Princess Half Marathon Weekend 2027 (Feb 25-Mar 1, 2027)

[azrivest]

Pivoting to this thread now that I was totally shut out of MW this year... 90% sure I'll try for a challenge spot.

So sorry, I know you were hoping for Dopey

Shut out of W&D AND MW
going to block off registration day to maybe do the 10k and/or 5k this weekend despite running a Gasparilla challenge the weekend before

Aw it's ok! Wasn't trying to be dramatic. The universe is telling me I should take a year off of MW I guess. I just can't believe how crazy this process has gotten! More a comment on that.
Edited to add, as i got off the bus back to the Swan after the marathon last year, I told my friend that I was done with marathons. Princess really is a better choice.

I'm going to try and sign up for the Challenge. It's been years since I have run the Princess and I really would like to get in.

 

[MissLiss279]

I signed up for the challenge a week or two ago with Kellsie’s Hope. I’ll be on a cruise during registration, so I wasn’t hopeful that I would have time to actually register. Registration day is too stressful now!

 

[Blue Caterpillar]

I'm hoping to get the challenge! I've never done this weekend before.

Hopefully everyone booked their DVC reservations! Now waiting impatiently for themes...

Waiting for room only to open up online for 2027 so I can book placeholders for this & springtime assuming the 26/27 season isn’t a total shut out for me

Yes, we are all booked and I cannot wait to see the themes! I also hope registration goes smoothly. I swear trying to get registered is way more stressful than the run itself.

I may be out for Princess 27. I'd love to do it, but we just booked a trip to Japan for 10 days at the beginning of February and I don't think my husband will appreciate another trip so soon after

You can do Princess any year! But Japan! Amazing

 

[SheHulk]

OK when are we thinking for themes?

Someone claiming to be "in the know" on Reddit is giving some vague hints. Could be totally fake, but I've got nothing else to speculate on so here I go.

They claim each of the following combos have 2 correct guesses, and Cinderella is not going to be featured:

• Belle / Tiana / Ariel
• Cinderella / Raya / Snow White / Tiana
• Cinderella / Aurora / Snow White / Tiana

If this is true, by process of elimination, it has to be Tiana and Snow White for sure, and either Belle OR Ariel. That leaves one spot open, and the remaining princesses are as follows: Jasmine, Pocahontas, Mulan, Rapunzel, Merida, Moana. No idea which race/medal these guesses are.

I'm certainly looking forward to finding out of this is true! Since Pocahontas was virtual I'm inclined to think they wouldn't do her but you never know.

My guess if you think they consider recency would be Ariel and then either Jasmine or Mulan, but I'm not sure recency is a factor. It does look like they've avoided back to back princesses in recent years.

 

[The Expert]

Good intel! Don't forget that they've been using a fourth princess recently for the Challenge.

I love Raya and would love a medal with her - but is she part of the official princess brand?

Stop by if you want to see me being very annoyed at this person playing guessing games!

Which subreddit?
Haha never mind, found it, it's r/rundisney

Yep. I’m half annoyed because this person did this once already and I think he/she gets a big kick out of it. There was some big drama earlier this year because some guy who seems to want to be an RD influencer was trying to sell tips that could be found for free if you just ask around. Someone posted about it on Reddit without naming the guy, leading to the obvious: everyone was like “who the heck is doing this?”, and this person took a lot of joy in hinting at who the person could be without naming him and then admonished others for wanting to know who exactly it was. It was tedious!

In terms of the rumored themes, the three that I think have been deduced (Tiana, Snow White, and Ariel) weren't featured last year and two weren't featured the year prior so they make sense. Cinderella (not featured since 2022) still being out is a bit odd IMO.

 

[Herding_Cats]

the 4th one will probably be Moana.

 

[fatmanatee]

Huh, I didn't realize that we'll see the themes next month (5/12?) and then Springtime comes up right after that in June.
