I've always been interested in the Disney Princess. Just curious, will there be a meetup for the Disney Princess as well? Thank you!

Hey Sulean! We did the Princess last year and had a blast! We decided to do this one so the event would be open to STL men and women. We don't plan on posting the Princess Half as an event since it's so close in time to this one. It's always worth checking Meetup calendars to see if anyone else posts it!

Fun event for sure! Based on the pics, it looks like everyone had a good time. Just to let everyone know for next year... I'm a member of this Meetup group, I own a large house (http://www.homeaway.com/vacation-rental/p375404
) in Orlando very close to Disney, and would be happy to have our group stay there for this event. I'm training this year and hope to join in on the fun as well.Posted January 24 at 11:17 PM
