Disney's Princess Half Marathon Weekend

[Figment82]

Moana was for the kids’ races last year, so she was still a part of the event - she just got a nice promotion.

No shoe ornament??!!!!!! That's always been the best part of the weekend bundle.

I almost forgot about early registration. Good luck to all registering for their Princess events early!

 

[LAKid53]

And registration opened early, so I'm in line for when it officially opens, lol.

I think I've decided against Princess Weekend, because I'm planning on doing all the races for the other three Disney Weekends and the Princess weekend falls a week after another Half Marathon and a week before Myrtle Beach Marathon, so adding this one might be a bit much for me to juggle with time from work.

However, I'm in the queue and have 32 minutes to change my mind!

It's the lure of that Tinkerbell costume isn't it? And I've got wings you can use.

16 more minutes until I punish my credit card, lol.

Trying to continue to payment and the screen just slowly scrolls up and stops. Is the 5k sold out?

Website says no

I've had that happen before for two reasons: 1) the website is inundated and just takes a couple of tries to process, or 2) I forgot to check a box for something like shirt size or emergency contact while registering. Hope you make it through!

 

[Surferboy567]

A little late but good luck to all registering for Princess today!

As of now, all the events were still showing availability. Will be interesting to see if this takes the usual Princess route of quick sellout, or hangs on like the other recent events.

By randomly assigning queue spots they make sure you don't gain a benefit from clicking Register first, as long as you are waiting before the official open. Makes it fairer I think.

Weird that they are holding sunrise yoga back.

Maybe waiting to see how registrations go and Florida numbers?

I don't think thats it. Easier to distance with yoga than in corrals for a race. Everything being open 35 minutes in is surprising too.

True. But why wait?

Let people actually get into the race so know they will be there? It would suck to get the yoga registered, but not the race. (Even though I think doing yoga by the castle would be cool regardless)

I get that, but why not let you add it to your registration? Such as have an option for the races without yoga and one with?
