It’s crazy for me to think its finally here! In the back of my mind, I keep reminding myself of all I have to accomplish before we leave on Thursday and it almost stresses me out. Thankfully, most of my packing is complete (that’s one less thing to worry about)!
This week, I’ve been drinking coffee every morning out of my Princess Half Marathon mug from 2012! I might even hold my pinky up like a Princess while doing so…..or maybe I’m just kidding…
Coffee just tastes better from a Disney mug! :0)
This weekend (and last night), my mom and I spent our time putting the finishing touches on my costume for the Half Marathon. I’m so grateful my mom knows how to sew and is willing to help me out with my crazy projects! It all turned out great. I have one final thing to place and it will be complete!
Here’s a piece I made for my costume – I’m just not yet sure where I’m going to put it.
Just one bite, my dear!
Our plans for the weekend include:
- A stay at this beautiful resort, Port Orleans Riverside. This is also where Jason and I stayed for our Honeymoon, so it holds a special place in my heart. :0)
Dinner Reservations:
- Ohana
- Garden Grill
- Trail’s End
- Crystal Palace
Our Fast Pass + reservations are complete and we are already checked in to our resort online! Now I’m praying for a safe trip there and we will be all set!
Oh yes, and one little thing I didn’t mention…
Following the Princess Half Marathon Weekend, we are boarding the Disney Magic for a cruise!
You can bet I’m going to also run the Castaway Cay 5K, too! I ran it back in 2009 and I’m looking forward to seeing the changes since then (I know there’s been a lot)!
Disclaimer: I have several people watching my house. So you better watch out if you are thinking of doing something crazy….just sayin.
Here’s a few last minute weekend reminders:
- Princess Half Marathon Meet-ups – Come out and meet up with your favorite runDisney friends! I’m planning on attending the RunnersLove meet-up and crossing my fingers it all works for me to make it there in time!
- Packing: For travel WITH a flight; for travel WITHOUT a flight. There’s also lots of great packing lists online – Google “Race Packing List” and lots of options appear!
Last but not least, if you’re running Princess, I hope you have a wonderful time in the happiest place on earth! See you soon, Princesses! :D
Are you attending any meet-ups this weekend? If so, which ones?
How fun to go on a cruise post race. I loved doing that after the Dopey Challenge, although it wasn't a Disney cruise!
ReplyDeleteI agree, cruising post race is a nice way to recuperate and relax! :0) I thought of you last night when I was putting this blog post together!

DeleteOK now I'm jealous. A Disney cruise?! Talk about a some quality recovery time... and what a better recovery run than the Castaway Cay 5K. Disney World, Disney cruise, two Disney races... Sounds like the perfect trip to me. : )

ReplyDeleteI definitely agree! Safe travels, hope to see you soon!! :0)
DeleteWe are planning on attending the #runnerslove meet up on Friday too! What fun to go on a Disney cruise after the races! I can't wait to hear all about it. I'm so excited for you!
ReplyDeleteYAY! I sure hope to see y'all!
DeleteHave a great time at both Princess and the cruise! And yes, coffee does taste better in a Disney mug! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Kim!
DeleteI'm hoping one day to go on a Disney Cruise!
ReplyDeleteI stayed at POR the last 3 years, but this year I'm staying at Swan & Dolphin! Hopefully I will "run" into you somewhere during the weekend.
Yes, that would be great! I've never stayed at S&D but I've heard great things. Have a fabulous weekend!! :0)
DeleteHave so much fun on the Disney Cruise! I hear they're amazing!
ReplyDeleteI'm not packed yet and we leave tomorrow. Oops - I'm so last minute, all the time!
Have a wonderful time at PHM! I might try and get to the Mickey Miles Podcast MeetUp, b/c its the only one that flexes with my schedule. If I don't bump into you, GOOD LUCK!!!
I so hope we run into each other somewhere!! Safe travels! :0)
