July 11, 2012 | Uncategorized

Good morning! Sad day. Traveling home from the beach. I know I always say this but it went by so fast!!! It was a fun way to spend my birthday week. Still a bit spooked my birthday falls on Friday the 13th this year!

So how many of you signed up for the Disney Princess half yesterday?!? If you will remember, I had a blast running this years race and hope I am able to go back next year.

Did you know what Disney expects over 28,000 runners for this years event? It’s a great year to run, too. You see, it’s the fifth anniversary of the race. Disney loves doing special medals on anniversary years!

The 5k will be the Mickey and Minnie mouse royal 5k, what a fun theme! There will also be kids races and the fit for a princess health and fitness expo. You don’t want to miss this! Mark your calendars for February 22-24 2013 and register now to join in the fun!

Also don’t forget I have a discounted group rate available for booking! Email me at heather@travelwiththemagic.com for details!

QOTD: who is your favorite Disney princess and why?

    I soooooo want to do this! Question is the money to do it and travel and all. Can’t I just win the lottery so I can run races and travel all the time? Haha!

    I want to run this so badly, I just don’t know if money will allow it. Jasmine’s my favorite princess and she’s in all the ads, so I’m thinking it’s basically a sign!!

    I am hoping to go! I am waiting to see what my husband’s school schedule looks like. I have never been to Disney World, and we were hoping to make a vacation out of it.

The Castaway Cay 5K was hands down one of our favorite memories from our @disneycruiseline cruise, just me and my girl, running along the most beautiful island with that Caribbean breeze and the bluest water cheering us on. It’s such a fun (and free!) way to experience Castaway Cay in a totally different way.

If you’re planning a cruise, this is your sign to do the 5K — even if you walk it! Grab water early, go first thing before it gets too hot, and don’t forget to stop for pictures because you won’t want to forget this one! 🏅 

If you’re ready to book your own Disney cruise, I’d love for you to use my link in my bio and plan through Best Day Ever Vacation. It’s completely free to have the book for you and they have over 1000 5 star reviews! 🤍

🚨 Right now there’s an incredible deal: 20% off select voyage fares PLUS a $250 onboard credit 🙌 
That onboard credit can go toward excursions, specialty dining, souvenirs, or spa time (yes please).

Let me know if you have questions about the 5K or cruising with kids, it truly was the best day ever! (Make sure you use my link in bio to get your free quote so they know that I sent you!!)
