Throughout the weekend, I kept seeing adorable New Balance Disney-themed shoes, precious t-shirts (my favorite was the one that said “My Favorite Disney Princess is My Mom”), and other things that were only available at the expo. The expo itself was pretty packed, so we decided to skip it so that we could get to the parks.

We arrived at Disney on Friday morning, checked into our hotel and then headed to the Fit for a Princess Expo to pick up my race packet. I learned after signing up that it was the inaugural year for both the 10K and the Glass Slipper Challenge, so I was even more stoked. This entails the Disney Enchanted 10K (6.2 miles) on Saturday and the Florida Disney Princess Half Marathon (13.1 miles) on Sunday. If you are a Disney fan, this must become one of your bucket list items! I have been running for about 7 years, so I decided to be brave and attempt the Glass Slipper Challenge. Runner, walker, couch potato-makes no difference. I just returned from my first Disney racing experience-Princess Half Marathon Weekend.
