I approached the 2014 Princess Half Marathon with some trepidation. I was going for the Glass Slipper Challenge – I completed the Enchanted 10k on Saturday and as I approached the starting area of the Princess Half Marathon on the monorail I had some concerns as I had never done a back to back race like this. It was warm and humid again, I had hydrated all week in preparation. We ate at Ohana and feasted on protein and carbs the night before. I LOVED my Maleficent attire and of course I would be with friends – so I was a ready as I could be at that moment. Our group theme was Villains and Good Guys – we had Snow White, Rapunzel and Mother Gothel, Zurg and Buzz Lightyear, The Red Queen and Alice, Maleficent and Aurora, Ursula and and Cruella represented. Here we are getting silly before the race.
Thanks Bonnie for the photo, from left to right my DisBroad Pals Bonnie, Patty, Me, Tania, Amy, Shannon, Kristen, Wendy and Suzanne. |
My roomies and I arrived at the Epcot parking lot later than planned whoops, so we missed meeting up with all the DisBroads – sorry y’all, but luckily we caught MOST of them as we headed to the starting Corrals on that LONG walk.
2/3 of my Roomies, truly I hang with some fun peeps! Tania and Shannon and Me. |
We took a couple photos then split up. I headed to the Port-o-Potties alone but would be meeting Patty in Corral H. The other faster broads we be in corrals ahead of us. The lines for the port o potties were kind of long, and lucky for me I had some Kleenex, cuz the one I used was out of toilet paper. The funny thing, they were on a hill and kind of slanted so that you were leaning BACK, which was interesting.
Zurg and Malificent await the start. |
Found Patty and our plan was to take it super easy – intervals of 30 second run with 45 second walk. The race started, fireworks at each corral and we waited our turn, time between start corrals went fairly quickly and before I new it we were off in the fog.
The first stretch of the race not to bad, and yep a mile or so in Patty had to go potty, so we went about 2 miles I think until we saw some with not too bad of a line. The first couple sets of potties we saw crazy lines. Something new this year, the Bathroom Attendant..they had a volunteer directing runners to the open port o lets, um not a job I would like. Before we hit mile 2, the winner of the race came booking by on the other side of the road. Really she was incredible to watch – she finished in record time too. She was way ahead or runner #2.
We passed the usual Pirates, Heroes, Lightening McQueen, Villains and I noticed something…seems like the lines for everything was LONG….Bathrooms, Characters… really I was like wow long lines this year and nothing new. It was super foggy though, but I will say the new Corral System was working quite nicely I had plenty of room.
Eerie Morning for sure! |
I LOVED the drummers, and as we went on the first hill under the waterway by the Contemporary and I was feeling OLD as I had no idea WHAT song the DJ was playing….but there was LOTS of energy going on that hill.
Yep its a little tight and there is one lane of traffic…do NOT cross the cones, a Princess was hit last year by a car. |
Stopped by the Contemporary Resort to say Hey to some other fairies from Sleeping Beauty who recognized Malificent’s greatness so of course I had to get a photo. They were so nice, what a fun group of chEARleaders and um, you think the kids have had enough yet?
Thanks Fairies for the fun photo! Carry on kids with your devices before I put you to sleep. |
As we approached the entrance to Magic Kingdom, Space Mountain appeared to be in a fog. Patty commented “Are you going to be able to see the castle in our castle photo?”, important for us, you know we are all about the photos and truth be told there was an eerie-ness to the morning, which had me so happy in a villainous way.
Magic Kingdom was crowded wtih chEARleaders and runners, but we had fun. We stopped and wandered over the bathrooms at the Tomorrowland Terrace and there was NO wait, but you know its a bit of a walk over there. We came back out on the course just before the hub and chatted with the Medics and took some photos. For some reason this year, I was thanking the medics and police, I must have said “Thanks for keeping us safe” dozens of time….
chEAR Squad and Families on the Left, Runners On the Right. |
Patty headed to Buzz and I headed to the castle entrance running about as fast as I could in the crowd. I heard someone tell me to slow down and enjoy the scenery and it was one of my ATLrunsDisney buddies – fun to see your friends show up on the course. I was on a mission. Passed the White Rabbit and saw the line for Mickey and Minnie…which was actually longer than it appeared as some of it was hidden. Barely moved. Patty caught up to me and someone behind us asked a Cast Member how long it was taking, he estimated from where we were 20 minutes… AND so it was decided to ditch the line. Again, a photo not meant to be so I selfied (is that a word yet?). My castle moments documented below: Royal Selfie, Trumpeters Playing theme from Rocky, A MARRIAGE PROPOSAL AND of course, our Bad Ass Villain photo.
