Do the race packages/bibs/etc. (or whatever they get) for the kids races need to be picked up a day before like the regular races or can that be done on Saturday morning? Thanks!
Yep, Go the Distance and Almost There like @keahgirl8 said. Go the Distance is my personal fave. <3
Also Seize the Day from Newsies and How Far I’ll Go. I’m drawing a blank right now,
but I’ll post more if I remember.
That's better than the unending repeat of "Following the Leader" during the ENTIRE 2017 Tink 5K!!!
Having trouble staying motivated in the final stages of training. So much snow here. Terrible weather. So sick of the treadmill. I’m always glad to finish a run, but man, is it boring. Dying to get outside and run. But that is months away—except for the time in Florida next week. Hope I’ve trained enough for my 10k. Looking so FYI getting away with my fourteen year old daughter. We have a great weekend planned!
Last year was my first princess weekend and I did the race retreat and had early access to the Expo. I don't think I will be doing that again this year, so can anyone tell what the line will be like right at 10am on Thursday when it opens? How early do you suggest I get there to line up?
First timer here again! If we want to be towards the front of our corral (c) what time should we plan to be there? I feel like I have no clue what’s going on. This is my first big race and there’s a lot of info out there but it isn’t specific. Planning a 20 min walk to the corral just not sure what time to actually show up if we want to be up front. Thanks!
Edit: I like to have a few parks songs on my playlist too! I have the happily ever after music, wishes, and carousel of progress
Every year it’s different. I’m sure we’ll get on the first bus and see what it’s like. Last year it was a breeze even for those of us without early access but got there early. We stood or sat in a well organized, indoors, line to the rundisney merchandise area, they opened the doors early to a well stocked room, chose stuff, purchased without a huge line, and we were off. Easy. In previous years it’s beem different in different ways.
Also, since there are three buildings being used for things, it depends on your priority. For someone who doesn’t want all the rundisney merchandise they’ll skip that building.
First timer here. I’m seeing a lot of people mention “first bus.” Are there only a certain number of buses? Are there only certain times that the buses come? I’m staying at Pop if that matters...I always take the first or second bus (if you're taking a bus). I'd rather be waiting near the corrals than waiting in traffic.
Again, first bus for me on this too. Last year, I had early access, and I'm really sad I'm not doing the half this year (for many reasons) since I won't have it. I just like doing things early.

Can I ask, as I'm travelling today, some of the waivers on the races I've booked haven't come through yet. Is there a facility to print and scan when I'm there? I booked some kids races last minute!
The buses start to run to the races at 3:30 for the 5k and 10k and 3:00 for the half. They will run continuously til 5. That's the window you need to hit. These buses are coach buses from outside companies. In general, things go smoothly, but here are the occasional issues with (pick one) unfamiliar/lost drivers, traffic, etc. So the buses don't exactly come on a "rigid/regular" schedule. There will be a Disney CM at the bu stop, and they will help if there are issues, but that doesn't happen too, too often.
Some people just like to get on the earliest bus(es) so that they get to the start early and bypass any potential transportation issues.

That's awesome!!! I'm totally jealous!!!!Princess weekend isn’t even here yet and I just registered for Disneyland Paris half marathon aka the Castle to Chateau Challenge! Oops!
I looked back at the merchandise previews from Marathon Weekend 2019 and Wine and Dine 2018. The marathon weekend preview was 5 days before the expo, and Wine and Dine was 6 days before. Both were posted on a Friday, so hopefully tomorrow will be our lucky day!Seriously - aren't they rather late with this merchandise preview? The expo opens in a week.

BFF and I are dressing as Aurora (one pink, one blue) for the half. Have Ariel themed outfits for the 10K, which we've worn before.
To be honest, my training has really suffered this winter. This is the first time I've signed up for a race this time of year since moving to PA and I am no good at winter training. I should have stuck to the 10K I think. But lesson learned. I don't think I will ever train as well through the winter now that I live here instead of FL!
Also, I am really hoping for a merch preview soon since a week from now I'll be on a plane to MCO!
