I heard magical express tags have started to ship. Has anyone received their package yet?

Yep, I got mine yesterday. Need Magic Bands so I can ship those out I my travel buddies!

I got DME tags today and I'm not even flying! I'm taking Amtrak (with a sleeping compartment). I still can't figure out how I got them since I was never going to fly.

We got ours tonight! Animal Kingdom Lodge bound in 33 days

LOL. Well, it might be a lesson in the future to put the runs at the *start* of the holiday!



Thanks. I keep forgetting about Altra, as I've never seen them in person.

Definitely. I always start the trip with the race weekend. Then I'm not as tired and neither are my legs!

Weird. You must have checked a box somewhere without realizing it.

I love it!! You look adorable! I like how you attached it. Mine came with a large pin that will probably open and stab me at some point....lol

@TeeterTots - I found some good tutorials online that suggested tying it to your bra so you don't get choked or stabbed. I would be worried about stabbing or ripping my shirt.

I finished Elsa about 10 mins ago. I am torn which to wear for the half and 10k! I am still needing a headband for Elsa but nearly there.

I got the DME tags for my parents, but not for my room yet. I always have trouble with those things. We are getting in late Wednesday so we won't be using them anyway.

I've got my first costume done. I painted the rose with puffy paint and acrylics. I'm going to wear this for the half.



My other two costumes are going to be more elaborate.

 

[courtneybeth]

That rose is gorgeous. Great job!!!

Is there anyway to deferred? I don't think I'm gonna be able to go

 

[bellanotte10]

If you booked through a TA they get the DME paperwork right?

 

[Ariel484]

No more deferrals...sorry!!

You can email runDisney and try to plead your case but be aware that it's unlikely they'll do anything. I'm so sorry you can't go!

Was reading up on pace groups offered at the race and am scratching my head how this will work if you can't jump corrals. I want to run with the 2:45 group and should be in a corral close to it with a 1:13 10k time submitted.

But how do those who didn't submit or are faster now do this? What if I wanted to run with the 2:30 group? Makes no sense.... RNR let's you jump corrals to be with your pace and I cannot fathom how Disney does this.

You have to be in corral in pace group to start with them. You can move back but not forward.
At the PHM last year I ran with the Cliff pace but at the Tink Half the pace group that's I wanted was one corral behind me. I just ran on my own.

 

[courtneybeth]

Oh wow. That's crazy. Hopefully I'm close to the 2:45 sign!

That's fantastic! Did you do that freehand? Either way, I'm impressed.

Unfortunately not. If you got your bib through a travel agent, I think there's a way, but otherwise no.

I don't know how Galloway pace groups work, but Cliff pace groups had a booth at the expo and you could meet the pacers and find out what corral each started in.

Thanks. I found a rose online that I liked and I traced the outline in chalk to give me an idea of size before I painted it. So, sort of freehand, but not my original art.
