Official all things Princess Half Weekend 2015 thread! DOoneY and offical mErcH on DisneyParksBLOg

It took me an hour and a half but I finally registered my mom and my self for the 10k. So excited! This will be our first race ever. We have been training a little in anticipation but now it's time to kick it into high gear now that it's official! I'm excited to learn from all of you experts!

Well that was one of the most stressful things I've done in awhile! Started right when registration opened and it took an hour and 8 minutes to register for the half and the 5K. My daughter was using a computer and her iPad at work and never did get through. I was able to get her registered though. What a mess! I was all signed up with Active.com and was going to go through their site as suggested, but they didn't even have a link for it for quite a while, so had to link through RunDisney. I know after an hour Active finally had the link, but what's up with the delay? Never dreamed it would take over an hour, so I was late to an appointment. Oh well, at least we're in!!!!! I'm excited for my first RunDisney races.

That was quite possibly the quickest $290 I've ever spent (two for the 5K, one HM), but so worth it. This is my BIG race every year, and this will be the first year my bf will be running with me (he greeted me at the finish line at the 2014 PHM), so I was determined to get us in.

This was the first big step toward planning - I can't wait to book our package! Start putting our race outfits together, getting our flights booked, decorating our MBs, planning out our park visits, etc etc etc. I'M SO EXCITED!!

OMG! Registering for the Princess half was the most stressful thing I have done this week. Tried to register on my phone while I was out and finally had to come home and register on my computer. My friend got in and all I could think was she will kill me if I don't get in.

 

[PrincessV]

either that or the computer that is keeping track of it couldn't handle the updates

That wouldn't surprise me, lol!

Also, I think some people prioritize what they expect to sell first, and the 5k would be after the challenge and the 10k for many people.

I was thinking the same - and I bet it jumps once the 10K sells out.

Just checked RD's website and the GSC is Sold Out. In less than 2 1/2 hours, that's gotta be some kind of record.

Glass Slipper sold out in an Hour and 48 minutes. Not sure the Rebel Challenge sold out fast too.

Myself and a friend just registered for the Glass Slipper Challenge!

I got in I got in! I was so nervous but made it through with no issues. First half marathon, here we come! Side note: my hubby may or may not have been fully aware that this is a PRINCESS half marathon - ha! He's a trooper.

We had two lap tops going, as well. We would get so far, a number of times, and then it would kick us out. Half 75% full.

Yea it's a bit weird, 2 years ago I think it was 25k total and 2k men. But honestly, I think the PHM is more fun. I've been running for 2 years, and I'm not good enough to be super serious, if I was I can always go to Boston Athletics Events (which is what the WDW half felt like.)

This year I'm much happier doing the Star Wars and the Princess.

 

[DisneyRunner2009]

10k 85% full.

 

[TammyAlphabet]

I am registered for the Glass Slipper Challenge!

 

[bekkiz]

My whole crew got in. It was a huge pain and 100's of text messages But my sister, cousin and aunt are doing the 10K, my husband, dear friend and I are doing the 1/2 and my other cousin is trying his hand at the GSC! Oh, and the kids are signed up for the kid's dash. Should be awesome!

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

Whew! 1 hour and 45 minutes later I got my friend and I registered for the Half and the 5K. The GSC will just have to wait till 2016, which is probably for the best.

WOOHOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I was worried when I didn't see any posts!

Now, where are we gonna stay?????

OK Southwest can open up their flights now for Feb!!!

I was at work with an ipad, iphone and computer. I felt like a crazy lady with both the webpage and app open on every device. I kept thinking my cousin will kill me if we don't both get in!

WOOHOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Planning bug over here...and I'm waiting to see flight schedules to determine if we will go the week before or after! I'm overwhelmed with planning, and I'm not even over the stress of registering yet!

I don't know. Cindy and I were just talking about that. My brain is fried from just trying to get through registration. lol Where do you usually stay at?


Congrats to everyone that registered. I can't wait to get healthy and do this thing!

We were in animal kingdom when registration opened, and I totally forgot. I was shocked to see it 75% full when I logged on at 2. But, I'm registered! I can't wait!
