2010
Cathy Pittenger improved upon from last year. start was closer and there were port a potties right there. it still seems like we have to line up too early in the corrals though. nice run through the castle and epcot but again some boring stretches. they did add some other characters in those sections this year which made it better. again a beautiful medal and a fun race.
Time:02:12
 
Jan Carpenter Where else can you run with 12,000 of your closest Princess Girlfriends? Only my second 1/2 and I will be back again! Terrific weather, mostly flat course and entertainment everywhere.
Time:03:28
 
Laura Finley Another great Disney running event !
Time:02:30
 
Alice Lashbrook Was a great experience! Love racing with mostly women, totally different.
Time:02:08
 
Liz Vroman Nice course.
Time:02:43
 
Lorree Tachell Much better than last year - more characters and bands on the road. Expo better organized w/more space for official merchandise. Now if we didn't have to stand out in the cold for two hours prior to the start...

2009
Cathy Pittenger fun parts were running through the castle and epcot and seeing the characters, but there were long boring stretches of road! nice expo and awesome medal. the long walk to the start was not pleasent either with no close port a potties at the start
Time:02:34
 
Kara O'Reilly Loved it .. . Disney magic all around
Time:02:10
 
Gretchen Loebel Disney always does it right.
Time:02:56
 
Leah Connor This was my favorite race ever. I stopped to get my photo with every princess and LOVED the medal!!
Time:01:55
 
Melissa Murfin Like Pat said, better than expected!
Time:02:48
 
Pat Welch Much better than expected, I was a little skeptical about the princess theme, but I had a great time. The medal is cool and I enjoyed seeing my W.I.S.H. friends.
Time:03:16
 
Naomi Yabsley Great race! Loved running through the castle and finishing at Epcot. Fun trivia along the course and loved the storybook mile markers w/music.
Time:02:52
 
Brenda Hively Great experience to run through the castle and the finish at Epcot. Roads btwn parks had trivia signs (not easiest to read while running). However, it was a trip to Disney in March out of Michigan cold - can't ever complain about that. Plus it kept me training through the winter.
Time:01:51
 
Melissa Griffin I loved being able to dress up as princesses with my friends (male and female!) There were lots of potties, pictures, characters, but not a lot to look at when you weren't in the parks (around 11 miles or so). Just kind of a boring race and the 1 1/2 walk to the start sucked :)
Time:02:18
 
Michelle Ham Overall a great run - decent (but not great expo), great concept, lots of water, great mile markers and I absolutely LOVED that we got to run through the castle and that they had characters along the way to stop and take pictures with. I am still unhappy that they sold out of finisher shirts at the Expo (hello - you haven't finished anything but the expo at that point - you should not be allowed to buy the shirt until you actually finish the race!) but overall I would say it was a magical experience. The post race part at Hollywood Studios was well worth the price of admission since it was only open to runners and friends.
Time:02:13
 
Tonya Barnett Running through Cinderella's castle was cool, but most of the run was on back roads. Enjoyed the Disney characters / picture opportunities along the way. I really enjoyed having Hollywood Studios open only for race participants / family / friends at the Happily Ever After party.
Time:03:05
 
Claire Dedow should have more start corrals they were not well defined. First Disney race so it was fun to do the trivia along the way and the characters. couple of U-turns were tight but easy race to navigate
Time:01:48
 
Lorree Tachell For a Disney-run event, it was ok but not great. Not nearly as 'magical' as the January half has been. Hope to see better communications from them going forward.
