Princess Prep

February 19, 2014 | Disney, family, Race Recaps, runDisney, running, tips, Travel

Hello friends! Tomorrow is the big day! I leave the dogs with the house sitter, fly out with my fam to Orlando to spend five days in Disney World for the Glass Slipper Challenge and the family fun run 5k. It’s going to be a jam packed trip, but also hopefully a lot of fun.

Just wanted to share a few things for my fellow princesses who may be packing and preparing for their own trips.

I posted these tips for running Princess last year

I posted this vlog on packing for a multi race Disney trip when I was packing for Goofy last year

Here are my race recaps from the past two princesses if anyone wants to read them to GET EXCITED!

I will be at the expo in the early afternoon on Thursday, if you see me at any point during the weekend PLEASE say hi, I love to chat! I will be at all three races, and also roaming the parks until Tuesday when we leave. I am stoked my mom and dad are coming with us. We are ALL doing the 5k, my dad’s first runDisney race! Mom and I are running the 10k, and I am running the half all by my lonesome.

Good luck to everyone who is running, I hope you have a magical time and don’t forget running at Disney is supposed to be FUN! Don’t be nervous, if you have put in the training YOU CAN DO THIS! Enjoy every magical mile, and hope to see ya real soon.

    I so wish I was going this year, but I did Tink and will be doing Wine & Dine later this year instead since I did the PHM last year! I am so excited for everyone who is going though – I can’t wait to read recaps/see pics! That is so cool that your family is running with you for the 5K!

🏈🍊 Calling all Tennessee fans! Headed to Atl 🏈🍊 Calling all Tennessee fans! Headed to Atlanta for the big game Aug. 30? Make Signia by Hilton Atlanta your home base (or your pregame headquarters). It’s the closest hotel to Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Atlanta’s newest luxury hotel is packed with everything you need to kick off football season in style— a sports bar next to the stadium, a beautiful Lobby Bar for post-game drinks as you wait out traffic, a serene boutique spa and unbeatable game-day energy.

From rooftop pool vibes + @spasigniaatlanta treatments to cold brews + stadium views at @nestonfour sports bar — and  @capolineaatlanta (one of the best places to eat in downtown Atlanta) — you’ll be right in the heart of the action.

5th grade. ✏️ 🍎 📚 Today she left eleme 5th grade. ✏️ 🍎 📚 

Today she left elementary school to change classes all by herself, do homework on a Chromebook, and basically be a grown up at school. 😭

How did we get here? She was just lifting her arms up saying “mommy, hold you!” And it felt like yesterday. It’s bittersweet watching her grow, but I know she is going to do amazing things. She’s got a special fire inside of her that can’t be taught, and I know it will take her far in life.

Chase your dreams baby girl. We will always be right here cheering you on. 🩷 @theprincessek
