Marathon Weekend 2027

[Barca33Runner]

The pre-order merch is making me think I may be able to skip the Disney Merch Arena altogether this coming year (depending on whether I’ll be able to leave separately from the rest of my group). If those muted colors carry over through everything it’s an easy pass no matter what races I run.

I'm officially in for Dopey #2!!

The exorbitant focus on the half is already giving me fomo and it’s not even general registration yet

Might as well use it as an excuse to do the full.

Finally found time to take a look at the pre-order items more closely (thank you @The Expert for posting the pictures). After pre-ordering yet another jacket for W&D there’s nothing here that is making me want to pre order. I actually like some of the merch - just don’t really feel a need for it right now. I can wait until the expo.

Is it just me or does there seem to be more available this year for pre-order?

I think it’s about the same as usual. Pins. Magnet. 2 weekend jackets. Spirit jersey. Passholder shirt. Dopey specific long sleeve. Goofy specific long sleeve.

The Donald jacket is additional.

I’ve talked about the need for more pre order merch in every single survey I get.

I’m planning to register for the full on Tuesday . I KNOW I’d be missing out if I didn’t run it.

The fomo is purely for the half itself. I would usually run a few easy miles the day before a marathon so I think I could balance running some early highway miles and walking the rest. The half would also give me the opportunity to wear this amazing homemade costume again.



My biggest concerns are the cost & lack of sleep. Fortunately, the cost isn’t that big of a deal. I earned a $300 Disney gift card from work and they also reimburse $150 in gym/race registrations per year. So, it’s basically only $50?(Let’s ignore the opportunity cost ) #disneymath

So that leaves sleep…to put it nicely, I’m not a good human when I don’t get adequate sleep. It’s in the top 5 reasons that I never wanted children. But maybe waking up early for the half would make sleeping before the marathon easier???

My Disney math was: I can get 5% off gift cards from Target, plus I had a Circle deal to get $25 in Circle rewards if I spent $120 two times, so I saved about $40 off the cost of my Dopey registration, plus I have $25 to spend on whatever at some point in the future.

Late to the party! I actually like the toned down merch! I’m not a huge Donald fan, but blue is my favorite color, so it works !

SAFD:
This is hard. It was not made easier by reading answers either. Disney has so many great movies…
