They had some nice Dopey sweaters last year... Did not see any this time, only the thin running jackets... Meh

if you are into pressed pennies, the race expo machine is on the left as you leave the building right before you get to the restaurant at the exit. these are the designs.

And still only 51¢! The cheapest souvenir of all (which explains why we have a ton of them)

I love the sleepy challenge shirt. My brother would love it. He cheered me when I did Dopey last year.

I’m going to have major FOMO this year but after spending 6 months in physical therapy after running dopey and Star Wars in 2018 with a badly injured ankle... I’ll take the sidelines too and wear the shirt with pride. However I am still getting up at 330 in the morning on Friday to catch my plane out of Boston

@Z-Knight - thanks for sharing the pics and hope you feel better!

Not super impressed with the merch based on your photos - it really seems like rD merch has gone way down in quality and variety over the past couple of years. Don't love the Champion stuff either. I was hoping for a cute warm hoodie or something along those lines - I don't get why they are selling long sleeve tech shirts when that is what you get for free?

For those that bought the race retreat. What color is your wristband? I think I got the wrong one.

Blue - Race Retreat for the marathon only (it says on the band).

@Z-Knight thanks for the photos. Not too impressed either, @BigEeyore . It looks like they're using their "Disney" brand of clothing. I don't see any logo (Nike, Champion, etc.). Got a survey a couple of years ago, and they asked opinions of several different brands, including Polo I think.

Any photos of the race shirts? Have they dropped Champion there too?

ETA: no course map on the back of the I Did It shirts? It was there for DS 2018, but thought folks reported no map for W&D 2018.

Does race merch show up at Disney springs or anywhere else after the expo?

No course map and the design on the front/back of the marathon “I Did It” shirt is almost the same.

I hate to be a pest, but any info on pins and magnets?

There will be a merchandise tent selling stuff in the Epcot parking lot by the food/beer. I don’t know if it’s open after every race or just the full.

Surprisingly some is at the resort stores. I know Pop has some. It’s more generic weekend stuff but they did have the weekend jacket.

They had this really cute photo op in the Dopey bib/shirt pickup area!

That’s how it was for wine and dine too.

So, 31% of 2019 WDW Marathoners are NEWBIES?!
That equals 4650 learning what NOT to do the following year.
