Good afternoon Liner friends. RunDisney costume question. I usually do Springtime Surprise but am doing Princess Weekend this year. I know weather in Orlando is unpredictable in March, but for those of you who have done Princess races, do y'all usually we

wear tank tops? I am definitely wearing shorts but wonder if I will be too cool in a tank. I would rather sweat than be too cold and it will probably be chilly waiting around before the sun comes up?

5:44pm on 1/14/26 by h2olly

My race is March 1 by the way.

5:45pm on 1/14/26 by h2olly

March 1st in Kissimmee, expect pleasant, warm spring weather with average highs in the upper 70s?F (around 26?C) and lows in the mid-50s?F (around 13?C)

6:32pm on 1/14/26 by Ali Ababwa

Depends on how hot you run, but I heard lots of runners hit heat exhaustion last weekend. Much better to be chilly and pack sweats in your post-race bag.

6:34pm on 1/14/26 by Ali Ababwa

Go to Goodwill and buy a $5 hoodie you can discard on the course and never see again. Pack oldest socks to wear as gloves and also throw away. Last weekend was unusual, sweat trickling down my back weather. Unusual.

7:20pm on 1/14/26 by Jennyhirsch

I wear a tank, but if it's cool I wear arm sleeves. For the corral I buy space blankets on Amazon. I sometimes use 2 & I make a long skirt out of the bottom. Princess is usually perfect running weather! Cool while waiting, but perfect once you start.

8:31pm on 1/14/26 by Kimluvsdisney

I started wearing the arm sleeves one really cool Princess year & I didn't want to mess up my outfit with a long sleeve! The work perfectly & are easy to push down/take off if you get hot.

8:33pm on 1/14/26 by Kimluvsdisney

Thanks for the weather info Ali Ababwa

9:54pm on 1/14/26 by h2olly

Great ideas Jenny and Kimluvs Disney. Thanks so much!

9:55pm on 1/14/26 by h2olly

Throw away layers seems to be the way to go. I'd considered a disposable clear poncho if not too cold, others def say buy a sweatshirt & drop it

1:39am on 1/15/26 by hodg

Thanks hodg. Yes, all seem to be in agreement about throwaway layers. I would never have thought of that! Clear poncho also a good idea. I always get so hot in those things when I wear them at Disney for rain.

2:46am on 1/15/26 by h2olly

What races are you running @holly? I'm running 10k & half.

7:32am on 1/15/26 by Kimluvsdisney

I am just doing the half Kimluvsdisney. Maybe one day I will try for one of the Challenge medals but I am just hoping to make it through the half this year ! Ha

10:39pm on 1/15/26 by h2olly

Once you're on course, the answer to being chilly is RUN FASTER! The pain will take your mind off the cold.

8:35am on 1/16/26 by Ali Ababwa

lol Ali Ababwa. I am going to have to pace myself carefully. Have never done a half before. Will,probably be in one of the last corrals since I didn't submit proof of time. I am scared of the Balloon Ladies! Ha

12:01pm on 1/16/26 by h2olly

Add sewing pins to your costume. Then the balloon ladies will be scared of you.

1:57pm on 1/16/26 by hodg

Bwahahaha! @h2olly, I ended up in the last corral with the balloon ladies. I definitely cried sure that I wasn't going to make it - doing that distance I'm slower than a 16 minute mile. But I made a PR and didn't get swept. It was motivational for sure.

3:42pm on 1/16/26 by popupcamper

You'll do it! I did a ton of WDW races up against the cutoffs. Just be sure to minimize as much as possible any time not in motion - 10 minutes inside a porta-potty or at a photo op or aid station can eat up your safety margin.

7:43pm on 1/16/26 by Ali Ababwa

I am doing the 10k this year too. Didn't see this thread before I posted another one. Oops. Good luck to everyone!

Oh good point about the bathroom breaks. There were people on bikes outside of the bathrooms telling us we had 1 minute ahead of the balloon ladies, 4 minutes etc. I skipped one break due to that but couldn't skip the next one, and I made it.

9:15am by popupcamper

I use lined pantyhose from Amazon. Still use them for cold morning runs

9:26am by DeeMac

For another aspect - be sure you have lots of experience with hot weather long distance runs. Combined with anxiety, "intestinal dumping" often occurs. Pre-race Imodium helps reduce emergency porta-potty time wasted.

No fresh caramel corn from Germany unless it is immediately put in Ziplocs. Perhaps candy from Karamel Kuche.

10:09pm on 1/16/26 by snowdiz

Packaged caramels from Germany travel well. Candy from Japan is fun.

If you want a resort, there are lots of good options, but Enchantment seems highest rated. Sunset Chateau looks good too, on the B and B front!

^^ great, as well as exploring Uptown Sedona. Such majestic beauty everywhere!! On the return to the PHX airport, we spent time in Jerome, a fun mining town. An overall incredible trip!!

