Welcome to Rope Drop and Run! In this very first episode, Canadian sisters Jenny and Emily — science teachers, marathon runners, and lifelong Disney fans — share how Disney became such a big part of their lives. From childhood family trips and unforgettable character moments to marathon weekends and pixie-dusted surprises, they’ve experienced Disney in just about every way.

This podcast is for anyone who loves Disney, is planning (or dreaming about) a runDisney race, or wants help planning a Disney vacation from a Canadian perspective. We dive into why Disney means so much to us — the art, attention to detail, immersive storytelling, amazing cast members, and the nostalgia that keeps us coming back — and walk through our Disney timeline, from early family trips to multiple marathon weekends.

We also share hot tips for planning a winter Disney vacation, including what to pack, when to avoid peak crowds, and what makes the holiday season at Walt Disney World so special. Plus, we tease what’s coming up next on Rope Drop and Run, including RunDisney 101, planning a Disney vacation from Canada, race weekend must-haves, and traveling with the whole family.
