Princess Weekend 2023 (Feb 23-26, 2023)

[DisneyParrothead]

I officially started my Princess training today. I had a 10k last weekend and took this past week to recover. I decided to kick things off with a run/walk Peloton Disney class, which was super fun.

Apparently, the Tampa Bay Rays will be doing spring training at WWoS all through February. How could that affect the Expo?

 

[Herding_Cats]

It looks like they have away games on Saturday and Sunday. So it probably won't affect the expo at all.

Excited for my first ever princess!

My cousin and I booked our ADRs today. 60 days to go until race weekend!

My ADRs are set also. We have a group of 13.My first time booking for so many but it went well. So excited for my first 1/2 marathon and even more excited to be doing it with my siblings as its been over 35 years since we have been at Disney together.

I got my ADRs set this morning! I may add something later, but we have dinners at Frontera, Paddlefish, and Cítricos. We always like to add at least one “new-to-us” restaurant each trip. Cítricos fits the bill for that on this trip. So excited!

We got Citricos too! Saturday before the half. Haven't eaten there since Nov 2017, which was the night before our first RunDisney race!

We’re there for Monday night. I’m really looking forward to it. The menu looks great!

Just got back from WDW and what a way to kick off my serious half marathon training! I walked 8 and 9 miles two days of our trip. I've been casually running 6-8 miles the last 90 days, but I am ready to log those long runs in preparation for the Princess half! Shooting for 9 miles this Monday. I haven't run a half since late September

Turns out the wife will be in a conference on Princess weekend. Anyone have a 10k or half-marathon bib they won't be able to use?

If she can’t find any last minute pop up registration spots would she have the accessibility to commute to tampa as the Gaspirilla Distance Classic is the same weekend…

unfortunately that's not how that works...runDisney bibs are NOT transferable, so you won't be able to just take one from someone officially registered.

And if they give you a bib after they pick it up, you may get caught and both be banned from any future races.

Dang.

Dang.

Sometimes on rare occasions bibs will pop up on RunDisney or charities may have a few extras but at 8 weeks out it’s a very slim chance

Like I said Gaspirilla is always an option if she can get to tampa it’s the reason why while I stalk the princess threads every year I will never run it unless I can suck up the cost to do it virtually if they keep that option in the future and the theme is wow enough

Is anyone working out under a certain Peloton tag?? Would love to join the fun! The run/walk Disney class is on my list for this week.

I use #riderundisney !

Question, How much time should we dedicate to registering for the 5k the day before? Is there a better time of day to go too?

Mornings are busiest and take the longest. The actual process can be quite quick. But if everyone shows up first thing because there is no merch line, the wait seemed pretty long first thing at wine and dine.

 

[igrsod]

Another question, can you register on the Wednesday for the 5k race, or does it need to be the day before on the Thursday?
