I think you're on track for how it was set up in the past (just checked the '17 event guide) BUT for Wine & Dine it was a different layout so things could change in '18. It will be interesting once the event guide comes out to see if it's the same or not.Packet pick up: Please refresh my memory!
I am doing Dopey, and I pre-ordered a set of pins. If I remember correctly from last year, I only "have to" go to the Field house to pick up my bibs, T shirts, and then I exit and re-enter to pick up my pre-paid merchandise (pins), right? I don't have to go to the Jostens center at all, if I have no interest in "shopping?"
My Dh is doing the 10k--his bib and T shirt pick up is outdoors?
My 17 year old son is doing the half marathon. People doing the half must go to the Field house to pick up their bibs, and then the Jostens center to get their t shirt? Except, since he is underage, a parent/guardian must be the one to actually do this for him?
Just trying to figure out our schedule.
Thats terrible. I understand the agreement with Clif ending and if you have a new "nutrition" sponsor and they cant supply gels you should find somebody who should.
Yep I use sportbeans.
Ohhh that excites me. The gels were always hit or miss because the caffeine ones did not work well for me while any sports beans will do.
From what I can tell this definitely has references to the races so I'm surprised non-runners want it. I guess because it's small they like it better? The angry looking Donald says '13.1 Miles' from what I can tell and the Goofy Challenge also looks to be one of the icons. There is also the words marathon on the one with the red background but that's all I can make out.The marathon weekend bags normally actually (gasp!) have reference to the races in the prints, and I think that makes non-runners more hesitant to actually buy them.In past years bags from this weekend as well as Disneyland Half weekend (again, where they actually put the races in the patterns) have ended up for sale at the outlets months later at a discount. My very non-scientific research (reading the Dooney groups) tells me this print is a little more well-received by non-runners, so it may sell better, but larger, more detailed pictures would really help I think.
Tragic.
Yep! I never understand why non-runners want the race bags.
Maybe once there are larger/more high-resolution pictures of the bags released people won't want them, because I agree, there are definitely references to Marathon Weekend on it besides the hangtag.Good thing he's cute!
Be careful running your first runDisney event. They are addictive. And, ask away. We are a very welcoming group.
I do understand if the Princess/Tink don't reference the race outside of the tags if a non-runner is a big Princess or Tink fan but otherwise why would you want something for an event you didn't participate in. Unless you have every Disney D&B pattern in which case... wow.Yep! I never understand why non-runners want the race bags.
