RUN
This week, we turn our attention to the RunDisney summer virtual series celebrating the Lion King. This month’s virtual celebrates the Broadway version of the story. We talk about meeting up with our patron, Jenn, running this second 5K not only to complete the second 5K in the RunDisney series but to celebrate our coach, Jeff Galloway, and his birthday! It was beautiful scenery, great company, and a terrific feeling to accomplish the goal.
EAT
We bring you plant-based offerings from Sanaa at Animal Kingdom Lodge. We took a tour of their appetizer menu, and it is was rich with flavorful offerings that kept us on our plan. Yes, a salad might have been a favorite, but you have to hear the discussion about it! Sanaa has a plant-based entree that we did not get to but want to try on a return visit, but we had an amazing dessert. Bottom line: You could have a complete three-course meal that is plant-based here and walk away so satisfied!
DRINK
Sanaa also had a drink option for us to celebrate National Mojito Day and stay on our plan, too! They have an entire “mocktail” menu, but we had to go with the Sparkling No-jito in honor of the day! It was tart with a hint of mint and a slight sweetness. It is a perfect alternative for a designated driver or those who do not want to drink but still want to feel like they are on vacation or celebrating a special occasion!
NEXT WEEK: We recap our first virtual in the Anti-Hero series from Medal Chasers and a great spot for plant-based options at the Magic Kingdom!
