I don't love virtual races but dang that Belle half marathon medal is very nice...
Some races have the tech shirts costing $40, or $51. If you subtract More Magic gift card from the Magic giftcard, it's exorbitant!!!!!!
They did with wine & dine the virtual sold out quickly tooAre they really going to limit entries?

So I think my SIL and I are still going to go on our trip and do our 10k "race" on the running trail of whichever resort we stay at. Currently, we are slated to stay at CBR, but I'm wondering what the thought is on staying at Swan/Dolphin instead (It's about $100/nt cheaper.) Both have easy proximity to Epcot (the only park I think we would go to, if we do a park day.) However, am I correct in thinking that Swolphin would NOT have magical express and we would need to uber/rent a car?
Not sure about princess but for marathon weekend I bet thhey have already ordered the meals and may have done princess as well. In the quantity disney orders medals and with all the stuff they put on them the medals are going to be a higher lead time item. Shirts they can do closer to time which is likely why there are options on shirts (implying they haven't been ordered yet).
So yes I expect they will limit entries to however many medals have been ordered.
Swan/Dolphin do not do MDE. They also charge for parking and have a resort fee. So just make sure you look at the total cost.
On the plus side, running around the BW area is great and you could manage to do a 10k with a couple of laps. Plus the proximity to Epcot and Studios is great.
Yeah i was just looking at the fees. And once those are factored in, and the cost of a rental car, they're pretty close again. *sigh*
Just registered for the half, medal only. I couldn't resist that medal!
I ran Goofy in 2020 and the shirts were noticeably scratchier. One reason I went with medal only here.I also caved, lol. Went for the Challenge since Belle's my favorite and I love Rapunzel too. Medals only -- though I would have loved to trade in the Challenge shirt to get that Belle Half shirt instead... ^^'
Then again, from what people have been saying about the new tech shirt quality, maybe not. Don't know what it's like first hand; the only rD tech shirts I have are from Star Wars and I think RR 2019 was the last time they used the old shirts. So it's probably for the best to get none - especially at that price.
Wait -- does this "officially" make me a Princess runner too??
tech... used to be champion, I think, but new ones are different brand and didn't fit as well latelyDoes anyone know if the shirts are tech shirts or regular/cheap cotton tees?
Tech shirts. The newer shirts (either late 2019 or 2020) are not as soft although they get a little bit better after washing. The reality of my professional life means I can never travel to Disney World in February so Princess was never possible for me. As a fan of Sleeping Beauty, I ebayed the Princess Aurora medal in 2019 and ran that virtually. This time around, I'm a virtual Prince for the 10K and Half separately. Opted against the challenge because I do not want to feel that I absolutely must do the distances on back to back days come race weekend if it's better for my hectic work schedule to split them out with a day off or two in between if work necessitates that.Does anyone know if the shirts are tech shirts or regular/cheap cotton tees?
