                 A Princess Diary 

                        Disney's Princess Half Marathon
                        March 6-8, 2009 

      Welcome to the Princess Diary! Within these pages you will encounter one of our beloved princesses, and through her, discover the royal features that can be found at the 2009 Disney’s Princess Half Marathon Weekend presented by Lady Foot Locker.

      Princess of the Month
      Although gentle and soft-spoken, Cinderella has a keen, intelligent sense of humor, which she wisely keeps hidden from her cruel Stepmother and jealous Stepsisters.

      Finding delight in her tiny animal friends, able to sing as she works, Cinderella has true dignity – something her Stepsisters could learn a thing or two about. Despite moments of heartbreak and disappointment, Cinderella holds onto her hopes until goodness and beauty are rewarded and dreams that she’s dreamed do come true.

      Utilize Your Strength
      Sing a happy tune to gather your fellow princesses in the celebration and accompany you in the half marathon. Have them register by February 15 to ensure that they are recognized as a princess on their race bib. The half marathon has reached 95% of capacity, so have them sign up today!  

      The best way for your majesty’s friends and family to keep track of your progress along the course, between viewing areas, is with our Runner Tracking Service. With this service, split times are shared via email, text messaging and PDAs. Register online today!

      Time Change
      The mice won’t be the only ones having a difficult time arising race morning. The start time for the Half Marathon has been changed to     7 a.m. But without chime of the Clock Tower to awaken such a Princess from her sweet dreams, you will have to remember that time springs forward the night before the Half Marathon. So set your clocks forward one hour before getting your beauty sleep!

      Fit for a Princess Expo 
      Packet Pick-Up
      Your fairy Godmother can have you race ready in no time, but lend her a helping hand picking up your race packet from the Expo in the Jostens® Center at Disney’s Wide World of Sports® Complex. This packet includes your bib number, race information and some extras fit for a princess.

      Before you arrive to the expo remember to download your personalized race number pick-up card/waiver form online and then bring it with you to packet pick-up at the Expo. Click here for expo hours. 

      Parking
      When arriving in your pumpkin coach on Friday, March 6 for the Expo, make sure that your mousy driver allots extra time for parking the enchanted vehicle. Disney’s Wide World of Sports® Complex will be hosting both the Expo and an Atlanta Braves Spring Training game on that day.

      Emily's Wish
      Disney's Princess Half Marathon Weekend supports the Make-A-Wish Foundation®. Read about one of the wishes they have granted.

      It’s a common myth that all Make-A-Wish® kids have terminal illnesses. For many, a wish provides strength and hope for the future. With the support of family, friends, communities, and - of course – their medical teams, many wish kids go onto become healthy adults. These stories show wish kids years after they’ve had their wishes. Each of them is living proof that hope helps heal. Click here to read her story.
