RunDisney Princess Sunrise Yoga

March 03, 2022 by Megan Noble in Going the Distance

Dreams really do come true. Several years ago, our friend Stef who is a Cast Member, participated in a Cast-Member-only sunrise yoga in the Magic Kingdom. This truly sounded like my dream, and I told Stef then that I wished Disney would offer that as a guest experience and that I would pay into the triple digits for an experience like that!

This summer, RunDisney announced that my wish was coming true! They would offer Disney Princess Sunrise Yoga as part of the Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend. It was going to be offered on my husband and I’s wedding anniversary. I told my husband that if I could get a registration, we were going to Disney World! Spoiler alert: I got one.

The Virtual runDisney Experience

It’s no secret that the only way the two of us will commit to going on a run is to have that run located in a Disney Park. Although this year’s races have all moved to a virtual experience, there was still enough magic surrounding the race to get us to commit to the Wine and Dine Virtual 10K. Here’s a break down of our virtual runDisney 10K.

We are a mere eleven weeks away from the Virtual Wine & Dine 10K, and true to Pixie Dust Pal form, we’ve probably spent more time planning our outfits than we have training. (I’m only kind of kidding.) Given that we are getting our booties in gear for this race, we thought we’d share a few of our favorite running accessories with you today!

Run Like the Wind, Bullseye! How to Survive a runDisney Race (Part 2)

Once you arrive in Orlando, one of the first things you’ll need to do is attend the Race Expo. This is where you’ll get your race materials and where you can shop for cute apparel! There is official RunDisney merchandise but also lots of other vendors. One of the most crucial pieces of merchandise at the RunDisney merchandise area is the “I Did It!” shirt. Now, while you might feel superstitious about buying your “I Did It” shirt before you actually do it, they sell out very quickly and you run the risk of not getting one in the size that you want if you wait until you have actually done it. The earlier in the week that you can make it to the expo the better; it gets very crowded. If you can’t make it until the day before the race try to get there right when it opens; you don’t want to waste your time at Disney waiting in line!
