Official 2016 Princess Half Marathon Thread

Oh and I need to ammed my signature-- I decided to just do the half so that's why I could pick my packet up on Saturday LOL
 
Question for the rundisney experts, I realize I missed the boat on registration already (It is August and it is sold out) for 2/2016 Princess 1/2, but how soon should I / Can i sign up for the Princess 1/2 in 2017? Someone above mentioned something about an annual pass,….if you have one does that mean you can register earlier? I am a runner and a Disney freak, time to put the two together!!!

Registration should open some time mid-July 2016.
DVC members and Annual Passholders have access to early registration, which is 1-2 weeks before general registration. As we get closer to the date, runDisney will start posting more information.
You have at least 10 months until registration, but be aware of the fact that it does usually sell out within the first few hours, so you may want to visit the runDisney website and sign up for email reminders to make sure you don't miss registration.

You can still sign up for 2016, there are some charity bibs still. You'd have to raise the minimum required but it opens up 2016 :D I know Children's Miracle Network still has spots.
As for the Annual pass, I believe that is true, they have a number of spots open for annual pass and Disney Vacation club members, though I am neither so am not sure.

Thanks for the response, I just sent my check in for my final DVC closing, so at least I know *hopefully* I can get in on the early registration next time.

Is there a site for the charity bibs? (couldn't find that before on runDisney site), but then my eyes are tired right now. Thanks for the info!

For PHM here is the link:
http://www.rundisney.com/princess-half-marathon/#charity-groups

if that gives you issue its under the register tab then charity groups. There is a whole list that had bibs, though I'm not sure which ones have any left other than CMNH.

ETA: Lol I hit post at the same time. I missed it originally too.
 
I just got back from a week's vacation, but I was able to get all the ADRs we wanted on our 180+10 day. :) We have one remaining TS credit that I'm planning on using on our non-parks/break day, we just haven't decided where we want to dine yet. I do know that I'd like it to be somewhere we've never eaten before, though, since many of our ADRs are for places we frequent on every trip.

Are there any that you haven't visited that appeal to you? I'm sure everyone would be glad to help you decide. :)

Here's what I've already got booked:
  • Thursday 02/18: Dinner at Kona Cafe* @ 7:10pm
  • Friday 02/19: Lunch at Sanaa @ 11:45am
  • Saturday 02/20: Lunch at Sci-Fi @ 11:30am
  • Sunday 02/21: Dinner at Raglan Road @ 6pm
  • Tuesday 02/23: Lunch at San Angel Inn* @ 11:50am
  • Tuesday 02/23: Dinner at Via Napoli* @ 7:30pm
*restaurant we haven't eaten at before.

So, we have a pretty even mix so far of regulars vs new ones. The leftover TS credit we have we would like to use on Monday 02/22, and it's a non-park day. I'm thinking either The Wave or Grand Floridian Cafe.

I've been to The Wave but it's been so long I don't remember it. I've never been to Grand Floridian Café but I've heard good things. I don't think you can go wrong with most Disney restaurants though.

I'm planning Ragland Road and Via Napoli for the first time this trip, and I'm very excited. I have such a mentality of "character meals, character meals, character meals," it's hard to branch out sometimes! SOME DAY I will go on a kids free trip with DH, but until then I'm sure character meals will dominate!:stitch2:pooh:::MinnieMo::MickeyMoprincess:
 
For those thinking of Raglan, remember that they have the Weekend Brunch! Entertainment starts at noon, I believe, instead of in the evening, on Sat and Sun. And they have an extra menu (along with the normal menu).


I love The Wave's breakfast, but haven't tried another meal there.

This is our last kid-free trip since we're trying for baby #1 right now, so we'll see how that goes, lol! If all goes well, I'll be 4 or 5 months along by PHM weekend, so my goal won't be to PR, but just to run and have fun.
 
I've been to The Wave - but sat at the bar and not in the dining room. The food was very good and the bar was nice and quiet. We liked it a lot both times we went.
