Marathon Weekend 2023

[Z-Knight]

- Every race, including the marathon, will feel like a walk in the park for everyone (no matter how little training occurred in the lead up)

I see what you did there...clever, very clever, but your magic won't work on me.

I’ve never bought the expo merch but that first jacket is great.

Any other lies I should add to the list?

- You really are "almost there" no matter what part of the course you're on.
- You really do look great!

Well they were sucessful in carrying over the theme into the merch, which means I will have money to spend on other things next week. I feel like I needed sunglasses just to look at the pictures the stuff is so bright. Happy for those that liked the theme though.

Nothing stands out to me. Guess I won't have to worry too much about trying to get in the virtual que (but my wife may say otherwise).

Well there goes all my money... the merch is fantastic!

There’s no spirit jersey pictured? did I miss it in there?

Yikes on that loungefly bag. That’s a hard pass for me, but I also don’t usually love the all-over-print ones of those.

Seriously Disney.....pink for women, blue for men. I guess they are taking the throwback theme seriously.

I may be in the minority but I'm loving this stuff! I stand by my GenX cred in saying this is way more 80s than 90s but I really like bright colors and bold patterns. I'm a sucker for purple and am so glad these are not oversize spirit jerseys!




Also, wondering if this is the same lightweight material from the generic rD spirit jersey they sold at W&D? THis also looks like possibly a spirit jersey cut with that seam across the middle, but not sure I love it as a hoodie.

The white hoodie I posted above looks like sprit jersey cut, but with a hood. Maybe? That seam across the middle makes me think that.

Aw, I kind of love that bag! Not sure if I love it enough to spend a ton of money on it though...

I hate all of it lol! Which is totally fine: I wasn’t going to buy anything, regardless, so I’m happy for those who love it!

I love the look of the bag too but I want to see how bold it is in person! At Wine & Dine the Dooney bags were $199. I also don’t love that it doesn’t have side pockets.

I was kind of hoping every single piece of merch would say “I did it!” but it’s only most of them. Oh well.

Right! This merch literally looks like the crappy shirts you can buy at any of the souvenir stores outside of Disney Springs. I am saving soooooooo much money.

I'm def getting that blue jacket, gender coloring be damned!

(Also def get mens sized running shirts since I just like the cut better)

 

[nekonekoneko]

I think I said this when the medals came out, but the merch still fits the "Saved by the Bell" theme.

(but that show ended before the first WDW Marathon was ever run, so anachronistic by the strictest definition of that word)

 

[DisneyMountainWoman]

Ohh love them but I am an 80s baby soo I've this theme. My major issue is that I am flying in on friday... so we shall see what I have available for mw to buy. Hopefully somethings will still be there for my first marathon.
