2017 Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend

[Fire14]

I will change/cancel within next few days. It's more about wanting freedom this trip but I want decant food also so it's hard. It has nothing to do with training and 100% to do with trip in general

For those who have run Princess weekend before, what time were you finished with both the 10k and Half? I'm trying to figure out if I should make any type of dining reservations or not

In addition to what everyone else said, if you do make a reservation, factor in the amount of time you may take stopping for pictures. I run a 2:30 half, but I spent 4 hours on the course for Princess because I stopped for nearly every picture. And because I spent so much longer on the course than I planned, afterwards I felt pretty terrible. I met up with friends at Epcot (who were drinking around the world - oy), and I didn't really feel like a person again until the afternoon.

There is plenty of decent food at quick service, and sometimes you can even get a walkup at a table service. Honestly, I do about 1 (or less) table service per trip. I eat just fine.

Secured all of my dinner ADRs - woohoo. Ready to eat bland pasta and Sanaa Bread Service

I will say that dinner ADRs seem to be very plentiful at the moment - was really surprised more runners aren't eating, but I guess it's the richness of the food that could be a deterrent.

Yeah...I eat turkey and mashed potatoes in the food court. I pretty much eat like an old lady. lol

This sounds like the perfect pre-race option for me... thanks for sharing!

I ended up only making 2 ADRs this morning... San Angel Inn for Sunday night and BOG for Monday night (our last dinner...boo!).

Has anyone been to San Angel? Mexican food is my absolute favorite, so I thought that'd be a fun treat post-race. Is it worth it? I was tempted to make a Yak & Yeti ADR for Friday night, but I'm not sure what time the new AK nighttime show will be, so I thought we'd try the Y&Y QS that night.

Made our ADRs this morning! We got 1900 Park Fare on Friday night, breakfast at BOG Saturday, a very early dinner at 'Ohana that night, and BOG lunch on Sunday before we have to leave. It's a ton of food, but I'm pretty excited

We really like San Angel. It's a nice ambience. Food is good. We usually share an appetizer and entree .... With our own tequila flights.

You're welcome! POR has a kids meal with that. It comes with turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, veggies, and cornbread. I don't know how much you eat, but the kid's size is plenty for me, and lot cheaper! It's actually really good. I don't feel like I'm missing out on eating anything.

I haven't been there for years, but I liked it a lot. It's your usual Mexican food, but the atmosphere is fantastic.

ADRs are done! I got everything I wanted, including Via Napoli on Saturday for dinner. My version of carb loading is always pizza I hope planning and training is going well for everyone!

Hello all! Not sure where to post this so please direct me if there's a better place. I'm running the Princess 5K and need info about packet pick-up. How do I get from Bay Lake to ESPN Wide World of Sports??

You can either drive yourself over or take a bus from your resort.

We like San Angel as well -- the food is good, but we especially like the atmosphere!

Hit my 180 days this morning for our first day, and the day before the 1/2 -- and was able to get a pre-opening reservation for breakfast at CRT, and an early dinner reservation at Via Napoli

My friend and I are going for just 3 days and only 1 day in the park. The one reservation we really wanted was Be Our Guest on 26th for dinner and we are out of luck

Bummer. If you're willing to do a late lunch you can get in as a party of 2 and can kind of have the same experience. I love the lunch more than the dinner, so... at least you'd be IN the restaurant at 2:25p

Keep checking. One may pop up!

Yikes! I had thought it was at Disney Springs for some reason. Had even booked dinner there for Friday night after packet pickup. Do buses run to ESPN from all the resorts? Do they go to Disney Springs from ESPN?

 

[Kernandi]

I got all my ADR too. Although I might have to change Friday night now since I didn't know about ESPN.
We have Morimoto for Friday night. Park 1900 for Saturday post-race. Hoop Dee Doo for Sunday night. BOG for Monday evening and Kona on our departure morning (Wednesday).
