Agree with all of these points! I did the last Expedition Everest race and had so much fun!!!

I kind of agree but from a business perspective I think they sell more of it at the expo than they would at the finish. I don’t think the store at the finish gets nearly the traffic the expo store gets.I don't think they need to get rid of it but sell it at the finish line or in the expo after the race is run. The marathon weekend half "I did it" should not be available on Friday because you didn't do it yet.

Yeah I didn’t know that either. 4 time finisher here.There's a store at the finish line?
(Said by someone who has done the weekend three times and never visited it! hahaha)
Yes which is exactly part of my point. People don't go in it really.There's a store at the finish line?

Possibly but I also think people don’t carry money on them during races. Yes magicbands however not everyone wants to charge to their room that way. The expo is kind of the best option.If people knew the only place to get the "I Did It" shirts was at the finish line you might see way more people there. In that way it could drive traffic to it.

Yeah I can understand that for sure.I don't mind having the "I Did It" stuff as an option for people to buy, regardless of when. My complaint is why do you have to plaster "I Did It" on just about everything! When I started running rD races, you had the I Did It shirts and then you had all the other merchandise for the race distances and weekend. Over the last few years, it seems like they've extended I Did It to just about everything. I love the car decals, but I don't want an I Did It all over it.

HOT SHOWER and REST, on my mind after finishing, not "OH, got to go buy the shirt!"

In the past they have put some merchandise online however this year they didn’t do that.I agree - between the fact I don't generally carry money/credit cards during a race, and the fact I didn't even know there was a merch tent at the finish, that's not a good option for Disney trying to sell finisher gear. I do wish they'd either keep the expo open until Sunday or Monday, or set up a pop-up merch location at someplace central like Disney Springs. Runners can be a superstitious bunch, and I'd be willing to bet there are more than a few Disney runners who want to buy the "I Did It!" gear but won't until they've actually finished their races. It's not like Disney to miss an opportunity like that.
