Disneyland Fitness Center

On Dec. 19th, I got up at 6am. It was dark in our hotel room and my eyes were droopy. I am NOT a morning person. But like a kid on Christmas, I jumped out of bed, excited for what the day would bring.
I clumsily pulled on my running clothes and left the room as quietly as I could. I wasn't sure where the fitness center was, so I asked a resort worker.
It was located toward the back, hidden behind trees and a small swimming pool shop building. I was immediately disappointed. I suppose most Disney visitors don't bother to use facilities such as these. Later that day in the park, I found plenty of evidence to support my theory.
It was a small room with 4 nice treadmills lined up along the back wall. I grabbed a towel and headed for the closest one. I was quickly informed that the treadmill I was standing on was not working properly, so I moved to the only machine that wasn't being used.
I ran 2 miles and sweat more than I ever have doing just 2 miles. It was hot in the room. I'm used to being outside and honestly, I prefer the wind in my face.
In front of me stood 4 epilite running machines. The treadmills and epilites took up half of the space in the room. The other half contained a couple bikes and weight lifting machines.

While Disney Fitness Center was disappointing, but at least they had one. I was happy for that!
