Princess Half: Disney Castaway Cay Challenge & Theme News

Breaking news for Disney Princess Half cruise lovers: you’ve been challenged!  That’s right, runDisney is looking for YOU to take a royal cruise after your races to earn a 5K challenge medal on Castaway Cay.

I don’t think Anastasia and Drizella are invited.  They look pretty annoyed by this announcement, don’t you think?

Some details:

Think you’ll see these characters on your cruise?

Are you taking your Glass Slipper & tiara for a cruise & 5K?  Do you think runDisney will be adding challenges after every race?

ETA: wait- there’s more!

Anyone hear about this movie called Frozen? Well, your 5k and kids races are rumored to be Frozen themed! Look for the news this week (I heard tomorrow is the release date) and be SURE To register for the 5K as soon as you can.

Remember how I waited until 2 weeks before the race last year to register?  With Frozen as the theme, that won’t be possible.  Children 5 and up are eligible to run the Royal Family 5K and I suspect if the Frozen gals are on the course, this sucker is going to sell out FAST.

I ran the “Triple Crown” last year and loved it.  Will this news change your mind about the 5K?
