2017 Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend

[Tinkerbelle's Mom]

I typically get to the Princess expo on the second morning and it's never been too bad. I'll be there tomorrow morning too... if I can roll out of bed after my 11pm flight arrival.

Thanks! Oh that is hard since you will get to hotel late. We land at around 6:30 am -- red eye flight from the west coast so we want to do the expo first after checking in -- this way if we conk out my dd has her bib and I've got my cheer squad stuff.

We are so excited!! DD can't wait for her first WDW RunDisney event.

Just picked up my stuff from the expo and somehow I'm in corral A for both the 5k & 10k (I'm not doing the half)...I'm kinda freaking cus I really don't feel like I'm corral A material....at least there shouldn't be long lines for characters? Idk...anyone else in A??

What estimated finish time did you submit? You can always move back to start with a slower corral if this makes you really uncomfortable. Or if you want to keep the short photo line advantage of corrall A but know your pace will be slower than most of the other runners there- try starting at the back of the corrall, so they can get out in front of you. And stay nearer the side so people can go on by without weaving around you?

Expo isn't bad at all right now. No lines and it looks like they still have everything.

I'm in A, too for the 5k. And I also think I'm not corral A material!

I went to the expo around 2:30 and there was no line for bib pickup or for merch. It looked like they had pretty much everything still in stock.

You wouldn't believe how much is already on eBay. $50 for the ornaments.

I'm in B for the 5K and the 10K. I signed up for the GSC so I have no idea how corrals were assigned. I think when I registered for the 10K for 2015 i had to put in an estimated time????

 

[Bree]

Where the ornaments the pink sneakers?

Yep. 2017. $55.

Also in corral A for the 5k. See you guys there- I'll be a Snow White.

Given that they still had a ton out a couple hours ago that seems rather silly.

Hey! I don't think that XS shirt will fit. I bought a "coffee first" at the expo today in a small.

I don't think there is any rhyme or reason to corral assignments this year!!!!

Meetup anyone???????

 

[Ariel484]

Tons of pink shoe ornaments in the JCenter still.

 

[courtneybeth]

No worries @Bree - glad you found a shirt!

I'm down for a corral A meet up. how and where and when?

 

[Ariel484]

I think it'll be Cinderella until/unless they change the challenge name to something else.

Speaking of...starting next year, the GSC isn't the GSC anymore. Already prepping for 2018 and we haven't even done our races yet!

Wow they are just going for all general challenges now so they can change the themes more often it seems.

Which is fun for all. Although from a sales point in unnecessary. They always sold out of the GSC right?

 

[Ariel484]

I'm not surprised they did this since they just did it for Disneyland and Wine & Dine weekends.

Princess has always been a race weekend thats quick to sellout. It's just interesting to see Dumbo gone, Lumiere gone, and now Glass Slipper.

 

[Bree]

Oh my gosh. We haven't even kicked off the 5K and they are getting ready for next year. Crazy!

 

[ChiTownZee]

So for the gsc our 10k corral is listed before our half corral in the upper left corner, correct?
