Anyone registering for disney princess race today?

[thebulldog]

My sis and her kids are doing a disney trip next year so i convinced them we need to do it at the time of the race

i be typing from me phone. typos and grammer dont count.

I wish I was. I really wanted to do it next year, but I just can't make that weekend work. Good luck!

Their new glass slipper challenge was 70% full around 12 pm. That's redic.

My sister wants a Disney race to be her first half. She's leaning towards this one. I'm hoping she'll postpone.

The new 10k looks fun! Im thinking about it.
This race was my first half ever. Definitely do a Disney race if you ever can. It was awesome. Yes it's crowded and expensive but Disney puts on an amazing race experience!!

I am doing it with a "disney person" friend who bascially has done all the challenges for medals. I am excited about it but hope i don't drown in a sea of tulle.

That can't be guaranteed. The level of costumes worn for Disney races, this one in particular, is just baffling to me. I have no idea how people even run in the some of the costumes I've seen. More power to them, it's just not for me.

I did it last year and it was awesome! Here is me post race

[thebulldog]

I have wanted to tear all my clothes off by the end of every race i've done i am so hot and sweaty....how on earth do you keep a costume on.

Cute pic!!!

I had compression shorts under the tutu. So the tutu wasn't hot at all and didn't move. I'm from Texas so that race wasn't hot to me :-)

[secretlyevil]

It's 50% full after one-day!

My little sister signed up this morning, which means I too signed up. It's her first half, she's really doing it!

[stinkerbell6879]

But but Kirkette! The medal it self has pink and purple!

Yes...I am registered for the Glass Slipper Challenge and pre registered for Tink! I am a Disney Medal Whore, yes. I.am.

[secretlyevil]

I think that's a specific coast to coast medal for the "women" races. Which is such a great marketing tactic. I loved Disneyland last year, it was so awesome, because it was a completely new course for me, the race just flew by. Also got my reigning PR out there.

I'm so burnt out on WDW races, the courses are the same. Told H after I finished Disneyland and got my coast to coast that I was done with Disney races but I love my sister so here I am. All he did was roll his eyes and said, "they just keep sucking you in don't they?"

ETA: So you got the glass slipper challenge? I can't believe how fast that thing sold out.

[stinkerbell6879]

Jenn...YUP! But I got in on the preregistration that happened last week. Also, I agree! They suck you in with a new medal, new challenge, wanting to be a "legacy" runner (I have done Tink the past 2 years...), but I still love it :-)

Right there with ya, sister!  I've done one Disney race already this year, and have 3 more in the next 8 months.  Here is my wallet Disney.  Please take all of my money.

[stinkerbell6879]

Soooo you have this reaction!!? lol. I wanted to skip Princess, so I could do Wine & Dine or Tower of Terror, since I can only justify one FL trip this year. But the goal is to have at least one medal from each of the major races.

[mrsjthompson]

Yep, that sounds like me    (angel).  Of course, it's easier since I live a day's drive from Orlando.  But to be fair, Expedition Everest and Tower of Terror were my husband's idea, and a bunch of friends talked us into Wine and Dine.  But the Minnie Mouse 10K was all me!  I agreed to W&D because I knew Princess 2014 is out for me.

Now my sister is the really crazy one.  She wants to do Dopey in 2015.

Dumbo or this glass slipper challenge don't seem too crazy to me. I think a 10k would be a nice way to loosen up the legs for the half the following day.

Goofy or Dopey - um yeah, hell no. People be freakin' crazy. The funny thing is I know several Goofy veterans and they're all, "oh it's no big deal." I just sort of look at them like they have three heads of something. I think it's like the whole pregnancy/labor thing, your mind blocks the trauma and so you think it's no big deal.

When we asked a friend of mine (one of the group of W&D enablers) about when he did the Goofy, he said "It was just stoopid."  The races, the training, the whole thing.  I figure that's probably pretty accurate.  I did point out to my sister that the training plan for this year's Dopey is something like 29 weeks.  Eesh.

my inlaws moved to Fla this year so I have one foot in the door of this becoming an issue. Wine and Dine is attractive for next year. Any must-gets from the expo?

The expos at Disney races are DANGEROUS!. There are so many exhibitors. At the princess expo, don't forget to get pixie dusted.

I didn't know about this!  That would be a blast!!  I'd love doing this so much more than the Goofy.  lol

It was sold out as of 12 pm yesterday. My mind is blown - $250 and it was sold out in 24 hours or so.

The training sucked BIG TIME.  I can't wait to train for a marathon without the back-to-back runs.  The 10-20 back-to-back runs on the weekend before Christmas ruined Christmas for me.  I would totally do it again though!

I'm doing the Glass Slipper Challenge next year -- I ran Princess this year (it was my first half) and wasn't going to do it again, but the new 10K and challenge sucked me in.
