I’m sorry that my posts have been negative today. Contrary to appearances, thanks to a terrible case of RBF and a little bit of Eeyore-itis, I mostly make the best of most situations and find the good in most things. Today was terribly disappointing.
I felt very bad for all of the volunteers that were taking the brunt of the (justified) anger and disappointment from runners while anyone who had anything to do with this mess was hiding. Sorry to read that so many others shared my disappointment.

What are the chances that it will be way better tomorrow? Or that things will be restocked overnight? I just checked my FPs and meals and I could maybe squeeze a trip in between 2 and 4:30, but I wont spend another 90 minutes in line again.
It’s not Disney blogging sites but yes lots of personal shoppers and ebayers come and buy boat loads to sell online. It happens every time.
Ok this line needs to get moving!

A runner that I was in line with said the same thing - and she said people should have to provide proof of running/bib to get in on day one so that runners can get the stuff first.
Or put limits on merch. Why should people be allowed to buy 20 of the same items.

You will get the gift on the day of your retreat. Just go to the tent - may be before or after you finish. Not sure but they will take care of the tags for you on the band.
No more scary expo!
It doesn't seem right to me that anyone off the street can take away merchandise and cause extra wait times from actual participants just because they want to profit on eBay. They should reserve it for the runners, and then on the last day open it up to the public to buy any merch left available.
I agree but it’s always been this way.

The option is to drive 3.5 hours to Burlington and fly out of there. Of course that includes a 3.5 hour drive on the way back as well. The question is whether I'm up for that.

Unfortnately, runDisney doesn’t care who buys the merchandise, just that someone does. I wish they had more pre-order options (that you can see ahead of time) and everything available to order online after (but then most of us would skip the expo, so the vendors who paid for booths wouldn’t be happy). I REFUSE to pay for early access, so if that means less merch for me, fine.
It’s crappy for sure.
I’d highly encourage people to email runDisney with your feedback.
