BF and I were trying to guess...I think they'll be around $175! The WDW Marathon expo is open, so surely someone has posted about it somewhere! I'm going on the hunt...

That wouldn't be horrible. I was planning to buy a new pair of Mizunos before the Princess, but after seeing these decided to hold out in the off chance that they will have some at the Tink Expo next week. But since they are stability shoes, they probably won't work for me anyway -- I'm a neutral

[Cripey]

Well...on the WISH FB page it says the shoes were $125 and were gone in a matter of minutes. Bummer. I can deal with the $125 but won't be at Tink or the Princess expo early enough if they are going that fast. I guess there's always ebay...I'm sure they'll be there soon.

Yeah, I'm in neutral shoes too, but figured I'd just wear these around the parks because they are so darn cute!

[niclodn]

Dang. I won't be there early enough either.

Have a fun trip.

Thanks! Although checking out the weather... cold might be better. Race time Sat. is 63 and mostly cloudy which would be nice, but the humidity is 97%. Little worried about that part. It wasn't even that bad for the Honolulu race last year.

If I don't get a chance to get back on before you drive down, have a safe drive. Hopefully the traffic won't be bad!

That is insane. It's like the Tink D & B bags last year.

I really hope they don't get any bids. IMHO that is SO wrong.

Wow--I keep on forgetting the humidity issue. Hope it changes for you.


Thanks-we are leaving early Thurs. morning. Hope to be in the park by early afternoon. Finally going to ck out the Earl of Sandwich this trip.

I'll be on my way in one week!

Although, if I'm being honest, I'm a little unnerved about it this week. Every time I turn on the news they are talking about the problems/electrical fires/investigations going on this week with the new 787 Dreamliner aircraft. Guess what I'm booked on? I heard on GMA this AM that there was supposed to be an FAA "decision" today? I kind of came in on the tail end of the report though so I don't know exactly what "decision" they were speaking of...I'm concerned that if they ground all of them, will I get bumped if they replace that flight with a smaller aircraft? Cancelled altogether? Maybe I should upgrade my seat to the Economy Plus that United keeps pushing in emails to me...maybe that would give me some sort of priority if the flight gets reassigned. Ugh...this could be a stressful week!

I would have a "plan B" just in case. Then you will have one less thing to worry about.

Things can change, but the forecasts are starting to show highs in the upper 70's on race day with lows in the mid 40s!
