I voted for Brave, too! Although, I didn't realize that the alphabets were out of order at first, so I had to go back and edit...why would RunDisney do that?

I really didn't like any of the choice but the brave one. So that got my vote!

I had it made from a woman on Etsy. My sister in law helped me come up with the saying on the top .

So cute...love the colors!

UGH....the cold I was trying to fight off finally won on Saturday. I spent the weekend trying to rest to get rid of this thing before I leave on Thursday. I'm trying every hokie home remedy suggestion that's been passed along. The most recent being honey and cinnamon on a spoon twice a day. I think tonight I'm just going to go with hot toddies and hope the whiskey kills all the germs

On the bright side, I finished up my costume last Thursday. I've really enjoyed seeing everyone else's costumes and their creativity. I think I'm posting this right....it's the Belle costume I made.



Now to go back and catch up on what's been going on with you Princesses over the weekend.

Hey all! Does anyone have a link to the meet up "blog"? I'm sorry, I don't know a thing about it, and what do you mean by, "I hope we're chosen." I'm so out of the loop this year. I have not been here enough, that's for sure... and also, I left Facebook between this year and last so I don't get to vote for the song, but I really hope it's Brave! The other choices are terrible IMHO

My costume is coming a long quite good, but unfortunately the yoga pants I need are white so I can then turn around and dye them with RIT. I guess I will try the thrift store. My theme this year is "Make it pink, make it blue" Aurora and I will be half of each color just like when Flora and Merryweather and changing the dress back and forth and it eventually ends up half of each right before Aurora gets home. It's gonna be sooooo fun! I love this race and the energy that comes off it! 6 days, AHHHHHHH


Peasant Belle, love it! That looks very comfortable. I just woke up today with a sore throat. This crazy Florida weather has had someone or another in my family sick for the past 2 months!

Does anyone know if the "I Did it" shirts are tech shirts or cotton?

Here's the front of my belle-inspired look. Here's the back. A closeup of the accessories (bondi band, earrings, ponytail holder and a beast pin for my water belt on the back). And here is the front of bf's shirt, and the back!
Be sure to say hi if you recognize us and let me know if these links don't work

adorable!!

They've been cotton in all the races I've done so far.

Ugh! Finally got my FIRST RunDisney email this morning. I deferred from last year so they must be just now catching up with me!

It says that the Expo will not allow parking or drop offs and that if you were planning on driving, you need to catch a dedicated bus from Downtown Disney. But what if you're staying on the property at a resort? I'm staying at OKW and was wondering if each resort will have shuttles, like they've done in the past, or if everyone has to go to DTD?????

Please help!

[Mamasmurf227]

LOVE all the costumes! Great job, everyone! I am running in my Swirly Purple Sparkleskirt, a purple shirt and a tiara visor. I feel so under dressed.

Host resorts will have dedicated busses to expo and races. You only need to take the bus from DTD if you are staying off property or are local.

Many thanks! Just now seeing that on the RunDisney site too. Duh!

Any reason to rush to the Expo first thing Friday morning? I'm not interested in a D&B purse...is there anything else that sells out quickly? Pins or shirts or jackets? We're planning to be at the Studios on Friday and I was going to "sneak away" to the Expo.
