So funny you saw me again on the course! Your pictures are GREAT! Glad you got the Beast, esp. after we missed him at BoG in January. Gaston was great this time - he said he loved seeing his reflection in my friends sunglasses, and his reaction to me as Rosita was "I don't know what that even means!"
Hilarious.
You got allll the character pics, right?? Gaston is always a great meet!
Your mushu and Daisy pictures are awesome. I love Mushu's action pose, and the matching topiary, lol.
Hope to see you at Tink!
Most definitely! Can't believe it's less than 2 months away!!
Love the pics from the Half!! I'm rare character obsessed and love to see all the super rare characters and outfits!
Me too! I think my rarest meet so far is Professor Ludwig von Drake. That was during the marathon in 2012. Oh, and Flora, Fauna and Merryweather during the 2011 Princess Half!
Great photos, gret race report, and Donald's outfit at the finish is toooo cute!!
I knooooow!! He is the cutests!!
Loved your report! I have been dying to do one of the races and FINALLY got my DH to say he would do one with me. It's my 40th birthday present. We decided on the Star Wars 5K 2018. Your report really let me know how the races work and what to expect. Thanks for writing!
Thanks for reading! That’s an awesome birthday gift from your husband!
Great job on the half and well done even with some struggles in training. Per the usual, you got some fantastic shots. I've not seen the Beast in that outfit before I don't think. He looked very spiffy. Princess Daisy is so pretty in her finery. And, Donald at the finish line!!! I've never seen that outfit either. Too bad you couldn't stop for a shot, but yes, I get why they can't do that. At least you got a good high-five picture. Congrats!!
Yeah, I don’t think I have either. I remember it as a lighter blue with yellow accents, not the darker blue with gold that I saw that day. Spiffy indeed!
Here’s a better shot of Donald’s outfit – from Princess Half in 2011. And fat me and Princess Craiggy!
Okay I caught up! Wow a 4AM DME pick up? That's crazy.
Love all of the character meets you did! And dis meets are really fun too!
Definitely never seen Captian Phoebus out.
wow that photo on the over pass where you see all those people is crazy!
I don't know if I've ever seen daisy in that outfit.
Gospel Choir means you made it! Even with some struggles along the way it sounds like you persevered.
Congrats on the entire race weekend!
Yes, 4AM! Apparently she got a crazy good deal on her flight, so yay?
It was a really good weekend overall. I wish I had been in better shape for it but at least I finished the races!!
Yay!! Congratulations! This recap has definitely made me want to give Princess weekend another go! I loooove your picture with princess Daisy! I would die for that one! And Mushu and Beats pics were pretty cool too!
I'm trying to remember how I snagged a picture with a royal Mickey at the finish line last year. Maybe they changed the policy? Or maybe I just unwittingly broke the rules? haha I have the worst memory and can't recall how it all went down.
I'm glad I don't have to wait too long to live vicariously through you for another rD weekend. Tink will be here before you know it!
Oh also, I bought the zen skirt (and the rose hoodie- eek!!). I'm super excited for them to arrive!
Oh I would totally do Princess weekend again! I went into this thinking it would be my last one but I really enjoyed it! I guess experiences can vary though!
I think they changed the policy. I definitely used to get finish line pictures with the characters at pretty much every race. It must have become an issue for them…I guess it makes sense, but boo!!
Yay for some INK!! I hope you love what you got! I ended up having to go up a size in the Rose Hoodie becaue the arms were tight on me, but I love it now that I figured that out!
Great race reports as usual!!
I tried Via Napoli for the first time on a non-run trip a few weeks ago. So yummy! I have been missing out; definitely will try to get this into more regular rotation.
Your Mushu shot is great! I have never met him, but he's my dog's namesake so I need to fix that!
Thanks! Yes isn’t VN the best?? So good!!
You definitely need to make a Mushu shot happen!!
