Well after the Kessel Run Challenge line, it’s all down hill this weekend.

Was that line to pick up bibs or shirts? I hope its not crazy like that tomorrow night, I have a small window to pick everything up unless its once inside you are good to go but I would realy love to get both my shirt and bib tomorrow and not "HAVE" to go back on saturday for my shirt, although I do want to try that foam rolling event they got on saturday.

It’s just the line to get the virtual medal that was bad. All the other lines including merch were just walk right up.

We waited in the hall to get into the room to wait to look at the merchandise. I ‘think’ they’re trying to restock between waves because we saw several cartloads go in while we were in the hall.

I got a Vader hoodie and broke down and got the Kessel shirt. I really tried to like the challenge purple shirt but couldn’t. This is the cheapest I’ve ever gotten out of an expo!

No Marvel summer shorts medals were on display either.

Total time at the expo was 2 hours. Getting bibs=15 minutes. Looking at merch = 15 minutes. Picking up race shirts = 5 minutes. Rest was standing in either Kessel or checkout lines. Kessel line was crazy!

 

[DMak]

Ugh. I wouldn't care if they would just allow catalog orders of stuff that sells out, but otherwise, I think no bib, no merch at least until Friday.

I so agree! I won't be there until tomorrow afternoon and I don't hold out any hope at all that I'll be able to get what I want. I really wish they would fix this. It seems patently unfair to those who pay money for the races and actually participate!

 

[PaDisneyCouple]

Hope so too, I really just want that 10k magnet (first race so yeah ) and maybe a 10k i did it shirt. But let's see. Wouldn't mind finding something else also. I agree with Chasing Dopey, I wish at a minimum there was some merchandise held back for people with bibs that can buy it up until the last minute.

I'd like to see it be runners only for all RD events until Saturday.

Did they keep Champion as the supplier for the event shirts? Its seemed like they've been transitioning away from Champion to their unknown WDW Parks and Resorts brand. DS 2018 had Champion, Nike, and WDW P&R items.

Race shirts are still champion. Not sure on all other merch. Disney still has a big sponsorship deal with a champion so they won’t get rid of them completely.

Weird, I literally just checked the Springs location for those and no dice. They had phone cases but no bands, like last year.

I wonder if Launch Bay will have the bands

They were on display with other runDisney medals over in the main expo building where you get the free shirts

Someone pointed out on FB that they changed the rules on where spectators can be and what they can hand out. I wonder how strictly this will be enforced. Kinda disappointing, I always liked all the people cheering in front of AK.

 

[Wendy98]

1)Cool!
2)Paging @Wendy98 I think she has gotten an age group prize at a runDisney race!

Yes, I have gotten 2 awards for Run Disney--marathon 2017 and this year's marathon. I am pretty sure it is 5 deep.

I am wondering the same. I think maybe places where races run at the Boardwalk or something they can enforce such but WWoS or Cone Alley isn't going to be enforced unless they add more security.

 

[Dis_Yoda]

Well that makes some of the boring stretches less fun.

 

[CaliforniaGirl09]

For the first time in 9 races no race merch for me. Last year at the Dark Side I bought a ton. I'm a sucker for half-zips and track jackets, but I've got too many black jackets and the color of the half-zip wasn't for me. Oh well. I dumped $150 on new pair of Hoka's so that was more than enough

Just saw a photo from the expo with them on display.

Only thing we saw were the current Star Wars and Kessel and Paris 2018. Everyone was excited that Kessel has a different color lanyard/ribbon thing this year.

 

[Dopey 2020]

Alright, no more lurking. After a Castaway Cay 5K in 2016, I have done everything up to my first marathon this past January and I am ready to admit that I am an addict.
Got in yesterday afternoon, hit the expo first thing today, and actually met Jeff Galloway.
Now I’m ready for 22.4 miles of fun with several thousand new friends.
