Thanks! Did they have other colors too? Smee and Hook are definite costumes for 2 races, but I have been thinking about Wendy instead of Tink themed for the 10k. Although, being in the $1 section, I think I might be able to swing both.

My guess is Big Thunder Ranch too. I think that's where they do them for the other parties. They probably had to change it, like you said, b/c of Frozen and when everything went on sale, the Frozen DCA takeover wasn't planned yet.
If the course stays the same, we headed down Katella. We started like the 1/2, went backstage by the offices I think, then DL and DCA, then Harbor by TOT down to Hojo, around Manchester to Disney Dr to Harbor to Katella to the finish in PPH like the 1/2. I'm just wondering if the course will be the same b/c of the castle and drama last year. They had the pace timing off and closed the course at TOT a little earlier than should've been and a lot of people didn't finish. They could change and flip the course to start like the 1/2, left at Hojo to Disney then into the parks for the rest of the mileage to avoid later road closings and problems?
Luckily we're driving down, b/c I think we might have a few bags of souvenirs to come home with.I hadn't heard that the drama from last year was due to bad pace timing. It looked like most of those swept at mile 4 had splits higher than 16 minute miles. -- Suzanne
Yeah, I think that was part of it too. People on fb were saying that the bikes and balloon ladies were off and that the ladies were going a little faster than the 16, who knows it could have been upset Tinks who wanted that 1 pic and waited in long lines to their own detriment and didn't want to admit it? At SW though, they were very vocal both at the 10k and 1/2 about where you were pace-wise to let you know how far ahead of the ladies and bikes you were and I hadn't noticed that before at any of the races.
For a Smee like onesie...now is the time to try and find one with spring merchandise coming out...especially stripes. Check out Janie and Jack, Gymboree, Children's Place, Baby Gap (they used to be big on stripes) even Carters... just Google it and keep your fingers crossed.
For the kids race....for this one the older kids go first. I just may need to take my sweaty self over there and meet up with my family. In case I don't make it....I'll have everything ready to go for our runner and let DH take it from there. We're at Stovalls so that should help with the timing.
Never gone on race weekend Saturday. When we're there, Saturdays the lines are about 45+. We usually go to Pixie Hollow after the 1/2 on Monday morning first thing and it's still a LONG LONG line !! Maybe just tag team it-one of you stand in line while the other has the baby and just meet up near the front of the line. People do that ALL the time. We just went to see Olaf and did the snow frozen thing and even early morning 1 parent would hold a spot for the kids to join them later in line. With a baby or little one...the CM are really understanding if you have waited in line for 1hr and a kid situation occurs.
Thanks for the onesie ides! I'll check them out. We're at the Quality Inn a few down from Stovall's this year. I wanted to stay at Stovall's but got a good deal at Quality Inn and no charge for parking which is nice. As for Pixie Hollow 45 min!?! Ugh!?! I'll think/hope we'd pass, but knowing my sister...
Love Marri's .... it's a must before any race.
From what I've read most places including other forums, none of the castle temporary walls or covers will be removed before the big reveal weekend which bums me out.
I hope all the sources are wrong
I think if they're done they could open it earlier. They also could be doing a soft opening especially since they're changing out the cameras and film itself. I'd just wander over there a few times that weekend to check it out.
