Is anyone just doing the 10K?
I had the most fun during the 10K!

Thank you so much!You have to take the bus to the race start. You cannot walk or take the boats from the Epcot Resorts. This is the course map. The park will not be open for spectators.

I know a lot of this is course-dependent, but I have another newbie question for our veterans.
I'm traveling with my husband who mentioned he'd like to be a spectator during the race. I know that Disney sells ChEAR Squad Packages, but what other types of options do we have and what works best for most people? It seems that some folks are actually inside the Magic Kingdom. Are those just ChEAR Squard participators, or is that option available to anyone? I wasn't certain if that would require a ticket or not given the park isn't officially "open" yet.
Any info you can provide would be helpful to our plan. Thank you!

If (a big if) I'm able to go in 2019, I think my cousin and I will limit ourselves to the 10K. Especially because this year I'll be newly single (but the sole owner of our DVC), I'll want to open up our normal "girls' weekend" to the rest of her family (but make sure they understand that THEY are in charge of the kids until AFTER our run), and doing one race makes it easier to do that.
Plus, it's enough of a run to make a seasoned runner feel accomplished, but not so long that a slower (but still seasoned) runner is feeling like death at the end if it's hot again. Perfect little distance. (actually 10 miles might be closer to perfect, but they'll never bring back TOT 10 miler...)
This. This is exactly what my dad did for the half marathon during Marathon Weekend (which has the exact same course as Princess). He was originally going to go to Magic Kingdom, but we decided last minute that the TTC would probably be easier and less busy. After I passed him there, he was able to go to the Polynesian to get something to eat, and I sent him a few messages on my progress (I stopped for a couple character photos in MK). Once he knew I was getting close again, he went back outside and saw me as I went past the Polynesian. It was great for him and he enjoyed it!I think the best place for spectators to see you is at the TTC. Once you pass by, they can walk over to Poly/Grand Floridian and see you on your way back down Floridian Way.
Which race? ChEar Squad is sold for half marathons and the marathon. You don’t need a ticket to spectate in MK. Here’s a link with info from Marathon weekend. The 5K, 10K & half courses are the same for Princess weekend so it’s relevant. https://www.disneylists.com/2016/01/disney_world_marathon_p6/
Not sure why it would be. Princess still routinely sells out.Someone on the FB rD group posted that 2019 would be the last year for Princess weekend. Any truth to it? If it is, I'm going to have to sign up!
