Official 2012 Princess 1/2 marathon thread part 2

One other thing...I'm going to wear my green DIS WISH tee to the expo tomorrow. Forty-something, zaftig, shortish curly brown/gray hair and a tall skinny 9-year-old mini-me by my side. If you see me, say hi! :thumbsup2

DUH, we were just playing photobooth in the hotel room. Here's a pic:

That's awful!:scared1:

I was bummed when DD called at 4:45 this morning and said her flight was delayed 2 1/2 hours....
Well, I'm off to catch my flight..gotta run (pun intended)
 
My mom is helping me finish up some work. However it is taking forever, at this rate it will be miracle if I make the opening show.
 

For everyone who hasn't been to the expo, warning bib pick up is in a tent. And it doesn't have even the slightest cooling system.

I had the misfortune of going to bib pick up second time (went in earlier took a look at line and decided to go to merchandise and return for bib, then took a look at the merchandise line and returned to bib pick up (the later worked out because by the time I returned to by shirts and a hat there was no line)) right after a tour group got to the front. We spent the better part of twenty minutes just standing there. It was 40 minutes after entering when I walked out of the tent into the expo. To say the least, I was dying of thirst by the time I left.

Other than that craziness I've been having fun here. The waiters at Garden Grove were great last night, didn't like the food so much but the service was great. I'm here on my own but made character dining reservations and my waiter and another were nice enough to take my camera so I could get photos with Goofy and Pluto (the later one didn't work out though, I've learned now just to turn it to sport mode and tell the photographers to just hold it until its start firing off multiple shots, I can always delete extras later).

Oh two things to note, Fairy Godmother is supposed to be on course towards the end! And the coach drivers from Cinderella are out taking photos in front of bib pickup!
 
DD and I made it after some flight delays. We fly separate but seems our flight crews both had to catch up on some sleep before they showed up for flight. Not really a complaint as I know they need rest and I would rather have an alert crew just held us back from our plans. We have our bibs and lots of rice. We are good spinners. Resting now and hit MK tonight

Hope those from the Chicago area made it. They were canceling flights to Chicago this morning from Charlotte.
 
Totally just realized that my bib number from my 10k in November was 1951. The princess bib number I have is 5191. I think I need to play the lottery!
 
It was nice meeting up with some of you tonight at the Grand Floridian!

It was great to meet you and your sister! Always nice to put a face with a name.

Here's my picture from the meet, although I'm sure someone with a fancy camera has a better shot.

Sorry we missed the meet! We were at the Pasta in the Park party. Carbo... loaded...

I have to try to exchange my race shirt if they have spares, so back to the expo tomorrow. Which means I'll probably buy that Spibelt I had my eye on. The sacrifices we make.

I just hope that the gals in my corral on Sunday aren't as pushy and rude as some of the not-so-princessy expo-goers I encountered today. Some folks came up short on the Pixie Dust ration.
 
Oh yeah! I meant to ask the veterans - what do you do about sunscreen? I figure by the time the sun comes up I'll have sweated it all off. I definitely need to use it though - I burn like a mother!
 
It's great to be back in WDW, and the weather is rockin! Just a reminder for Saturday to hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Also, take it easy and stay off your feet as much as possible. I know that it is tough to do when you are down here, but your legs will thank you on Sunday.

See everyone in the corrals, and most importantly, at the finish line!

When I got to the expo at 11:45 yesterday the dooney's were all sold out! I guess it was kind of an ugly scene as one cm explained it. Lots of crazy women running to get one.

Oh well. Good news is they saved 100 Disneyland 1/2 spots to register and I am now going for my c2c!!

Good luck everyone!

Don't forget to dig deep!
