Hello there, Leslie! We're glad you took the time to send your question to planDisney. The
Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend is almost upon us!
Like you, I prefer to pre-order my runDisney merchandise. It makes your time at the
runDisney Health & Fitness Expo much less stressful, rather than risk not finding one of those coveted jackets in your size. Unfortunately, this year, the pre-orders were done during race registration. They are called "blind orders" since you order and pay for them without seeing what they look like until picking up your items at the Expo. Sadly, I missed out on that opportunity; I was just so excited to run a race in person again that I hit submit before I even saw the button. I spoke to a runDisney representative who said that, unfortunately, there will not be another pre-order opportunity offered for this year's event. So, I feel your pain, princess! I'm sending you some pixie dust that
all your dreams come true at the Expo (and if you see me standing in line to buy my half-marathon jacket, make sure to say hello)!
Here are a few runDisney tips:
*Make sure to log into your runDisney account to submit a digital waiver- participants must complete a waiver form for each event they are participating in prior to arrival.
*Don't forget your Expo Check-in Pass, which will be available in your account on February 21. This will be required to pick up your Runners Packet and bib.
*After the race on Sunday, celebrate by getting an indulgent snack (Dole Whip, anyone?) and then finding a fun place to take pictures with your medal. Cinderella Castle and the Cinderella Wishing Well in
Magic Kingdom Park are two great spots, but consider getting one with your favorite
Fab 50 Character golden statue!
Just like Princess Tiana says, Leslie, "The only way to get what you want in this world is through hard work." Pretty soon, all that royal training will pay off as you run those 13.1 magical miles through Cinderella Castle. No matter how tough it is, muster a smile for those PhotoPass Photographers who will be waiting for you as soon as you burst through the archways!
See ya real soon,
Eean
