You did so awesome! Loving your trip report. I did the Princess Half in 2010 and this brought back soooo many memories!
Ahh thank you!! My first half marathon was the Princess in 2022. I loove Princess weekend and want to do it again. After I did Princess and I was able to run 13 miles I was like well its now or never. Lets keep going and try for my first marathon.You did so awesome! Loving your trip report. I did the Princess Half in 2010 and this brought back soooo many memories!
Thank U!Congratulations! Thank you for sharing your experience.
Thank you!I really enjoyed reading your trip report. Congrats on the marathon. Thanks for sharing all the great pics!
Yeah!!! You will not regret it!!Congratulations!! This looks like so much fun! I've been thinking about doing a runDisney race, and this report has convinced me, it looks like a blast! Thank you for sharing your experience!
I also saw the balloon ladies as I exited AK last year. Too close for comfort! But some of the pics with the wildlife was way cool. And amen on the miles from hell from there through the BB parking lot.The best part we circle back around and they still have the animals out. This time it was a snake. Since I am not in the pacing group any more I stop and get a pic with the snake. Who else gets to say they petted a snake during a marathon?!

As I run back out of AK u can see all the people going into AK and that is when I see the the infamous balloon ladies!

For those who do not know they keep the offical 16 min pace and if u fall behind them you are in danger of getting swept. They are very nice ladies though.

A long stretch of highway just to get to parking lot of hell also called Blizzard parking lot. We run around in a circle in it. It is ridiculous. We do not even get to go into Blizzard water park. I was not feeling the magic miles at this point. I did not really take pics and just put my head down and focused on putting one foot in front of the other.

Do it! Best place to run a race.Congratulations!! This looks like so much fun! I've been thinking about doing a runDisney race, and this report has convinced me, it looks like a blast! Thank you for sharing your experience!
I felt the same way but I had to remind myself they are still multiple miles behind me.I also saw the balloon ladies as I exited AK last year. Too close for comfort! But some of the pics with the wildlife was way cool. And amen on the miles from hell from there through the BB parking lot.
Chocolate mountain in HS was great. I took what they handed me and was too tired to think to ask for another.
Good write ups.
Yeah thank u and yes I think it was around then. Finishing with a maragarita is soo much fun u should soo try it.This was so much fun to read! It was also fun meeting you around mile 16 or so (if I remember correctly) and chatting for a minute before you took off with your pace group. Next year I want a margarita at the finish line!
Thank u!Loved the TR! I love reading about everyone's race experiences and reliving the weekend, it was truly unforgettable!
So true!! That was such a long walk, lol.Thanks for sharing your experience. I loved it all. And don't be hard on yourself for tired legs and feet. You had already done 26+miles that morning (because the walk to the corrals is LONG). You get to be tired.
