Does the chear squad fill up quickly too?
I'm not really sure. I would think not because not everyone has a cheerleader with them.

Hey all!
I wish I would have looked at this message board PRIOR to registering today.
I'm a Disney Visa holder and I didn't get any notification about registering early or getting a discount with my card. BOO! How did you all know about that?
This will be my first Disney race and my 3rd Half. Doing the GSC for my 40th birthday!
A few questions for those of you that have done these races before...
What's the weather like at 5am on a Sunday in February. I'm in KS and here it's like frozen tundra! LOL!
Does anyone know if there are people that make sweat/head bands that are princess themed?
Lastly I've had a terrible time finding the host resorts for the PHM. Can anyone point me to a link or enlighten me?
Thanks so much!!

I only knew from gearing about it in other races - I've never gotten an email. Sorry - but you'll know for the next one, right?!How did you all know about that?
Feb here in FL can be almost anything - from 20 and sleet to 80+ and sunny. Average is mild: 60s or 70s. But you really won't know until a week to a few days before the race.What's the weather like at 5am on a Sunday in February.
I know Bondi Bands makes tiara sweat/head bands. All WDW resorts are hosts for PHM weekend, so you can take your pick!Does anyone know if there are people that make sweat/head bands that are princess themed?

Hey Gretchen and welcome!
I think the Disney Visa people just learned about it on these boards! But I could be wrong. You might have had to go to the Disney Visa website or something like that, I remember reading a bunch of other people's posts that they didn't get an email notification.
I've never done this race before but I think the weather in 2012 and 2013 was total opposites - one was really chilly and one was ultra hot/humid? Hopefully someone who has actually been at both can shed some light on this for you!
Check out Bondibands for princess headbands! I have some (non-princess) headbands made by them, and they are AWESOME and they don't slip at all!
This one I DO know for sure: All the resorts are host resorts!
Where are you thinking of staying?

Not sure where we're going to stay yet. It'll just be DH and I this time. The first without kidlets (aside from our honeymoon). We always stay at POR, but we want to stay someplace different this time without breaking the bank.
Suggestions?
I'll check out bondibands! Thanks!
Sweaty Bands also makes Princess-themed headbands. I was chatting with a rep at Gate River Run in March and she indicated they had secured a licensing agreement with Disney. I'd imagined they are going to start having race and character specific bands soon.
Can someone answer this for me?
So...if you are registered for the Princess Half...we don't know yet about a park ticket or room discount yet? Because the January dates haven't been released yet?
Do we know when the packages can be booked?
Thanks!
YAY!! Glad to hear this! I first learned of Sweaty Bands at this year's Princess Expo...they are amazing! I have not tried BondiBands, but I have been very pleased with my SweatyBands.
2013 was humid! We did the 5K...@ 3:45am on race morning it was 62 degrees
If they don't offer much of a room discount or discount on tickets, we're going to have to seriously look at staying off-site and maybe only getting a one day ticket to MK. It might actually be cheaper to get a rental car and stay off-site.
How is it for people staying off-site for the races? Is it difficult to drive there for the start of the race?
Also, if staying on-site, we won't get a rental car. I know they have buses to the race, but what about the expo? Is it easy to get from your resort to the expo or do you have to mess around with transferring buses?
Those of you that have stayed ON or Offsite for a RunDisney race, what was your experience?
I think there's a convenience to staying on-site for the races that can't be matched by staying off-site, and in large part that's due to the buses being available to take you to the race. It's an early morning as it is, and stressful enough that adding the mix of worrying about driving there (when a lot of the roads will be closed) wouldn't make up for the $$ lost on one night of staying on-site.
