Fun evening at MK! Beautiful shot of the castle! It never looks as magical as when it's lit up with those icicles!
I agree! I love the castle with the lights!Fun evening at MK! Beautiful shot of the castle! It never looks as magical as when it's lit up with those icicles!
Yeah I definitely wanted to check out the vendors but runDisney screwed that up.Those expo pictures are unbelievable! I’m glad you at least got some stuff after that wait. I wonder how many people did what you did, waited for merch and then didn’t even check out the vendors? What a massive screw-up on runDisney’s part!
Solid MK night and how awesome to just walk there! Looking forward to your 5K recap.
Luckily the rain only stayed around for that drive through the arch.Thank you for mentioning that you started this report! I'm glad I'm not too far behind.
That may be the rainiest arch picture I have ever seen!
I love the colors in the Poly lobby picture.
That was a standard view?!? I'll take looking at the parking lot if I can see Space Mountain and the castle behind it.
The rooms at BLT look really great! The Contemporary doesn't do much for me, décor-wise, but I love the size and decoration and LOCATION of BLT.
Yeah the expo was not fun.The Expo sounds like a nightmare. That is so frustrating to have long lines and then not being able to purchase the things you wanted.
But wow, you had a pretty incredible end to your night. Pirates, a snack, Winnie the Pooh, Haunted and Big Thunder (my favorite as well) and a close walk back to your resort sounds awesome!
That was the only time I got on Pirates this trip but I’m glad I did.My goodness that expo was certainly a mess and that sounds like a great night at the Magic Kingdom to me. Pirates is one of my favorites. I am so glad I rode it about 9 or 10 times on our last trip in 2016.

I would have done the same thing. Makes me wonder how the vendor sales were this year compared to prior years.We did the same thing. We were so angry after leaving the merchandise area that we did not even venture to the vendors. We just left. I sent a long email to RD earlier this week with my frustrations about the Expo. It was the worst part of the whole weekend.
I agree that Disney needs to put some kind of limit on the merchandise. It isn't fair to the runners who earned the right to wear the gear.Disney needs to either only let runners in the first day of the expo or put major limits on things like only 5 per person.
My sister and I ran in the 10th anniversary half marathon and the expo was more like a normal marathon expo back then. I guess Disney realized they could make a lot of money by providing more race merchandise.Yeah I have never been to an anniversary year so it was definitely more crazy with that but this was just crazier than I have ever seen it.
We like the Tex Mex menu better than burgers, too.I think Pecos got better when it changed to a Tex Mex menu instead of burgers. It just fits better there.

They announced about a month ago it will change in February so it was nice to see it one last time.I love pirates too! I guess because they announced it so long ago I was already expecting the red head scene to be changed. Pleasant surprise to get one more glimpse of the original!
Looking forward to your 5k recap!