2:13pm on 1/16/26 by snowdiz

We are going to Sedona this summer and booked Enchantment Resort. Expensive but looks amazing!

2:24pm on 1/16/26 by njhyndman

As a change of pace, we also loved driving through Oak Creek Canyon just north of Sedona. There were a few hikes and restaurant coffee shops up that way.

3:03pm on 1/16/26 by cltwdwtraveler

Do not miss the Petrified Forest and the Crater. 4 corners if you have the time and the big giant hole, (I think it is called The Grand Canyon) is the other way.

3:30pm on 1/16/26 by JackOfAll

Thanks y'all! Enchantment does look amazing - but boy howdy those are Disney prices! ;)

3:39pm on 1/16/26 by popupcamper

Lots of good recs here already. I'll add that some of our favorite hikes were Soldiers Pass, the Airport Loop, and along the creek in Red Rock State Park. If you like Mexican food, try Tortas de Fuego. If you like sweets, don't miss Sedonuts.

4:19pm on 1/16/26 by JoeyPotter98

We just looked into Sedona with friends! Ultimately decided on London. But Sedona will stay on the list so let us know how it goes!

NEW: I do NOT usually post OVER median listings, but this one is a weird anomaly: Funny to see a $160 room that is actually 33% OVER median for the month of January! There have only been 3 or 4 HH listings in January that were more than 1-night, so...

3:01pm on 12/15/25 by JJT (staff)

I don't think I highlighted this one yet - originally appeared a couple of days ago at a #supermeh $500/night - especially being a 7-nighter which will likely be harder to find a market for. Yesterday it dropped by $125/night to a REALLY nice $375/night!

Have not seen many Jambo studio prices this low for Oct & Nov & when they do appear they are MUCH closer to check in date. If I were to speculate, I'd say both of these might end up in the category where the price RISES in the next day or three...

12:13pm on 12/22/25 by JJT (staff)

Believe it or not - this sub-$200 SSR studio is "only" 14% under median vs month of Sept historical prices. But, I am thinking ANY Deluxe resort that low is a 101% win.

In truth: chances are we'll see more SEPT SSR @ this price or less as we get closer. Of course: past performance may not depict future availability. ;) There were a fair number more lower listings in 2024 than there were this past Sept.

12:24pm on 12/23/25 by JJT (staff)

Once you get to sub $200 prices in WDW resorts, we're talking small volume in the overall scheme. See charts in forum thread: https://forum.touringplans.com/t/dvc-you-there-now-with-bonus-content/87420/4861

12:24pm on 12/23/25 by JJT (staff)

Not a cheapo room, but for fun: If you're looking for a 1-night splurge, here's a huge price drop! There have only been 38 listings for this room from 2023 to date, price is among the lowest seen.

This one is not even close to the lowest price recorded for a 2BR Riv in March, but well below median. ..and FWIW the much lower listings appeared within a few weeks of check in date.

This, one is a super deal for April. While we might see some lower priced ones as time moves on, if I needed a room in this time frame I would not sit on it hoping for a crazy deal:

12:29pm on 12/24/25 by JJT (staff)

3-night AK Kidani Studio 04/23 for $347/night or 21% under https://dvcrentalstore.com/guests/reservations/a0fUd00000BPEW5IAP

12:29pm on 12/24/25 by JJT (staff)

BTW: That's another interesting example of the more specific monthly median being useful: compared to all listings this one only falls 1% under median. But, because APR is a super-charged month, is really 21% under in that time frame.

12:30pm on 12/24/25 by JJT (staff)

Thank you JJT! We spent time in a Poly Resort Studio Room.First time renters. Great deal and I would have never imagined before I joined this group we could do this!!! We loved it and celebrated an early Christmas there!

While we will likely see a fair number of various length OKW listings at this price point between now and December, if you are looking for a longer stay this is very likely your shot. *insert Hamilton gif here*

10:13am on 1/13/26 by JJT (staff)

Thank you so much @JJT!! Question: seriously considering one of the OKW rentals for May, though they've been available for a while even though they seem like a super good price to me. Any thoughts on why they've been sitting for so long?

1:15pm on 1/13/26 by sunshinedaisies

@sunshinedaisies Hard to know! I do find it odd they are still around at that price, if had to guesstimate perhaps the dates are just early enough that many schools aren't done for summer yet(?) Also, suppose DVCStore could just slow at updating the site.

The largest number of BLT listings in DEC at this lower price point appear RIGHT NOW at 11 months out with a much smaller group showing up over next 60 days or so. Then mostly quiet until under 100 days out when a trickle of them may start.

I forget the name - think Disney unpacked- with @len and Jim shull- but think it's pattern only. Jim Shull has another YouTube series running too i think

Presume you've watched the Disney plus seriess?
