    2018 Princess Half Marathon

    Started officially training today! Being a bigger princess, I need all the training time I can get. :) I'm loosely following Jeff Galloway's plan on the runDisney site; so from now until Oct. 24, I'm training to get very comfortable with a 10K.

    2018 Princess Half Marathon

    Hello, all! It's been a long time since I've posted; however, my hubby just gave me the go ahead to sign up for the half. I did the 2014 Princess Half, but only made it to the med tent at mile 9. Here's hoping to finishing this time! I look forward to getting to know everyone here during...

    DS with autism decided no more Disney right before trip - help!

    We're not sure what part of the wind it is, but it did take two years of therapy for him to be comfortable going out to recess or in our backyard. And we constantly have his noise-cancelling headphones with us everywhere. DS, out of the blue, asked to go to "the Mickey Mouse store" last night...

    DS with autism decided no more Disney right before trip - help!

    Thank you so much for the suggestions, everyone! We will definitely look in to getting a rain cover. We've already told the family that it'll have to be "go with the flow" and plans can change hour by hour sometimes. We do have a "summer coat" (unlined windbreaker) as well, and I'm hoping the...

    DS with autism decided no more Disney right before trip - help!

    We are about two weeks out from our trip, and DS (8) (autism & sensory processing disorder) has now got it into his head that he doesn't want anything to do with Disney World. Anytime we mention it, we have anything from "No, I'm sorry. No more Disney World" to on the verge of a meltdown at...

    Lunch @ Whispering Canyon

    Is lunchtime at Whispering Canyon any quieter than dinner or is the noise level about the same?

    DAS, but number of people in our party in flux

    This will be our first time going with the DAS and FastPass+, and I'm really trying to schedule FPs and make it work the best I can by preparing ahead of time. I figured if I can understand and plan, then I'll be able to do videos and social stories for my son before the trip. DS (7)(Autism)...

    Thanks, Ladydonna! Feeling almost slightly better today, but now the snow's coming down hard again, and I don't think I'll be able to make it to the gym today. I'm glad you're doing better! I'm hoping to make it to the store this week to get some iron-on letters to put "W.I.S.H." on my...

    Calling all Princesses! (2014 Princess Half Marathon Weekend)- thread #2

    It seems I can't keep up with the posts here! Planning on one last long run tomorrow morning: 12 miles. BUT I just got hit with some sinus yuck. It wiped me out today, and I've been doing Airborne, echinacea, tons of fluids, etc., complete rest today to try to kick this thing as fast as...

    FedEx'ing a package to resort

    Can someone explain how FedEx'ing a package to your resort works? I was wondering if it's any cheaper than paying the bag fees the airlines charge.

    Calling all Princesses! (2014 Princess Half Marathon Weekend)- thread #2

    I'm absolutely thrilled with O!!! First half ever, didn't submit a time, and "O" for "Oh so awesome I'm not in the very last corral!" Every minute counts; I'm finally able to do a 15 min/mile; and thank you, Disney, for every extra second you gave me. :banana:
