Love the 10K & Half medals!

Just got a reminder from rD that POT is due on Halloween! Don't forget to add yours if you have one!

It was nice of them to think I might have a POT.

Needing the 10 posts

OnceUponAMarathon has posted videos of the medals at the expo, and the Princess 5K has a front and back! Sebastian and Flounder are on the flip side, and it's super cute! It's the only one with a flip side.

I apologize if this has already been posted - I’m not running Princess this season, so I haven’t been following this thread.

I was checking DVC availability for one day around MW, and noticed this for Wilderness Lodge and for the Poly. I’m wondering if the Princess 10k will have a different route than normal that affects the MK resort area. It doesn’t list the 10k for MW…

I was curious and looked at many of the hotels. All of the MK area resorts and Coronado Springs show the Princess 10K traffic warning. The Boardwalk area and Swan and Dolphin don't. This'll definitely get speculation going, and I'm not sure how they could make a 10K route using EPCOT's parking lot and go by all of these resorts.

It makes me wonder if it will start at the TTC like Star Wars and Wine & Dine have done in the past. But I don’t know about Coronado.

Maybe they’re gonna start at blizzard beach

Maybe they’re gonna start at blizzard beach

I halfway considered that!

Boy we sure are quiet here! Sharing that I bought my flights and after looking around a little, decided to stay with my Pop Century reservation I made shortly after registering for the race. The bus situation and having the food court (hopefully) open in the morning are just irresistible to me for a race weekend. And we like the Skyliner. Just patiently waiting for ADRs to open up... I counted back, and am I right, if you are arriving on the Friday, your ADR day is Christmas??!! I hope I remember to do it.

This is the first race weekend I'm doing where I'd have to pay extra for photos, I don't have an AP (and I don't even think MM is included in APs anymore right?). So I'm wondering whether to costume or not. If there are no pictures, is there even a point to doing something?

You could always give your phone to the CM at the stop!

My husband's AP has photo downloads. If you want, you could give me your bib number and I can email them to you.

I booked Pop too since I'll be solo. It'll be my first race weekend on the Skyliner

I've also booked my flights - waited just a bit too long and unfortunately the original flights I wanted went way up in price. So now have flights that have less ideal timings requiring me to spend time in airport hotels on transit. It's also my first time trying out this particular flight route which will involve the world's longest (on my way there) and second longest (on my way home) nonstop commercial flights, so that might be interesting...

Currently booked at CSR Gran Destino Tower, but might change my mind and go to All Stars or Pop to save some $ or do a split stay. I really do like Pop and it's my usual "go to" resort, but I kind of want to try out something new and GDT looks like the sort of hotel and room I like!

I just got a 10k charity bib fundraising for Starlight, so I'm officially in for Princess!

 

[DisneyParrothead]

I got the costume guidelines email this morning. Must mean we're getting close

How come I never get any runDisney emails, except to remind me to sign the waiver which I can't do?

ETA: Didn't write this to sound like a spoiled child, I'm really curious why I never get any emails...

If you’re Canadian (you are, right? ) I think there are laws about stuff they’re allowed to send you.

I booked the art of animation little marina if rooms. I looked at the map and they are really far out from everything and there is only one bus stop. I know lots of runners stay at this, but how good is the bus there? Should I switch resorts? I’m doing the 5 and the 10, and I’d rather not have to hike to get to the bus.
