SOLD OUT! 👑🏃‍♀️✨

Demand for the 2027 Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend was nothing short of incredible.

The Disney Princess 5K presented by AdventHealth, Disney Princess 10K presented by AdventHealth, Disney Princess Half Marathon presented by AdventHealth, and the Disney Fairy Tale Challenge presented by AdventHealth have all officially sold out.

After today's registration delays and a long wait for runners in the virtual queue, the remaining race inventory disappeared quickly once registration reopened.

If you were lucky enough to secure your spot, congratulations! 🎉 If not, keep an eye on runDisney for any future updates and registration opportunities.

Which race are you running next February? 👑🏰✨

A quick trip back to 1994. 🇺🇸🎬

One of the things that made the Streets of America so special at Disney's-MGM Studios wasn't just the incredible city backdrops, it was everything happening between them. From Streetmosphere performers interacting with guests to patriotic games, music, and spontaneous entertainment, the streets always felt alive.

This brief home video clip captures a small moment from an area that became a favorite memory for so many Disney fans. Looking back, it's amazing how much atmosphere and energy existed in every corner of the park.

What's even more incredible is that the very area seen in this footage would eventually become part of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. A place once filled with Streetmosphere performers, city streets, and patriotic celebrations would later transform into the planet Batuu.

Who else remembers spending time on the Streets of America before the transformation? ❤️🤍💙

🎥✨ Digging through my old home videos recently, I came across this footage I filmed during a visit to Disney-MGM Studios back in 1994.

🌈 This particular moment captures the iconic Wizard of Oz scene from The Great Movie Ride, when the Wicked Witch of the West suddenly appeared in a cloud of smoke to confront guests before vanishing and sending us on our way down the Yellow Brick Road toward the Emerald City. 🧙‍♀️💨

It's amazing how well these scenes hold up more than 30 years later. And for longtime Disney Parks fans, there's an interesting rumor that's floated around for years: that the Wicked Witch animatronic from this scene may have eventually been repurposed into Kylo Ren aboard Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. 🌟🚀 Disney has never confirmed it, but it's one of those fun pieces of park lore that makes revisiting footage like this even more interesting.

📼 A small piece of Disney history preserved on my family's camcorder and now shared all these years later. ❤️
