My first running experience at Disney was the Princess 1/2 Marathon on March 7, 2010.
My husband and I had been on vacation and flew into Orlando on Saturday afternoon, March 6th. I met my friend Sharon at the expo as soon as I could get there. We had a great time shopping and picking up freebies. I bought a sweatshirt, keychain, and running skirt. We got free pens, running magazines, and snacks. We were sprinkled by pixie dust for good luck. The expo had been going on all day Friday and Saturday, so we were only there for the very final 2 or 3 hours. In hind sight, a lot of things were all gone by the time we arrived. Some of the shelves were empty. The apple lady had no apples left to give out. However, there was still lots going on. Lesson Learned: Get to the expo as early as you can, although you will have a blast (and spend some cash) regardless of when you arrive.
PS. - Sharon and I did not buy the hats we model in the photo above. We took a photo of another group of runners and then they took a photo of us! I don't think I could run 13.1 miles with that hat on, but I was surprised how many ladies actually wore them or tiaras in the race!
