I am excited for Monsters Inc./University and Incredibles.

I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am kind of surprised, though - no Cars. I would have thought that would have been a no-brainer with running through Carsland and all that.

And Cars 3 being released in June.

I totally forgot about that! Unless the challenge will have some kind of tie-in with Cars, that seems to be a lost opportunity.

Now I'm worried that the Double Dare might sell out since it'll be the first Pixar themed year. Was waiting to sign up when they're offering a discount.

I feel like the double dare challenge medal will have a bunch of different pixar charachters on it...

 

[rowan1813]

Anyone else's thought process totally centered on costume ideas now? Just me? Okay...

Definitely not just you, LOL. I've been on Etsy looking at Toy Story costumes for the last 15 minutes

Im currently at my office and I am not able to focus on anything else...

RunDisney typically does not offer discounts. You might be able to find one through a TA desperate to sell bibs, but that would be later in the summer and you're taking a big chance on availability and lack of popularity.

You and me both. I should be grading right now and I can't focus right now.

They do at the Health Expo for each race and I believe you can only get the discount there. They had discounts for Dark Side Half and Challenge and the Tinkerbell Half and Pixie Dust Challenge, when I was there for the 2017 Light Side registration. They did this last year too for Avengers when I was at the Health Expo for 2016 Disneyland Half. I think it was about $25-$30 off. They do it for the ones that are having trouble selling out.

Me three.

 

[courtneybeth]

I'm running as Disney Villains still, though Pixar costumes are very tempting. Must stay true to what I've already planned and purchased.

I am still bouncy and happy about this theme. Good job Disney!

 

[darienne8187]

Edna mode for 5k.
Boo for 10k. pig tails and all.


but who knows I will probably change my mind 20,000 more times before september.

The wording on the Double Dare is "Celebrating Pixar Animation Studios" so I'd bet dollars to donuts that Luxo Jr makes an appearance on the Dbl Dare medal.

 

[darienne8187]

That would be amazing if Luxo Jr. was on it! If i was a more experienced runner I would do the Double Dare just for that reason.

Just remember everyone: NO CAPES!

I would love the lamp as a medal.

(And no Tow Mater!)
