runDisney Princess Half Marathon Weekend Merchandise

February 17, 2016

Are you going to the Princess Half Marathon this weekend? One of the best parts of the weekend besides the races is the shopping!  The expo opens on Thursday at 10:00 a.m. at ESPN Wide World of Sports.

The Disney Parks Blog released some previews of some of the race merchandise that will be offered. Every time I attend the race weekend I am sure to pick up a magnet, a sweaty band and a wine glass or tumbler if there are any left.

I really like this purple sweatshirt hoodie shown above  they have for the Princess race weekend.

I love these shorts shown above along with the Jacket, but my closet is overflowing with rundisney clothing I have to cap it at some point.  I do like the Sweaty Band shown above though!  So that’ll be on my shopping list.

I had been trying to get an I Did It Shirt at all of the races; but now that we get nice shirts from the official race swag bag  that are usually the tech materials; I don’t bother with the cotton I Did It shirts.  But I always liked their designs.

And of course the Dooney and Bourke are always a favorite; but I am passing on the Princess design.  This one just doesn’t do it for me.  I have my eye on a particular bag that I am saving my coins up in a jar for!

merch3The Glass Slipper Challenge merchandise is what I usually favor out of everything else since I have run the past two Glass Slipper Challenges.  I am hoping to become a legacy holder after this year and the next to years.  Legacy status is when you run the races from the first year they started it and every 5, 10, 15, etc.

What will you be shopping for at the Expo?  Perhaps the new shoes released by New Balance?  This race weekend New Balance is doing something different.  The Virtual Queue is allowing for sign ups the evening before each expo day at 7:00.  (I believe it is West Coast time because I checked and it wasn’t open yet at 8:45 EST).  So if you plan to be at the expo on Thursday, February 18th, you can sign up with the queue Wednesday night.  You may only use the service once during the weekend.  All other times you can walk up and wait in line.  I have found in the past that when I arrive later in the day I have no issues going right in and trying on and purchase shoes.

The expo hours are the following:

10:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. on Thursday, February 18, 2016

9:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. on Friday, February 19, 2016

9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, February 20, 2016

I plan on going to the expo around 5:00 on Friday after I land.  Hope to see some of you there!

Disney Princess Half Marathon Adds The Castaway Cay Challenge

July 15, 2014

cruiserunDisney has a way of surprising us with new things.  It’s great that they are adding new elements to their races.  Earlier in the year the included a Castaway Cay Challenge to Marathon Weekend in January.  This was discussed on a Mickey Miles Podcast that maybe now they will add this to all of the challenge races.  Well, now they are adding it to the Princess Half Marathon weekend in January.  I know that his had made some people upset because they registered for it for the January offering of the cruise.  Registration for the Princess Weekend Race events will be opening on Tuesday, July 15 at 12:00 Noon ET to the public for the Princess Half Marathon weekend.

I think it is a nice addition.  I just wish we knew what the race schedule was with everything provided at the beginning of the year so we can plan our funds, schedules and flights accordingly.

The Castaway Cay Challenge is:

Disney Cruise Line 4-night Bahamian Cruise February 23-27, 2015, following Disney Princess Half Marathon February 19-22, 2015
