But it's spooky season and I have all things Halloween on the brain, so that's what I'm going with today.
Meet the runDisney Balloon Ladies, Molly and Heather.
This interview was recorded and shared on the No-Guilt Fangirls Podcast in 2020, but the information still holds up. And both ladies are still active Galloway pacers- and altogether great people.
If you're looking into your first or 50th runDisney race, this episode is for you! Get to know the Balloon Ladies of runDisney with us as we fangirl them just a bit.
