Do you know where you are staying for the princess?

Where is everyone planning to stay? My friend and I are currently at AS Music but are looking to change. I'm curious what resort would be easiest to get back to post race.

I'm either staying at GF, CR, or the Poly. Depends what I can book as a bounceback after Wine & Dine.

i'd like to stay at port orleans but if not i'll stay at a value. i'm hoping to arrive on friday and leave sunday night. i'll just have to find someone to watch the little guy for me on friday until dh gets home from work.

speaking of the little guy, of COURSE he is sleeping right now when i'm ready to go out and run!

rule #1: never wake a sleeping baby, right???

 

[dumbo_buddy]

is anyone visiting WDW before the race? i will be there in sept, dec, and january (i know, i'm spoiled...we bought a DVC contract that had extra banked points that we had to use).

since i'll be there during prime training, i should really run while i'm there, right? usually we walk a TON (used a pedometer once and we did 12 miles most days). maybe i won't do a long run?

i'm staying at bcv in sept, ssr in dec and treehouses in jan. anyone know where to run there?

All Star Music was $532 and CB was $689

I am hoping to share a room, but if not I wil be at All Star Music.

Would love to stay at POFQ if we can get a good discount otherwise, cantwaitvaca09, we'll look for you at AS Music.

dumbo_buddy, Yep, don't wake that baby. No training plan is worth what might happen!

I will be there in September and January... Sept 5-12th and Jan 23-29th. First trip is BCV/BWV, and second is currently BWV but may change (although we have BW view booked).

If you overlap, maybe we can meet up?

There have been so many posts I really need to catch up!

Quickly for now: I asked the WDW Endurance group about the Princess 1/2 marathon "Princess in Training" shirts. I received the following response:

"...we are planning on offering the Princess In Training shirts later this fall. They will be available via our web site."


Yea! I've been wanting one of those for motivation/focus!

Me too!!! I think I asked here about those a while back and someone responded that they remembered them being available last year in September...I think. I'll definitely be looking for them! Just through some of my own searching on the web I've found a website for runningprincess.com that sells some really cute shirts and other things "princess-y". I haven't ordered, but might. Evidently they normally have a booth at the Princess Half Expo too.

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

Thanks for posting the info on the shirt
I would love to get one also

oh how wonderful kat! we'll be there the same week in january! it would be really fun to meet up! that trip is where we are taking my aunt, uncle and their three kids to the treehouses! i'm so excited. but i will definitely need to run since that's really crunch time before we're back in feb!

the sept trip for us is the 18-26th. dh is turning 40 while there and i will be turning 30 the week after so it's a combined bday celebration for us. i hope to not gorge myself too much!

I am probably coming in Friday. Not sure yet when... I am driving, so it will really depend on room rates and vacation time and such. Worst case I drive as far as Brunswick GA, stay with my aunt, and get there mid-day Friday.

Jo, I might be up for sharing a room Friday night? EE and I did last year as well. I will let you know as we get closer.

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

I found this on the web... I should really get back to workHA HA

That would be great, just let me know.