The Castle is where all the magic happens…OK some of it. You can see the view as you come out behind the newly engaged couple. Hey Congrats y’all! |
You want an official castle photo? Remember as you exit the castle tunnel, veer left for the long line. It moves people and MAKE SURE your number is showing unlike me above. Luckily Patty had this one and its my favorite castle shot yet.
We ran by Tiana another repeat from the day before, and Woody which Patty said no thanks to. Crossed the railroad tracks as we exited Magic Kingdom and saw a VERY long line for Snow White and her Prince on the parade float, again we said no thanks and kept on moving.
I had the cutest Aurora come up and ask to have a photo made, AWWW…she was in the perfect outfit too. Nice job Briar Rose. Oh you can also see out my wing-age and tulle cape – just a little sumpin’ sumpin’ to make me stand out from the rest of the Malificents.
Nice outfit A! Thanks for the photo…and yep, LOVE my Cocogo Shirt! |
Two things I LOVED about this area just outside the park this year. 1. They put mats on top of the metal grates…those grates are on the road just as you exit and tough on feet. Thanks runDisney for that! 2. As I reached to grab a water at the water stop, a nice young man dropped to one knee, handing me my water and asked if I would marry him. THAT made me smile and I am bummed I didn’t capture that moment for all eternity and his embarrassment – total blogger fail on my part. I remember after this Jolly Holiday Mary Poppins was along the route as was Mrs Incredible. We passed both.
Next thing you know we are on the one lane road I can’t stand on the course, but pass the 1/2 way point…..Let It Go from Frozen was the song chosen.
A princess could kill herself getting this photo….Its one lane and tight. Sorry for anyone I bumped moving right to left. |
This is my LEAST favorite part of the course as its one lane. The other lane is for emergency vehicles, but some runners think the cones don’t apply to them – and for the first time this year, I saw several people running in the emergency vehicle lane. Oh and its crowded back there – can ya see it?
These kids were so cute with some of my favorite race signs – and you can see the line and set up for Lilo and Stitch behind them:
Girls, I am going as fast as I can, roads will open up again soon! |
We trudged along and I had noticed something on my backside miles earlier. I was chafing and yep I knew it would be bad. TMI, it was my panty line….I had not run in those panties before. WHAT WAS I THINKING! Poor Patty had to listen to me complain about my chapped a$$ and I just TRIED to forget about it but hey we had a sense of humor when we saw this sign.
Seriously, people don’t try new clothing come race day. |
Around mile 10 we saw the “Parade Bus” (sweeper bus) parked and there was some activity with police cars around it. I knew we were OK time wise though we were taking our own sweet time. My heart dropped when I saw the bus, knowing so many behind us would not make it to the finish on their own. Really the character lines and port o potty lines were so long, and there were LOTS of people behind us. Then the bus moved a little, thus freaking me out. “Run, Patty, Run!” I said, she wisely told me to calm down …I mean we were safe, time wise and we hadn’t seen the balloon ladies nor were they in view. But the bus would drive a little and we would bust it until the bus stopped and take a walk break. Then the bus drove a little more. BUT it finally stopped. After we calmed down we knew we would be OK, but we were worried about April.
Two princesses are looking at me like I am crazy for the Bus Photo….. Carry On ladies. |
We did see my roomie and friend Laura in line for the Heroes, so yes we jumped in line with her.
I was THRILLED to see Hercules and as I told him, “So happy to see you here this year”, he replied “As am I to see you, even though we are opposing forces”.
Seriously, Herc made the other heroes look wimpy! LOVED HIM. |
Shortly after this, we came across DisBroad April for about the 4th time. She is expecting and was having a hard time, her back was hurting and she was tired from the 10k the day before. Seriously, she is one tough DisBroad was determined to finish on her own strength. She is one of the speedy DisBroads and she was walking. We asked her if she wanted us to walk with her and she said to go on she would be OK. Her resolve to finish was really inspiring. We would see her and then stop and she would pass us and we would pass her again. Her Buzz wings made it easy to spot her – love those costume props!
Zurg and Buzz! Love the Buzz her wing-age. |
We conquered the hill with Sarge who was super sassy this year “If you are not in line for a photo with me, you better be running. This is NOT a walk-a-thon”.
Hey thanks Cocogo, for my Ambassador shirt BTW. LOVE IT! |
Once again as we got on the bridge we looked for Buzz Lightyear wings and balloons…we saw neither, but we did see ALOT of princesses and my heart kind of dropped a little again. There were princesses behind us as far as the eye could see.
The approach to Epcot was hilly, I always forget this, well hilly for Orlando. We were taking it easy, just because well we could LOL. We saw some people cut though the cones at one out and back which seriously, why sign up and cut the course short? I get it if you are in total pain and all, but this made me a little sad too.
The last hill SUCKS. Its banked and there is very little grass next to it, but we made it up. This part of the race though, is truly the best. Speedy princesses are driving out of the parking lot on the other side of the road and honking and cheering you on. Thanks so much to those of you who gave us a honk or “Go Princess Go!”
Just before entering Epcot, we saw our friend Peggy Sue….who is just amazing. She is no complete stranger to us – but isn’t she just the best.
Peggy Sue, you rock! Thanks for the affirmation. |
For my Hey Girl fangirl, got a photo of this sign that I loved. Major props Team In Training!
NICE SIGN TNT! And way to raise $$ to try to cure cancer too. |
After a photo with Sofia the first, we came to the last parade bus we saw JUST as you were entering into Epcot. I hope they don’t sweep anyone there, but I guess they might as it was positioned to pull across the street.
Does Patty have enough bracelet action going on there? |
Patty gave the thumbs up and a Princess next to us asked us “Does this mean we are safe?” – we look all knowledgeable you know We told her yes and entered the last stretch into Epcot as if we were touring park guests. Really I should have gotten a Mickey Pretzel, ordered a Latte and made some FastPass+ changes on a kiosk. We took it slow since we were looking for April. I got my photo with this Fairy….y’all WHO.IS.SHE?
No really, I need a story on this Pink Lady! |
Then we did the down and back to World Showcase and again saw a few princesses cutting here too… What is with that? We waited at the end of the back and got our photo made by Spaceship Earth as if we were just Park Tourists using our Magic Bands for Photos…..
Running with Patty is the best…really she’s my fave Internet Stalker. |
Chatted with the medics……..
Seriously, thanks to ALL the volunteers who make this race possible AND those who keep us safe! |
And ran into DisBroad Summer…… HEY GIRL!
Yep, end of the race and THERE’s SUMMER! |
We were ready to be done, I heard Hallelujah and was happy to sing with the Gospel choir…..
Really BEST part of the Half Marathon! Love these singers. |
AND headed to the Finish. I was going to TRY to get a photo with Minnie…a run by if you will, um NOPE I was told to move on. Yep so quickly this is the photo…once again Royal Minnie eludes me.
Seriously…I just wanted to stop like a SECOND..Goofy hugged me at finish once, whatever. |
I had the sads but as we crossed the finish line being denied my Minnie Photo and all, but I got cheered on by runDisney Mom’s Panelist Faith Dority who I met a couple times during the weekend.
Y’all she is SO nice, and then Carrissa announced “and here comes Malificent finishing the race!”. Thanks Carissa for the shout-out to the crowd.
Moved to the finish and we got the same finish box as at the 10k, fine by me. AND I saw a friend doing the medals, so I had my medal given to me by the most awesome meetup stalking buddy Jen. Really to get my medal by someone I know… the best!
SHE KNOWS ME. Jen is the best! |
THEN I got my GLASS SLIPPER MEDAL! After heading back to the room, a soak in the hot tub and a shower, NO better place to celebrate than in Mexico with your BRF.
Really my favorite bling ever. |
It just doesn’t get any better than this. |
I had a blast and while I went in thinking this is my last Princess Half, UM NO IT IS NOT. The weekend is just too much fun and while crowded in a few certain spots, I do love this race.
This post has been long enough so more later on my Glass Slipper Challenge thoughts. If you missed my 10k Recap, its HERE.

Beth Green says
What a fabulous recap! I did the full in 2003 and half in 2008. This post makes me want to attempt to run again and try the Princess half!! I love the pictures and stories to go along. I too would like more info on “Ivana Dream!” never heard of her!! Is she Disney??
Tania says
I missed this recap! Norovirus… This was a great weekend! I love seeing different perspectives on the same race! We need to pick a race and have a DisBroads reunion every year. There. It has been decided.
