No merchandise preview... But i thought it was something new and cool to have Master Sergeant Cedric King be a speaker at the expo on Friday

Ugh. I just went to check in online for my flight. Delta "kindly" rebooked the second leg of my flight tomorrow. Now instead of an hour layover in ATL and an arrival of 7:20 PM into SNA, I now have a nearly four hour layover with a 10:05 PM arrival. That would be 1 AM on my clock. I am currently on the call back list which I am sure will happen while I am driving three kids to swimming.

Woot! I am rebooked and should touch down around noon! (Much better than 10 PM.) I have a lot to do when I get home tonight since I thought I had most of tomorrow to finish packing and getting ready.

I know I'm super local, but I love to use this as a little excuse to have a mini vacation.

Yes! We do this too. I'm so excited for my mini-vacay!

What's the over/under on merch previews going live today... or race shirts?

It's almost noon!

At this rate we will be the ones leaking the merch! SERIOUSLY Disney. I thought they were so hush hush last year because of the anniversary. Now? Who knows.

Good luck to everyone running this weekend!!!!!! I hope you do well and have a fantastic time!!! Don't forget to post pics of merch cause it looks like Disney isn't going to.

OK. Asked a RD person I passed - they have no idea about merch, that's not in their purview. Shirts JUST got delivered and won't be unboxed until the 5-10 pm volunteer shift comes in.

@Keels go have a drink at Trader Sams and see if liquid courage helps! LOL!!!

I hope someone leaks something soon. I'm failing the test of patience.

I'm literally heading To TS's right now lol

Ha! I was actually at ESPN, and now I'm at DCA waiting out a FP before I go back to the hotel for a pool/nap/combo before WoC. 4:30 a.m. came early for ole Keels.

Thanks for the update @Keels!

everyone post lots of expo pics tomorrow please. We don't fly until friday, land at LGB at around 3ish, then heading straight over to get to the expo!!! Is there a meet up planned that I missed or should I scroll back thru all the pages?

 

[StarGirl11]

Currently killing time while waiting for the next ART bus. I'm kind of feeling like someone at RD forgot or just dropped the ball or something. I went to print my waiver and then trying to kill more time went to check the virtual bag which is also missing. That's usually up a week or two in advance.

I like how you think!!!

Those of you doing C2C...are bringing your WDW medal for an "All the Medals" picture? Is that a thing?

I hadn't thought about that, but I might. Although, mine is easy to bring since I'm driving distance. Also, I don't know that I will bring it to the race or anything ...

I was thinking more about taking a photo after I showered and returned to the park. I hate to carry anything when I run and don't plan to check a bag.

Umm ... Well ... The thing is ...

That bag has got to weigh a ton, Keels!!

Ugh. It really does. For Tink, they searched my bag because of the medals - so, I thought today I was being smart and sending them through in the huge Ziplock in their own bin.

Nope.

But the TSA guy was real sweet when he said "You can have all your Gold medals back now!" I'm sure he's still trying to figure out what all I had in that plastic bag.

Kimberly Markey has run 100 Disney races and brought all 100 medals to the park. She had to be like specially escorted in because she used a rolling suitcase to bring them in. I've only got three rundisney medals i can't imagine what 100 is like or even Keels bag!
