First timer, bib pickup only during park time? don't want to shop

[Lee from WV]

Princess half-marathon first timer. I'm not a merch person, and had planned to go to the parks Friday and Saturday. ( we arrive 8:15 am on Friday).

What's the strategy to just pick up the bibs as fast as possible? We will be Animal Kingdom on Friday and DHS on Saturday.

Thanks!

Go to the expo 30 minutes before it closes

What @FFigawi said. Note that Expo buses don't run from the parks, but you could Uber/Lyft/Minnie Van from the front of the park. If you have a bit more time, go to the closest resort and take a bus to the Expo from there.

Edit to add that even if not shopping, you'll have to make two stops. Buses or rideshares will drop off down by building A, which is the runDisney official merch and Brooks shoes. You'll go all the way up the hill to the last big building on your left (C on this map) -- there will be signs. That's where you'll get your bib. When you exit, you'll cross over to the big building on the other side of the walkway (B) and go in there to the back of the vendors and get your shirt. You'll need the tear-off from your bib to pick up your shirt. Be sure to review the Expo guide for hours and any other details.