Lynn says
Awesome recap!!!! I’m no runner at all but you seriously made me want to get off the couch and get moving! These races always sound like to much fun.
Julie Franklin says
Thanks Lynn! They really are. I don’t thinkk I would be running if it wasn’t for runDisney!
Frontierland Station says
Love seeing all those costumes! They are so creative!
Julie Franklin says
Thanks…its a perk of a disney race, dress up for fun!
Dancing to the Finish Line says
Love the costumes and the photos – you ladies sure know how to have fun during a race! Goofy was out when I crossed the finish line, and I was simply trying to get a photo as I ran by and they were pretty snappy with me too about moving along…so sad!
Julie Franklin says
Yeah I get it they don’t want to clog up the finish line, but its buzz kill in a way…. well until runDisney Mom Faith cheers you on and you hear Carissa announce your character to the crowd. 🙂 Thanks we love having fun and dressing the part since we will not win or place. runDisney is so much fun.
Meridith says
This was so amusing and fun to read! And dude, WHY DO THEY HAVE CHARACTERS AT THE FINISH if not to snap a quick picture??? 😉 Love this recap and it makes me even more excited to run Dumbo Double Dare.
Julie Franklin says
Oh I was physically but gently guided away….I get they are their to cheer you on, and I saw the crazy line in Fantasyland, but man I was disappointed. I mean I don’t want to stand in the parking lot lines when I am done LOL. Thanks it ws fun, we really had a blast. Nothing like running with your BRF.
Amy Zellers says
Congratulations to you! I can’t even imagine running the event. It looks so much fun, but I can’t even run a mile without stopping!! Thanks for giving me a glimpse at what it would be like to be there!
Julie Franklin says
Amy its all about building up the stamina…I do intervals, run then walk…we did 30 sec run and 45 sec walk….if I try to run straight I get SO bored. I am actually faster too with the intervals……. but love showing spectators the race course. Really do appreciate the spectators! Thanks!
Lisa @ homeiswherethemouseis says
Congrats on your Glass Slipper Challenge! I loved reading your recap. I just signed up to do the Wine and Dine in November and I am nervous. But your recap gives both me inspiration and hope! Thanks for sharing your experience.
Julie Franklin says
Thanks Lisa. I love my runDisney races! I loved the W&D course, it was so much fun. The thing you need to do is just follow some kind of training and you will be fine. You can do it…and will have a blast too!
Lorelei Ketcherside says
I want to SO much. I hate when I see people cutting the race short. Just seriously!
Did you ever figure out who the pink fairy was?
Julie Franklin says
All I know is her name is Ivanna Dream….. she was a riot though. I need a back story. Give the race a try, I mean YES its CRAZY crowded in just a couple spots and well you get 20,000 princesses together, might be some crankiness or drama BUT really its so much fun. I never saw anyone cutting short OR crossing the cones til this year. For heavens sake a lady got hit by a car last year, that is NO secret…sometimes you just have to slow down people! OK off soap box….I do love this race.
Karen Seal says
Loved the recap, Julie!! Great job on the half marathon…sounds like y’all really had a great time with the race!
People cutting cones…what the heck?! I haven’t seen that one yet but I have no words.
That Mickey and Minnie line in MK…OMG forever long! I didn’t wait in it, either! You saw a proposal how sweet!!!
Loved y’all’s costumes! So cute!
I took a pic with that pink lady too but have no idea who she is! Too funny!
Thanks for the fun recap…again, congrats to you!!
Julie Franklin says
The proposal had JUST happened and they were SO cute. The were off to the side too, not blocking the walkway…nice job groom to be. Glad you enjoyed it! I really had a blast with Patty, I mean we go in saying, lets just have fun and we always do. The cone cutting never saw til this year, that had me sad. I mean doesn’t affect my race and I really try not to judge, but still makes me wonder. HOLY COW that line for Mickey and Minnie, seems like the first year I was there one side was Mickey and Minnie and one side was cindy, so broke down the line. I do think there were less characters in the MK this year and the um repeats from 10k too….but still fun times.
Kristen Smith says
Your outfit was EPIC – I loved this race, even though I didn’t see you for most of it! Looks like you and Patty had an awesome time 🙂
Julie Franklin says
Aw thank K, I was all about the horns…they were pretty awesome….. but confession, I didn’t have them on the whole time. Didn’t want to overheat! It was so much fun this year, so glad to be with all my DisBroad friends.
