Can they get on the magic bandwagon out here already??

No! No infernal plastic bangles fit for a toddler or '80s teen!

And you would still need the card for the amenity, just like you need it for discounts at wdw. And ID.

Anybody know the names of the balloon ladies for this weekend for runner tracking?

Anyone have any insight on how crowded ESPN Zone might be for the Pats playoff game on Saturday? It's at 5:15. Or, another good spot to watch the game?

Having watched quite a few playoff games at ESPN Zone, it does get pretty crowded in there. They usually put the game on outside and set up some seating for I viewing out there as well.

Weather looks to be clearing up. Rain today and then clear skies the next three days.

Thanks for the rain update - been crazy wet weather here in Northern California the past week - all the dam gates (Folsom and Nimbus) are wide open and no one is allowed on the American River due to the class 5 rapids formed by the extreme increase in water flow (75,000 cubic feet of water per second being released). Full rain gear for final long runs and sustaining runs (did 8.5 miles yesterday) - headed to DL tomorrow afternoon.

Heading out tomorrow morning for the Rebel Challenge weekend. I like the shirts, but overall I liked the designs for them and the medals too from last year much better. I thought last year's counterpoints of the Light Side 10K (X-Wing) and Dark Side 10K (TIE Fighter) were great. No need to change them every year.

Good luck everyone! As we all run, just remember to say "I am one with the Force. The Force is with me." ;-)

We're in south elk grove. Lots of drama around here right now with the flooding but fortunately were far enough away that as long as our Creek holds, we'll be dry.
Leaving on a couple more hours. Should hit anaheim by bedtime! Ready to do this!

I love the shirts, especially the focus on the main characters in all 3 films for the year of the 40th anniversary of Star Wars in the 1/2 and challenge shirts. Still expecting the worst when I actually see the challenge medal. That needed a lot more detail.

 

[durantigger]

Is there a speaker series for the Expo?

 

[Sleepless Knight]

Apparently the ornament is pre-order only. Just a heads up for anyone who wanted one. Looks like I won't be getting one. They dropped the ball on not letting people know about this ahead of time.

Here's a photo of the dam release from my run yesterday - looking forward to drying off tomorrow in Anaheim!

Which ornament? I picked up a yoda shoe ornament today.

It wasn't a pre-order for you?

 

[jaxonp]

Nope. People were grabbing them 5 at a time. I purchased one for myself and one for my sister. There were about 4 left but when I first got in there at 1015 there was a whole wall if them. This is the new it item I'm afraid.

Is there a wine glass this year?

That's probably because it was reported that there were no extra ornaments for people who didn't pre-order. LEt's see if they end up on eBay.

I saw a report a few days ago mentioning they'd have a few on hand... the guy that does the merchandise blog for disney mentioned that.

I think so, in the chaos of trying to get some things I wasn't able to focus on it. There were so many things. A special yoda medal rack that went really quick. I should have picked it up but it was too late minutes later.

Good Luck & May the Force be with you all running this weekend!
