2017 Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend

[Ariel484]

And for those who stay off property and drive in -- what was that experience like?

Have never done it but I have heard it's easy as long as you keep road closures in mind. Should be a map of those in the Event Guide, along with parking and timing information.

We were thinking about this the other night because we have time share weeks that may keep things a bit cheaper on the speedy turnaround. $179 for a whole week may be better than staying on property.

I appreciate the speedy response - I love that I can count on you to have the information.

Yeah, $179 for the week is pretty awesome - more money for merchandise that way!!

I'll do you one better - ACTUAL information. This is the link to this past year's program guide...page 12 has driving directions: http://as1.wdpromedia.com/media/rundisney/pdf/princess/2016/2016-princess-race-weekend-program.pdf

Just saw where wine and dine half marathon entry fee is ...gulp...$190.00 guessing that will be the going rate for PHM. Wow!

Wine & Dine has always been the most expensive half at WDW because it includes the after-party ticket. I'd expect PHM to be $175 (same as WDW half) - just my guess.

OMG, did not realize the races were that expensive. How much has the 10k cost in the past?

The Enchanted 10k was $110.00

Also, Active.com fees will be added in at the end...that's an extra 6.5-7%.

Yikes! Will have to budget for that extra. Thanks for the heads-up. It shouldn't be shocking to me that a disney special event is close to financially out of reach lol.

Right now it's supply and demand with runDisney...they keep raising the prices and their races keep selling out, so they haven't hit the ceiling yet. I think they're close, but not yet.

The Walt Disney World 10K (in January) has a registration fee of $115, so I think that's a good guess for the Princess 10K. So with fees it may be about $123.

Disney in general has this issue, lol. Yikes, $123. Better start saving!

Yep! I think a lot of people forget about the fees, so that's always a nasty shock right at the last step of registration.

Booked my home dvc resort today for princess in case we get in. Second time using home resort booking!

 

[Hannahinwonderland]

My best friend has agreed to participate with me! I think this will actually happen, yay!

And for those who stay off property and drive in -- what was that experience like?

I live local so always stay 'offsite'.. If you take i4 or 192 to world drive in to Epcot you'll be perfectly fine. Any attempt to change that up you'll regret it.. There are other roads but those fill up with cast trying to get to work or road closed signs..

I just signed up for the W&D half and I think I caught the rundisney fever. I'm considering doing the GSC in 2017 because last year's medals are so pretty.

Yay! Someone else has the bug!

 

[Sailormoon2]

Just found out friends of mine are planning to run this, so maybe I'll be doing W&D and GSC!!! Definitely got the bug now.

Oh yes, definitely have the bug plus an AP expiring that week so it's an excuse to renew!