Allyson says
I loved reading this! I was so sad to defer this year but all the DisBroad posts made it so much easier. Your photos are awesome, as always. I hate that the lines were so long–that’s always my biggest fear with runDisney events. Do you know if a lot got swept?
Julie Franklin says
I have no idea about sweeping, I think I heard 24000 registered, 19000 finsihed…so not sure how many of that was no shows. I will say that when we were on the backside the potty lines and character lines were still super long to which Patty and I discussed it a couple times how much our hearts hurt for those who would not be able to finish on their own. I mean its so brave to attempt a half when you are on the slow slide…and the humidity OYE….being ATL person I know I HAVE to slow down and well if you started in the last corral, you didn’t have much wiggle time if you were on the bubble of minimum pace. We did FINALLY see the balloon ladies as they entered the down and back for World Showcase, but really we were lingering SO long looking for April, I was thinking someone might tell us to go ahead and get going LOL. thanks for the blog love, I just try to really enjoy racing and sharing the experience with those who don’t run or are wannabe runners. I think there were less characters this year too…… but man, those lines were pretty nutty.
April Shuping says
Great recap. I was hoping our dirty look girls were the same, but they sure did have the same expression. What a fun weekend, I’m going to be so sad next year when I skip for Gaspiralla! Hopefully crazy costumes are welcomed there too! And OMG on the undies chafing. I had that on a little three mile run last week and thought I was going to die. You’re a trooper for making it through a half with “that problem”.
Julie Franklin says
Yeah it started well before the Magic Kindgom…maybe mile 3. On the back end of the race if there was a bathroom I would have taken them off but didn’t want to do that in a stinky Port O pottie and really the lines were so long. Lesson learned. I am sure Gasparilla will be a blast too.
Summer I says
You ladies always have so much fun!! I was so happy to see you out there! Even if it was only for a short time.
The picture lines were out of control! I did not stop for a single one, and I did see the balloon ladies at mile 10 when I was on the overpass, and they were coming down the hill at mile 11 when I was hitting that last overpass before heading into Epcot so I think I made the right choice not stopping.
Julie Franklin says
Yep….. I agree. I think if we had stopped for mickey and minnie we would have been pushing the back end of the race and it was so humid no need for that LOL. Great seeing you Summer!
Angie says
It sounds like you had a great time! This was my first half marathon and first Disney run. I felt a little out of place running alone because it seemed like everyone was there with a group of friends. I need to find some running friends to make the race experience even better.
I ended up with some serious chafing issues on my thighs thanks to the humidity.
Julie Franklin says
I did have a blast. I ran my first one alone and still had a blast, but I do think if you can find a friend to hang with it makes the experience that much more the better…plus you get some fun photos. Oh that chafing I am usually a crazy woman with the body glide and Skin STrong spray, but I did NOT use it on my pantyline where I got it BAD. I will say, no other issues which is good cuz I sweat like crazy. I have found I have to wear shorts that stay down to avoid the thigh rub and LOVE my Sparkle Skirts for this very reason. I do hope you found it magical though Angie, I do love runDisney races
Suzanne says
Loved your recap! It looks like you all had so much fun! Love, loback for dure!ck Love your pics! Sad ti be missing Princess next year but I will be back for sure! So glad to get DisBroad time in.
Julie Franklin says
Thanks it was truly a fun weekend! Loved every second. I know I will be sad to not be there ….
