Mike and Pam are here today to answer more of your awesome Listener Questions!

We also discuss if a first time runDisney participant should add the 10K to the full marathon in 2028 and the "best" deluxe resort for the weekend! Another topic we talk about is runDisney registration and how to help with the stress of getting in your next runDisney event. This and more on today's show!
