Princess Half Marathon 2013 and 30th Birthday Trip Part I

I had so much fun last year, I decided to go again and celebrate my big 3-0 birthday at one of my favorite vacation spots. This year my mom and one of our dear family friends joined in the fun. Also met up with some running friends.

My cheerleaders for the weekend! On the Magical Express!! So excited to get to our resort!! 

We tried out the Wilderness Lodge Villas this time and loved them. Always enjoy staying at the WL. 

We dropped off our stuff and were off to the expo. It was crazy this year. I did not stay long. :( I did however get the runDisney shoes and LOVE them! So fun and comfortable! There had been a long line for them but no lines when I went so Happy Birthday to me! 



Ready for the 5k and the Half - more races. more character pics. more fun! 

After a quick rest we headed to Epcot for dinner. I was able to get a pizza without the cheese at Via Napoli! Yum!!!!!! After that we headed to a dessert party. I didn't take any pictures of the desserts but they were all so good. :) We also had a great view, so I was able to practice my photography skills during one of my favorite shows.

We went on as many rides as possible during EMH then headed back to get a few hours of rest. 

Saturday morning was 5k time! It was so much fun!!! I picked Daisy since she was my favorite when I went to WDW for the first time - I came back with her hat that year. 



Running with friends is the best!! 



We found some of our friends from across the pond! 

Donald was so excited to have 2 Daisy Ducks! 

Because every race photo needs a guy wiping his nose in the background. 

Our time was so bad since we stopped for pics - totally worth the wait. The lines were definitely slower with the 5k compared to the other races I have done. 



  
One down and one more to go for the weekend!

Next stop was the monorail x2 then to MK for the opening show. My cheerleaders actually made it to the opening show in time!
