Is anyone staying at Pop?

Starting to get super excited!

I am at Pop! Your costume is super cute

Hi guys I just tried messaging everyone going to the Kona meet up but I am not sure I didn't miss anyone. If I missed you, please message me immediately so I can copy you the message of an idea I have. Thanks!

Yikes, here it is 3:41am and I had my first PHM nightmare! It was so real and I guess the stress has hit me. I haven't run since Sat, but I hope the body and adrenaline will kick in. Oh boy. 😳

But it was about being a "Perfect Princess", the are 324 of us. It said they wanted to crown me for the weekend and a was a member of the "Royal Club".
So it was pretty cool..324 5-peat runners out of the original 6000.

Hope all the weather doesn't mess up all the travel plans.

Ohh that is so fun Joan. Please let us know how they treat the "Perfect Princesses". I hope you have a great weekend!

About an hour later I saw the meetup was posted and after hyperventilating a little managed to get a quick e-mail sent in at 5:38am. And, I got in! I am super excited, and extremely grateful for this opportunity but I'm really nervous too.

As a socially awkward introvert, I worry that I'm going to be standing alone the whole time. High school flashbacks, I guess! Any advice other than to get over it?

I also wanted to thank you all for all the great advice, support and positivity you've provided here. Although I don't post much, I really have learned (and laughed) a lot over the last year!

I could tell you stories about my high school flashbacks that I have had this week. You will not be alone! I got into the meet up also. Talk about socially awkward I am going to this race solo!. I will be wearing a green sparkle skirt, I am short and not all that thin. See you there!!!!

Hey NE Princesses-- what are you all hearing about the possible storm this weekend? It sounds like we'll be able to get out Friday night, but I am worried about making it back Sunday night! If it's really 12" in Boston Saturday night - Sunday, I don't know know if they'd let us land at Logan (though we don't get back until after midnight Monday AM). Because of work, I don't think we can go to the race if we can't get back.... Aaaahhh!

I'm flying out of Logan Saturday morning at 6 am. If I am stuck I will be pitching a minor hissy fit (but not really). I really hope Saturday night means Saturday night!

Nooooo!!!! Sorry for all the princesses (and princes)that are impacted by this storm. You've all worked so hard and don't need this added stress.

I am not a fan of this storm moving through the midwest. My mom is flying out mid-day Friday and while I think her airport will be OK by then, I'm not so sure about the roads on the 2 hour drive from her house to the airport. Really wish she would just go down today, but I guess if we have to rebook her to Saturday, then so be it. Good luck to everyone impacted by this storm and I hope there are minimal issues with regards to it affecting anyone's travel. Hopefully everyone is able to get out ahead of it.

What is a "perfect princess"? Just wondering how you got selected. Congratulations and I hope you share your experience with us!

To all of the Princess runners and walkers

I just wanted to wish you all good luck at Disney! I have followed you all this past year. You have worked hard. It is now time to reap the rewards of all of your training. You can do it.