krystal says
I loved your recap, but why so rushed?! I was in J and I did a lot of math to figure out exactly how much time I would have for pictures. Royal minnie and mickey were a 22 minute wait, but there was a woman in front of me in the line whose friend was in corral N. Her friend was at mile marker 4 and no balloon ladies in sight. It was a huge help asking others where their friends were. I spent 45 minutes taking pictures and not a balloon lady in sight-ever! Reading blogs put the fear of balloons in me for sure. I did skip heroes both times. Insane lines, I tell ya! I agree that the soldier was awesome! I told him that my brother was being deployed for a 3rd time and he announced that he wanted everybody to clap for him. I was in tears and it really made my race. I was running alone and this was only my second half, but I had an absolute blast. It makes me think that people who were miserable had some unrealistic expectations. I was smiling the entire time and I found that the other runners around me were generally very friendly. There was always somebody asking if they could take my picture. I swear I thought that the pink lady in epcot was Kathy griffin but I didn’t want to be heckled. I read somewhere that she is “Ivanna Dream”, but I can’t find any other videos of her. She was a hoot for sure! As far as your butt- I saw more than one person swing by the med tent for a stick of vase line and immediately ram it down while running. Super gross! The little girls with the signs that you posted were my favorites, too. They were actually yelling when I went by which rides they wanted to go on. Too cute! The only thing I did not like was the photobombing. Way too many people threw themselves in front of me at the last second right in front of the photographers. I can’t remember what time I finished, but about 20 minutes later there were still people coming in. I think that my greatest disappointment is that none of the water boys proposed to me. 😛
Julie Franklin says
Oh we weren’t rushed, we were taking it slow and Patty tends to need the facilities. We did see the Balloon ladies come into epcot while we were park touring, so they weren’t THAT far behind us. And I thought about medical but truthfully the only way I could have helped was ditching the underwear and doing that vaseline exercise you mentioned..which I wasn’t up for LOL. I learned my lesson BIG time. I did have some vaseline with me and tried to ease the pain on a couple pottie stops, but man I chafed FAST. Silly humidity. I am so glad to hear Sarge gavea shout out to your brother, truly one of the highlights of the race IMO. I do love this race, its crowded yes, but most people are so encouraging and just having fun.
Fairytales and Fitness says
I loved this race! I saw Royal Minnie at the finish line but had no idea her and Royal mickey were also by the castle too! I got a picture with the 2 of them last year during the 5K and it was one of my favorites! I have to give you props for being able to run and take all the pictures that you did. You’ve documented your journey very well!
Julie Franklin says
Thanks, I love sharing my race with others. I mean, I am not exactly a cover of Runners World, but I do like to have fun when I am out there. I love this race. Maybe I need to do a 5k to get that photo or just really book it to Magic Kingdom next time, but then I wold be alone and well that is fun, but being with a friend is better.
April says
Thanks for the love!! No DisBroad gets left behind!! The lady/fairy godmother in pink’s name is Ivana Dream.
Julie Franklin says
Really April I was so worried about you, I didn’t want to say anything. You were SO inspiring to me how you just wanted to finish the race on your own terms and NO cutting the cones. I am so glad we saw you several times so we knew how you were doing…. you looked fab! And so curious now about Ivana Dream.
Jennifer K. says
I’m pretty sure the dude with the hands was in the same place for the WDW Half in January. I wonder if he ever left….hmmmm…..I don’t think I could do Princess. The constant references to all of the women as princesses would make me want to start slashing people with a sword. It just doesn’t work for me. It looks like you had a lot of fun, though. I think 99% of it is the people you’re with.
Julie Franklin says
It IS who you are with. I always try to have fun Jennifer….and really its a little LESS princess than it used to be if that makes any sense. I LOVE it. I really had so much fun.
Bonnie S. says
I hung in there too! Loved your recap and all of your photos! You are awesome! Congrats on your glass slipper!! Love me some DisBroad Julie!
Julie Franklin says
You are so sweet Bonnie. I LOVED seeing your finish too. I don’t know what I would do without my DisBroad friends!
Patty Holliday says
Oh girl- I loved this so much! I can’t wait to run with you again! This was the best. Except the sweeper bus sprints- what was up with that?! lol Love you BRF!
Julie Franklin says
Do we have fun or WHAT!?! Really, we were rockstars I forgot to mention all the Zurg Malifiencent love we got. Really I love you so much my friend….. thanks for the best weekend ever!
hildy partridge says
What a great recap!! I agree with the long lines but I have nothing to compare them to since it was my first time running. All of my pictures are the “run by” kind. No time to actually stop. Well except for the castle shot – had to stop for that!
See ya next year – I’m hoping for a C2C
Julie Franklin says
I SO am trying to figure out how I can justify the full wekeend AND PHM. #DisneyRunnersProblems. Thanks Hildy.I really had a blast, and these runDisney races are so much fun for me. Love sharing my experience with others. Hoping to see you next year!
Shannon says
I hung in! I hung in! I couldn’t stop. One of the best princess recaps I have read this year (and that includes mine!) You funny girl, you funny! Loved being there with youM
Julie Franklin says
Really I just LOVE this race so much. Its always a blast and SO MUCH FUN you were my roomie! Stick with me, and racing is fun.
