa, ndiye ndavuya ngokubaleka iimitha ezingama-200, iimitha ezingama-400, kunye neMile Run ngamacala abo. Andihlali ndikuthanda ukushiywa eluthulini kwindawo yokugqibela. Kodwa xa umtshana wam oneminyaka eli-9 ubudala ehamba kuba ebona umgca wokugqibela, kubeka uncumo olukhulu ebusweni bam.

Hamba umgama

Kukho iminyhadala yokubaleka engaphezulu kwama-35 kunye nemiceli mngeni yokubaleka eli-10 kule veki zisithoba kwikhalenda yonyaka yeDisney. Kodwa kukho enye kuphela i-26.2-miler: iWalt Disney World Marathon. Yeyona ndlela yomlingo yokuzicel 'umngeni, njengoko ndafunda ngo-2013 xa ndabaleka ugqatso lweminyaka engama-20. Yenye yeendlela zam endizithandayo, kwaye ndigqibe ii-marathoni ezisibhozo.

Le khosi ithatha iimbaleki kuzo zone iipaki zemixholo kwiWalt Disney World-Magic Kingdom, i-EPCOT, uBukumkani beZilwanyana beDisney, kunye neHollywood Studios-kunye ne-ESPN yeWorld World Complex yezeMidlalo kunye nezinye iindawo zokuhlala. Ngamafutshane, ugqatso luyimfuneko nakweyiphi na imbaleki. Kwaye ikhosi enkulu kunye nohlanga lokubaleka umdyarho wakho wokuqala, nawo. Ngaphezulu kweepesenti ezingama-50 zeembaleki ngamaxesha okuqala. Kwakuyimarathon yokuqala kwihlabathi apho abafazi babedlula amadoda. Abasetyhini benza iipesenti ezingama-44 zeembaleki zemarathon kuzwelonke, kodwa kwiWalt Disney World Marathon, abantu basetyhini balawula ngeepesenti ezingama-52 zabo bonke abagqibileyo. (Abagijimi bexesha lokuqala banokuba kwizinto ezininzi ezimangalisayo, ngoko ke ndibeka uluhlu lwezinto onokuzilindela.)

Yiba Lidla-kudla

Balekani zonke iintlanga-nkqu neentlanga zabantwana-ngexesha lepaki yeDisney eqhuba ngempelaveki. Ndenze nje loo nto kwi-2015 Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend-5K, 10K, isiqingatha semarathon, kunye nogqatso lwabantwana. Ewe, bendidiniwe, kodwa amava okulala, ukutya, nokuphefumla ukubaleka iintsuku ezimbalwa ngokulandelelana luhambo ngokwalo. Kwaye ufumana umvuzo omkhulu (iimedali ukubonisa!).

"Umceli mngeni wohlanga" luphawu lwe-runDisney. Yonke le nto iqale ngoMdyarho weGoofy kunye nesiqingatha soMceli mngeni, apho iimbaleki zigqibezela iWalt Disney World Half Marathon kunye neWalt Disney World Marathon ngeentsuku ezibuyela emva. Imingeni ngoku inabela phantse zonke iimpelaveki nge-10K/half marathon combos, unxweme-ukuya-lunxwemeni kunye nemisebenzi yelizwe ukuya kwilizwe. Kodwa bonke bancinci xa kuthelekiswa neDopey Challenge (bona into endiyenzileyo?) kwiWalt Disney World Marathon Weekend-5K, 10K, half-marathon, kunye ne-marathon kwiintsuku ezine ezilandelelanayo. Andikazukufumana indondo yam yeDopey, kodwa ndineliso lam kulawo mabhaso, nawo.

Yenze Imilingo

Umyeni wam wenze isindululo ngexesha lasemva kwepati yeDisney Wine & Dine Half Marathon. Kwiminyaka emihlanu kamva, sabaleka iDisneyland Paris Half Marathon kunye njengentsapho eyothusayo-ndandineenyanga ezintlanu ndikhulelwe intombi yethu. Usapho lwam olwandisiweyo-umama, udade, umakazi, umalume, kunye nokunye, abahlala kumazwe amane ahlukeneyo-bajike iminyhadala yeDisney yaba lumanyano losapho. Kithina, iDisney ibiyindawo efanelekileyo yokuhlangana, sonwabe, sibhiyozelane, kwaye ewe, baleka.
