Official 2011 Princess Half Thread Part II!!!

[Swmr359]

Safe travels and good luck in the race! I feel like I have a million things left to do too! I WISH I was gonig to be there tomorrow night But I'm not getting to Orlando until 10pm Friday night...I must be like the LAST one in or something!

I'll be arriving 11pm Friday night! poor CM's who have to drive me and check me in.
I wish I could fly in earlier, or even stay past Sunday night. But I started a new job in November, so I don't really have the leave. (plus I'm hoping to save it for the DisneyLand 1/2!)

 

[saysay]

I am SOOOO not ready. Have to go buy shorts, dye my hair, and pack tonight. Yikes!

If anyone is at WDW tomorrow night and has no plans, PM me. I might be organizing a drinks meetup at DTD for anyone that is interested.

I wish! I am getting in Friday afternoon. I hate my trip is so short and no time to do meetups.

I will be leaving first thing in the morning also! I can't believe how fast this time came!!!

I will have a hot pink sparkle skirt on, black/hot pink capris and a white shirt that has a sparklely tiara on the back and says "13.1 miles to go"

I will be running alone, (walking with the hopes of running some of it - recovering stress fracture) and i think corral D - bib #10533.

Good luck everyone and safe travels!!! See everyone soon!

YAY!!! another 10,xxx person!! I'm like 10459 or something. I leave in the am too, but we don't get in till 1:30 or something. We have plenty of time to check in, get our tix for Friday-Sun and squeeze in a 2-3 mi run before my sister gets in. I CANNOT BELIEVE IT'S TOMORROW!!! WOOOHOOO!!!!

Last night of work, 2 classes tomorrow afternoon (skipping my last one because it's a 1 hour trip vs what could be a 2-3 hour trip from traffic), cashing my paycheck and then flying out Friday... CAN NOT WAIT

I've been getting "good lucks", "safe travels", and "have funs" all day from teachers/TAs, friends, coworkers... It's just all making me more excited!!!

I feel your pain!! I have nothing packed or even put to the side yet!! Trying to finish up my running shirt. On top of everything else my younger son,who's 15 was home sick from school yesterday and my husband had to pick him up around 11 this morning!! Ugh!! This can't be happening right before I am leaving for my 4 day Girls weekend!!! Will probably have to make a visit to the pediatrician tomorrow to make sure all is ok before i head out Friday morning.

Have fun tomorrow night at whatever you end up doing!!

 

[MeredithRX]

I'll definitely be looking for you guys tomorrow night! I can't wait to get down there. I'm going through my packing list one more time and praying I don't forget the essentials (like my AP) while I try to cram everything else into my carryon. *sigh* I am SO not good at flying.

 

[ironz]

Ha! I'm glad I double checked the expo schedule. I was going to go tomorrow (Thurs) and beat the crowds. But it doesn't start until Friday!

 

[ingefan]

I finally got around to uploading shirt pictures!

This is what our team will be wearing. There are 8 of us total, and I am the tall chubby one with long brownish-red hair. I will be wearing a black visor and a black running skirt, and black zensah calf sleeves, so say hi if you see me!

The shirts were done through customink.com. I couldn't recommend them enough! 2 week turnaround, free shipping, and abouut $28 per shirt inclusive. All the art was stock and picked through their design studio. They are tech wear shirts and you had to do a 6 shirt minimum.

Back:

These are awesome! How is your pace coming? Can't believe we are so close.

I hope everyone has safe travels in the next few days! We are leaving early Friday morning. Have most of the packing done- had to pack for DD1 ( she's staying with my mom), DD4 and myself. And work has been crazy busy-- since I am not here next week, I am pulling double duty this week to make my schedule as light as possible for the person covering me.

We haven't told DD4 where we are going-- trying to decide if we should tell her when we wake her up, at the airport, or just let her figure it out. She thinks we are going to Dallas, so I figure when we pull up the resort area she will figure in out.

I vote for just let her figure it out when you get there!

It's getting so close, it's very exciting!! I leave home tomorrow to spend the night closer to the airport then head out Friday a.m. I should be there in time for the expo Friday night. It's a solo trip for me so I guess I'm going to share some of your CHear squads.

Like many others here, I'm staying at the AS Movies. It's my first time staying at a value, shocked to see we don't even get coffee makers or microwaves. I understand they rent mini fridges, but I just wanted some hot water for my morning oatmeal. Guess I'll be heading down to the food court really early Sunday.

Finished my outfit and have my custom park touring shirts ready too. I haven't seen many really high numbers here. My bib number is nearly 13,000 so it looks like the last corral and 6:25 a.m. start for me. It should be fun no matter where I start.

Hey Princesses - I fly out early in the morning. I'm so excited there is no way I will sleep that much tonight. Two of my kids were weepy before their bedtime. That makes it so tough! For a second I was tempted to tell them I would stay home...but that didn't last long

See you at the finish line!!!

Merci

 

[Disfan11]

I'm getting ready to fly out tonight!
And it's been snowing on and off all day.
Now snow in western WA is way different than the east coast.
We're not as prepared here for snow.
So I'm crossing my fingers that I can get out.
I can't wait for the sunny Florida weather!
And I can't wait for this fun run.

If anyone is staying at the CBR, my door will be decorated with all kinds of Princess and running decorations.
Stop by and say hi!

Good Luck Princesses!

I'm in the 14,000 so I will be in the back also. When I registered I hadn't started training and wanted to give myself lots of time! I guess I should have given myself more credit. Oh well..it's going to be a great time no matter what!!!

I bought a nice lightweight tiara last night. Very last minute change. It has combs at the ends so they stay down but the middle doesn't and I know it'll bounce. I'll be wearing a sweatband and was wonding if anyone has any ideas on a good way to keep the middle down. I was considering attaching the middle of the tiara to the middle of the headband (but not the ends) so I can put the headband on and lower the tiara into place behind it. Is this crazy? I will be making/trying it in a short job tonight so if it doesn't work I will have time to change it before we leave.

Would hair pins help keep it from bouncing?

This time tomorrow morning I'll be on a flight to Orlando!! I finally gave in last night while I was packing, and took out my throw away clothes. Since it is going to be so warm I figured a swim suit was more important that throw aways... the lazy river at TL will definitely be calling my name on Saturday!

I hope everyone has a safe trip to Florida!

me too! my flight tomorrow (friday) is at 6:45 am! i can't wait to be down there. i'm definitely bringing a bathing suit (though i guess that means i oughtta put a razor to my nether regions lol!)

***************
i will also be at ASMo. it's probably too late to organize a meet up. what time is everyone (all resorts) planning on getting on the bus. i'm thinking waking up at 2:45 and getting on the bus at 3:30. does that make sense?

i am a ball of nerves now. so incredibly scared of the warm weather as i haven't run in anything about 35 degrees in months!! i want to finish this thing so badly! afraid that my longest of 10 miles WEEKS ago won't be enough. but, what's done is done.

i'm hoping to get in a short run today but not sure. tomorrow after i arrive i might go for a quick 15 min run at the resort just to see how i feel in the heat and to get myself ready. we shall see!
