Love the updates and all your pictures! Thanks for telling how long the wait was for Mickey and Minnie. I've passed them by both times I've run the marathon because I've been worried about time. Hopefully we will be able to pull it off next year in one of the races.
Thank you!
No problem, it looked long and it went fast. I also noticed a couple minutes after I got in line a third character attendant headed out to the end to give an estimated wait time which I thought was great!
I hope you get a chance to meet them they are so adorable!
wow - that picture with Mickey and Minnie in their royal garb is amazing ... totally worth the wait!
Running down Main St. as the castle emerges from the fog must have been such an unbelievable feeling!
Judging by other people in some of the photos, you were definitely not the only person sweating
ok, big-headed Sofia the First hanging out on the grassy knoll is kinda creepy
I can definitely understand people's mood changing a bit after leaving MK as it could feel like "the best is over" but still ... a princess always has to act like a princess
Those pants on Mickey
he looks so cute and should be out in them more often!
It was such a cool feeling. Easily the best part of the race, I think Main Street was even better than running through the castle.
Haha yeah I know, it just seemed foreign to me coming from the horrible Maine winter we'd been having.
Ok I'm glad I'm not the only one who was creeped out by her haha.
Haha I agree and I was still happy to be running but a few Princesses were definitely not haha.
JESS, THAT'S TOTALLY ME IN YOUR MILE 8 PICTURE!!! We practically had an on course DIS meet!!!!!
That was the girl I was talking about in my TR who ran the whole race with a basket that she was keeping her camera in, lol!
Now onto my regularly scheduled comments...
The Eel is totally freaky. Something about the black eyes, and the texture of his skin weirds me out.
Your pepperoni pizza looks so good!
I love all your marathon photos! They all came out so cute, and fairly 'mist' free. I'm definitely jealous that I didn't stop for the villains because your picture looks great. I'm also loving your picture with Minnie and Mickey. Considering your outfits match (as you said) that one was totally worth stopping for!
OMG IT IS! How cool is that?! We were doing some serious trip twinning that weekend! Haha I remember reading about her in your trip report and thinking that's weird I saw someone doing that too
Yeah eels are cool but creepy at the same time. We totally have eels in the lake near my parent's house so as much as they creep me out I still think their cool haha.
I want more of that pizza right now
Aww thank you! It was definitely a challenge to take them and be able to see anything. I couldn't get over the fog that morning! You can literally see the condensation on my hair in some of the pics.
I highly recommend stopping for the Villians and Mickey and Minnie, they were kind of long waits but they were so worth it!
Haha!! That's so cool!!
That was SO awesome!
Ok full comments coming, but I can't believe you got this picture of us! I think I must be standing just out of the frame to Emily's left. We must have been together through this whole stretch, because I totally recognize costumes that I remember seeing that day, and I have a picture with that mile 10 marker that is only a few seconds clock time later....so crazy haha
I can't believe it either
what are the odds with over 25k people racing!? Haha that is so funny that we were running around each other and didn't even know it.
Ugh, running through MK must be so unbelievably amazing. That's a perfect selfie with the Mickey & Minnie topiaries and the castle in the background.
THAT IS THE COOLEST MICKEY COSTUME I HAVE EVER SEEN! You definitely made the right call waiting in line, that is amazing!
I love that Genie has the magic carpet in the background.
It's Emily!! Haha that is so cool that you got a picture of her. Small world!
Sarge is the best
Its definitely the best part of the race. I wanted to pinch myself I couldn't believe I was actually there! Haha thank you, I was a little bummed there were no volunteers over there so I settled for the selfie.
I know right?! Those pants and that hat, SO cute!
Genie was the best! I wish he had been out the day before though when I was dressed as Jasmine!
So funny that I managed to catch her in a photo!
Talking Sarge should be out in HS all the time!
