    The "bling" is amazing compared to what we get from local races if anything!

    I saw in another post that you're running the half Marathon one day, then the Marathon the next. You are my hero. I can't even imagine (yet).

    I'm a total Disney geek and had completely intended to run the Tinker Bell Half Marathon at Disneyland next year, but procrastinated (read: chickened out) and the race reached capacity. I think it would be amazing to earn that Cost to Coast Race Challenge medal. *swoon*

    You can run AT BOTH! In fact, if you run at Disneyworld and Disneyland IN THE SAME YEAR you get a special "Coast to Coast" medal which is AWESOME!

    I'm looking at the Princess 1/2 for 2013... MAYBE the wine and dine 1/2 in 2012, but it would be during my wedding week - not sure how much pressure I want to put on myself that week. lol

    The wine and dine was awesome! We ran it this year and loved the night race. Much different than starting at 530am. I'm not a big drinker but an ice cold beer after finishing was a fun way to end the race! If you can get there it's well worth the trip!

    I just started running in April so had signed up for the 5K at the Tinkerbell. My sister and a friend are running the half. By the time I decided I might be able to handle the half by then, it was sold out. I'll do the 5K this time and am definitely planning to do the half in 2013.

    Thanks for posting about the Never Land 5K. I'd totally forgotten about it and wrote it off in my mind! I just checked and it is only 66% full. Only thing is that it is on my hubby's birthday and I really don't think it is fair to him for me to hijack his day for a race. Unless he secretly wants to run it too...:laugh:

    The Disneyland Star Tours 5K last September was my very first run event ever. I'd planned on the Disneyland Half being my first half next year, but that 5K got me addicted to run events and I did a 7K in October and have a 10K this Saturday. Then I plan on started training for a half after the new year and running one sometime in April-ish.

    I'll still run the DL Half next year though, it just won't be my first.

    The 5K path was awesome though, instead of heading out onto the streets like the half has to, we started by the parking structure and the whole run wove through Disneyland, the backstage areas of both Disneyland and California Adventure and ended in California Adventure. It was a Disneyland addict's dream come true to see all the stuff we got to see. :D

    I'm a HUGE Disney fan and I'm planning to do the Disney Princess Half Marathon in 2013. Getting to wear a tiara and run through the castle is really the only reason I can think of to run that many miles! I am NOT a runner (at least not yet) and even though I learned about the race this summer, I knew there was no way I'd be able to do it in 2012. I've recruited several other girlfriends and we're going to leave the kiddos (and husbands) home to make it a Girls' Weekend.

    Would love to connect with anyone else who might be looking at the 2013 Princess as well. :)

    I'm signed up to run the Tower of Terror 10Miler in September. Unfortunately I now live in NC (former Orlando-er), so Disney races take more coordination and funds than the "old days" so no plans for any others yet. I'm currently in week 5 of the C25K. Anyone else running that race, please friend me, maybe we can lend each other support during the race (good chance I'm going to need a lot of it, I'll be thrilled just to make it in under the 16min. mile cutoff!).
