Does anyone think PW will have a special Magic Band for sale?

I’m not sure I remember seeing one offered in the preorder Merch for MW. I think they offered one for PO last year before everything got cancelled. I feel like they are phasing these out somewhat.

Does anyone have a hunch if the Festival of the Arts will run through Princess Weekend? It’s my last remaining festival that I haven’t tried yet.

It usually does. When I did princess in 2020 we caught the tail end of the festival.

 

[Novatrix]

Whelp, I'm now officially in for the Princess Challenge.

I was on the fence with whether to pair this weekend or the Spring Surprise weekend with Marathon weekend. Between a preference to escape the Northeast in Feb, Spring Surprise taking place the same weekend as the POT race I've done since I started running, my favorite current festival being Festival of the Arts and LOVING the Mulan theme for a half, there was a lot to nudge me towards Princess. What finally pushed it over the edge this morning was a BCV studio became available for all my dates.

Now that I've finalized my decision, I just know rundisney is going to announce a Figment themed 10 miler for the Spring Surprise weekend...

Well that rules me out. I'm arriving super late on Wednesday night so yoga on Thursday morning would be a bit too much, but anyway I won't be renting a car so...

Ugh at the no transportation.
Uber and Lyft don’t run that early. Right?

Me too. I really wanted to experience this but no way am I renting a car for 1 morning.

Technically drivers can be available at that hour (at least where I live) but I'm not comfortable counting on that at 4-430am.

No transportation?! That’s ridiculous! I’m very disappointed that I can’t participate

ETA: I sent a very polite email to runDisney explaining how disappointed I am in their choice to not provide transportation for yoga.

 

[DisneyMountainWoman]

wow the no transportation rules out soo many people... I was not coming in till friday so I was not going to be able to do it anyways. But if I did have time that would make it so I could not do it.

 

[JulieODC]

I was considering it - especially with the mat and bag included, but no transportation rules me out!

 

[SarahDisney]

The no transportation thing is making me pause too. I uber that early sometimes in NYC, but outside of NYC I'm not sure I'm down for it. I couldn't rent a car if I wanted to because I don't drive. So I guess my only option would be staying at the Poly so that I could walk to TTC ... that's a little outside my budget.

 

[kat_lh]

I wonder if they aren’t offering transportation because it’s going to be such a limited amount of participants?

 

[azrivest]

That's what I figured too.

Would there be that many rideshare drivers at 4 am? Not exactly peak time at WDW, with all those late closing bars

 

[pigletliz]

I was wondering if they weren't offering transportation to purposefully keep it small. As it is, a lot of people probably won't have arrived anyway. I put in on my calendar back when it was first announced.

 

[Disney at Heart]

Suggestion: Someone who WILL have a car who is planning to do yoga can post where they are staying and could offer to transport “friends.” I’m not doing Princess, but if I were, I could have 4 other people ride with me in my car. And I think Uber and Lyft DO run early in Orlando because I have seen others post that people have used them for transportation from their hotels during runDisney events, but they suggest you book early.

Question for you all: which hotel out of all of them screams the most “princess” themed to you besides the obvious princess rooms?

Grand Floridian! I mean, Come on! Closely followed by Polynesian for the Moana theming now

 

[bumbershoot]

I'll have a car, so assuming I am able to register for yoga, I'm happy to take 2 people, since my cousin says she wants to do it too. I'm staying at Beach Club Villas.

(I'm getting in on the 22nd-ish, so we can even meet up ahead of time so we all know we aren't, as a friend once said, "big galoots" LOL)

I love POR's royal rooms, but Grand Floridian villas make me feel like a princess.

 

[alon86]

Anyone staying at the Riviera on 2/24 who might have a car and wants to carpool to TTC for yoga?

I really want to do the yoga, but I’m not renting a car for that day. Uber and Lyft will probably be available, but what if they’re not? So stressful!
