We’re all in the middle of a global pandemic, and this weekend was supposed to be the runDisney Star Wars Rival Run Weekend. There could be no better guest for this episode than Michael Does Disney.
Michael is huge in Disney Instagram circles, an amazing person to follow and get to know, and really pulled out the stops to get people engaging, exercising, and otherwise having fun this weekend in the spirit of the Star Wars Rival Run Weekend by doing his own “Officially Unofficial Star Wars Workout Weekend” on Instagram.
If you missed me in my absence, listen to my recap of Princess Half Marathon Weekend as a guest on Fastpass to Fridays, the podcast hosted by my most recent guest Devon and her cousin Carrie:fastpasstofridays.podbean.com
