Official 2016 5th Anniversary Tinker Bell Half Marathon Weekend!

Those shirt colors make me think that Tink went to a rave.

Haha. I was thinking the same thing. Does everyone get glowsticks and lollipops at the finish line?

And have a finish line party under black lights? That would be awesome!

So the 10K "I DID IT SHIRT" is purple but no clue yet on the color of the race shirt? Anticipation is killing me!

I'm picking up that Pandora charm. I found out that my MBA graduation gift from my mother in law is a "Disney Pandora Bracelet" starter set. Woot woot!

They're making it very easy to not spend money. Too bad, because I really liked last year's merch, the retro/classic designs and such. If any wine glasses are left when I get there, I may purchase one of those.

Right there with you. This is going to be a very cheap expo for me.

I just hope that the design on the shirts for purchase doesn't reflect the design on the race shirts, or they may go into my "make a quilt someday with these race shirts" pile.

Except it will be all EDM music. Though there is enough glitter at the finish line to make it work...

I actually like everything! I was expecting to hate it because Darkside was such a disappointment for me. Now I'm going to have to make sure I'm at the expo early.

Tinkerbell is very proud of her derriere on quite a bit of this merch ...

 

[VickiHD]

I definitely liked last years merch better.....but who am I kidding, I'll be spending $$$.

I cannot stop laughing...so true!

Green PDC makes up for the pale orange that Dopey was for the "I Did It!" shirt. At least for me. Green is my favorite color and orange in any shade is horrible on me. I still wear that Dopey shirt with pride, though, even if it does look horrible.

I'm foreseeing a much more expensive race weekend for me than usual...

Does anyone have any experience with morning-of packet pickup? I got a notification today that my flight is pushed back 3 hours and I'm not even getting into LAX until Friday at 8:00 pm. I called runDisney and they said it would be possible to get it the morning of the race. Has anyone else had to do this before?

Thanks for posting the Expo Speaker Series. I'm a little sad not to see the "Original Tinker Bell" Margaret K (something) not having a slot this year. She was always entertaining with her story telling.

I hope there are wineglasses left by the time I get there on Thursday afternoon and possibly the jacket. Who knows though.

Okay ladies...I will be waiting to see photos of the half shirt tomorrow...please post so I can pack matching shorts.
Plus I just want to see it!
Ran my last run this morning, flying to the West coast Friday!

That stinks!!!

My BFF's husband did the morning-of packet pick-up for the WDW marathon, and it was fine. Make sure to bring your signed waiver and some form of ID. I think you can then go to the expo and grab your shirt(s).

My flight gets in tomorrow (!!) at 9:15ish and I'll be heading right to the DL Hotel, so if runDisney hasn't Instagram'd them by then (and I'm guessing they will at some point tomorrow), I'll try to grab pictures of the shirts (I'm getting 5K and 10K shirts but not half and challenge).

 

[VickiHD]

Heading down to DL now !!!
Safe travels everyone.

Please some one post photos here....I have no Facebook, instagram or other social media. I have been know to go off the "grid" for weeks at a time. Currently I am at "home" and have this little message board to distract me from doing other things.
