I have run half marathons more than 45 minutes faster than his net time and I am no runner.

They don't even track the results for the 5k. Why would he hide his number??

You don't even need a runners number to look up results anyhow - just their name.

I'm not defending PMM as I've never done a 10-miler myself, but if he stopped for pictures along the way - some of those lines get crazy long - that would hike up his time. Even so, at least he attemped and completed 10-miles. More than we can say about slacker Michael.

When applying for the Disney College Program you choose the roles you are "Most interested" in, "Have little interest" in or have "No interest at all". It's up to you to select the roles very carefully from the list of roles or you will end up in housekeeping or custodial or food service. (These are the roles I would personally be less interested in) Your role usually has nothing to do with your major in school either.

And the whole Magical Meg thing…I listened to her “I quit Disney” vlog and I’m surprised she made it this long. If you watched any of her prepping for DCP vlogs, she is totally backpedaling now. She comes across very entitled and spoiled despite her claims otherwise. She isn’t telling the complete truth either regarding paying her rent, etc., she stated previously that she wasn’t living at the DCP complex because her parents setup her apartment and bought her a new car.

You are right on the nose. Apparently, the college program assigned her a role of housekeeping assistant like moving around those 6 foot towel carts but she had some physical & medical issues after a couple of weeks.

In her defense, they're not supposed to keep you in that role the whole time. An ex of mine was in the DLP back in the early 00's and she said they rotated you through some of the "grunt" work at first before letting you do things like work the desk and actually see how the rest works. The theory was as someone in management having a better feel for the "boots on the ground" helps you better allocate resources and understand your employees.

Sounds likes DLP decided to just either abuse this or forgot about her and she wasn't vocal enough to get the change she needed. Would I have left? Maybe. Do I see why she left? 100% So many people go into the DLP thinking it'll be rainbows and sunshine, instead its the total opposite


And in defense of PMM. HE finished the 10 Miles, even if he power walked it and stopped for photos along the way he committed to something more than Mikey ever has and finished it. Anyone that does a RunDisney event with the intentions of a PR is fooling themselves. It's a reward for training and getting to meet new people and have fun.

You could look any of the events I've done compared to a RunDisney and those splits are way different. Why? Because I'm either running with someone I know, stopping for photos, getting a selfie in an empty park or maybe even encouraging someone that's struggling on the back half of a course.

TL;DR
1. Meg should have known better
2. PMM is still fat - but he's trying?
 
Kelly, I know you snoop on this site for Michael and Dave. Just checking to see if you ran the 10 miler this past weekend.

The thing is, he keeps talking about how he "ran." But he didn't. And he didn't meet the minimum pace but somehow didn't get swept. Also, he says he only wants to do RunDisney events.
 
I give Nate a ton of credit for doing something outside of his comfort zone and following through with it. Who cares if he walked the race, it’s RunDisney not the Boston marathon. I’m a pretty seasoned runner and did the races this weekend. Half the fun for me is seeing people accomplish their goals, and if the goal for him was just finishing then I’d say job well done!

Way, way more impressive than Michael’s half hearted attempt at a 5k. Someone I was with this weekend saw him in the corral and said he looked bored and uninterested. RunDisney might be the newest addition to the Michael Kay graveyard of passions.
 
He didn’t do it for his own health, though. He and Michael have only latched onto Run Disney to vary their content. Not that it even shows variety anyway. At the end of the day, whether you watch Nate or Michael’s video, all you see is a blurry, shaky theme park background with a waddling blob in front.
 
In a recent video, Michael was clearly driving a different car, leading us to wonder if he had a new car. In yesterday's video, he commented that he still has his CRV. Maybe he was driving Dave's car?

Michael is now out of breath, huffing and puffing, just walking around vlogging.

I asked the same thing a couple pages back - it is a different car

Actually, from what she said, that's how they did it before Covid. But once the parks opened again they no longer ask what your interests or preference is.
 
If I were still a runner it would be cool to run in a RunDisney event. If I were to take a vacation it would be cool to ENTER a RunDisney event. What I don't understand is living in the Orlando area and repeatedly entering RunDisney events just to walk around to get my picture taken. How is that a thing for anyone? Once in a while, maybe? Michael's obsession with Michael and taking pictures of Michael cannot be a healthy relationship and it looks and seems weird.

Michael has a 6 minute video today about things not forget on your cruise. I can't wait to watch. My guesses:
pants
shoes
phone
