2017 Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend

[run.minnie.miles]

I am also SO excited for Belle!! Snow White isn't my fav, so I was kinda bummed when she was rumored to be the theme. I'm getting nervous/excited/anxious for my first registration... I keep telling myself that as long as I'm ready to go 5 min before, I'll be fine... right?

I'm feeling very nervous for my first registration as well. So much so that I'm going to do it at my Mother-in-law's house because she has a newer computer and can watch my daughters while I register. I have faith that as long as we are ready to go 5 minutes before noon, we'll be ok. And if not, there are other ways (travel agent, charities, etc).

When I log into Active, is there a way to see rundisney events? I tried searching and nothing came up. How will I know where to register when the time comes?!

There will be a direct link posted on runDisney.com. They also usually post it on their social media accounts. It'll also be posted here.

RunDisney's Instagram posted a pic of Belle & Beast with info about registration so I would say the theme is 1,000% going to be Belle! And don't make fun of me, but I got sort of emotional. I was a book worm growing up & loved Belle so much. I am definitely doing all 3 races and pushing myself to get all of that Belle bling!

I was definitely book-loving kit who loved Belle also! I wish I was doing all 3, but 2 will have to do!

Good luck to everyone registering on Tuesday. I'm curious about race sell out times; the 10K and 5K are givens to sellout in under an hour. I'm wondering how the GSC and half do given the recent other events that normally sellout quickly (Dumbo, Dopey, etc).

Plus 2018 will probably be the year I actually attend this weekend and I'd like to have an idea as to how many people I can sign up in a short time frame. Is 2018 an anniversary year for Princess weekend? I don't care, but it's probably another factor in sellout times.

I don't think the 5K will sell out that quickly...it's still open for early registration. Really surprised about that.

Yep, I think 2018 is the 10th anniversary.

Hello all! I did the PHM last year and I think I'm in for the GSC this year! Nervous about registration on Tuesday - does anyone remember how quickly the GSC sold out last year?

@Ariel484 Yes 2018 is the 10 Anniversary! Hope I make it!

Just used my "special link" for PP to register...so much less stressful...Good luck to all those on Tuesday!

I also booked my air travel with point! That was nice. And booked All Stars Movies and am hoping for promotion later this year and may upgrade to a moderate.

Training should be interesting this fall as my DD is have a baby in October and I may need to help her. There may be a small gap of time of when she gets a spot in day care and having to go back to work. Nice that she works at a gym and I would have access to that to keep up training.

That's the only good thing about deferring! I liked my special link!

I'm starting to get very stressed/worried...it's really annoying that registration has to open at noon on a Tuesday. I'll be teaching until 12:50, so if it sells out in 50 minutes i'm out of luck. Kind of sad, as this was a huge motivation for me to get out and exercise.

Do you have someone that could do the registration for you? Depending on what you are hoping to register for I would not wait until 12:50. :-(

I was not planning to do Princess in 2017, since I am doing three WDW race weekends this year, but then I saw the posts about it being Belle. No way am I going to miss that! So, I freaked out and registered for the 5K with my DVC. Now I'm going to try for GSC on Tuesday.

Belle makes sense for the theme since it is the 25th anniversary of the movie and the live-action version is being released early next year too.

Don't suppose you could show a movie to your class that day? A reading assignment? Heads down on their desks for quite time?

All signed up for the half through early registration! The half was all that was left when I did it earlier. Is everyone thinking it will be another quick registration?

I think it took about 1:45 last year.

I think so. I need to get a friend into the 10K so I'll be ready right at noon!

It's only the second day of the summer semester and I have a very strict curriculum I have to stick to

Thank you! That takes a bit of the pressure off

I don't remember which race you said you were doing. You should be okay for the half at least.

Bummer. Maybe a friend or family member can do it for you?

Or, you could have someone watch your class for 10 minutes while you sneak away to the bathroom with your phone?

I am prepping for Tuesday. Thanks for the tip about the Active Advantage one month trial -- I will definitely do that. I need to register both my brother and me for the GSC and my sister and daughter for the 10k. Which should I be doing first? (in other words, which will sell out first?)

 

[The Expert]

The 10K will most likely go first, as most of those bibs are reserved for challenge runners.
