March 3, 2017 by Laura Gilbreath

This is the 9th year for Disney’s Princess Half Marathon Weekend. It’s always a fun one for me. Even though I don’t like the 10K and half marathon courses I still have a really good time! Disney figured out yet another way to capitalize on the upcoming live action “Beauty and the Beast” movie by … Continue reading "2017 Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend – Part 1, Expo and 10K"

2016 Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend – Part 4 – Dining

March 9, 2016 by Laura Gilbreath

Lee was finally able to join me on Thursday night. I had moved to Kidani Village earlier that day. Unfortunately by then the cold had really taken hold of me and my appetite was not every good – for a number of meals I just wanted fruit or yogurt. So there’s not going to be … Continue reading "2016 Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend – Part 4 – Dining"

2016 Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend – Part 3 – Dining

March 8, 2016 by Laura Gilbreath

I was able to dine at a number of new (to me) places on this trip and had some really good experiences. I started off my trip staying at the Polynesian Villas and Bungalows. On the first night there I went to Captain Cook’s. I wasn’t very hungry but I thought the Pho Noodle Bowl … Continue reading "2016 Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend – Part 3 – Dining"

Sunday, February 21 – Disney Princess Half Marathon Up at 2:45, left the room about 3:30. No problem getting to the Epcot parking lot – we were actually parked one row closer than we were the day before. This time we had bags (our running belts) that needed to be checked, but that was very … Continue reading "2016 Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend – Part 2"

2015 Princess Half Marathon Weekend – Part 2, Half Marathon

March 3, 2015 by Laura Gilbreath

I think I got even less sleep on Saturday night than I did on Friday night. Frustrating, but not unusual for me. Maybe I perform better when I’m sleep deprived… I was awake before the wakeup call, and I canceled it so that it wouldn’t wake Deb up. Did the usual routine of having something … Continue reading "2015 Princess Half Marathon Weekend – Part 2, Half Marathon"

2014 Glass Slipper Challenge Part 2 – the Princess Half Marathon

February 27, 2014 by Laura Gilbreath

For half marathon morning on Sunday I scheduled the wake up call for 2:15, and I was on my way to Epcot around 3:10. There was more traffic this morning but I was still early enough that I didn’t get slowed down until I was in the parking lot. I’d rather get up and get … Continue reading "2014 Glass Slipper Challenge Part 2 – the Princess Half Marathon"
