    Okay Perfects and 2017 Princess participants. Watch for your 'thank you' email from runDisney which contains a link for early 2018 Princess registration.

    Early AP / DVC registration for the 2018 Princess Half Marathon weekend opened this morning at 9:00 a.m. Pacific / 12:00 p.m. Eastern. While I was able to get in with no issues thru the DLand AP site, I've heard the WDW site is having challenges. When I tried it, all looks good until clicking on the runDisney link which then keeps taking me to the 'renew your pass' page (well, I'm good thru 3/2018 so not inclined to go out much further right now...). Really glad I pre-signed up at the expo.

    Looks like both the 10k and Fairy Tale Challenge went fast and are listed as sold out. The half, 5k, and kids races remain open.

    If you didn't get in today, general registration opens Tuesday May 2nd @ 9:00 a.m. Pacific / 12:00 p.m. Eastern. Given this will be an anniversary year (and yes, they are showing the challenge as the 5th year even with the name change), be on-line when it opens as I'm betting it will sell out quickly.

    Anyone else registering today? I'm hoping to get my 10 year old and myself in for the 5K. It'll be her first runDisney event!

    How cool on her first runDisney race! You'll have to let us know how she did and what she thought of the race.

    I snuck in already and am looking forward to going 10 for 10 at Princess!

    Awesome! We're both in! Registration wasn't too bad...waited about 5 minutes in the waiting room and then was able to do back to back registrations. It put me right back into the registration form for dd when I was done. I didn't have to go back in the waiting room Can not wait for this!

    Looks like both the Challenge and 10k are ON HOLD. All other events are open.

    Both the Challenge and the 10k have SOLD OUT (on hold within minutes of opening/ closed in less than two hours). The 10th anniversary Half Marathon, 5k, and kids races are still open.

    9:15 p.m. - the 5k is now officially SOLD OUT. 10th anniversary half marathon and kids races are all that remain open.

    Freezing temps for last month's races, and now runDisney has issued a weather advisory as they're expecting heat and humidity for this weekend's races.

    Good luck to those racing.

    Please don't ask me how I feel, I feel fine.
    Oh I cry a bit, I don't sleep too good, but I'm fine

    So how did folks do? Any surprises? PRs? interesting interactions of note? I did see the push in social media to help find the lost locket. that was sad to hear.
