Official 2017 Tinker Bell Half Marathon Weekend!

Does anyone have recommendations on how to get from lax to Disneyland resort? I was planning on using the Disneyland express but we land at 4:10 and the next dre bus won't come until 5. I'd like to get to the expo as soon as possible. Thanks!!

I've used SuperShuttle to get from LAX. It takes a little longer because there are other people on the shuttle, but the price is good - I think $30 rt. Also, if you're scheduled to land at 4:10, factor in time to get to the gate, get off the plane, walk through the airport, and collect any checked luggage (if applicable). That will probably get you a lot closer to 5:00 - if not past it.

My UBER trips cost anywhere from 39-45 dollars.. it's door to door service and the quickest.

Just as a warning: this is "moving" week at LAX and a lot of airlines are shuffling terminals, so traffic is likely to be worse than usual within the airport. This will affect Uber/Lyft pickups in that the designated areas for that are up on the departures level (where a lot of lost people are going to be looking for the right place to check in), so you may or may not have delays in your driver getting to the pickup point.

It's always triple from Chicago or I'd fly to orange country every time!

Haagen-Dazs for breakfast?

Ha ha ha! We are here now, and my girls both wondered if I required ice cream before running???!!

Well yes!

Ice cream = dairy = calcium = strong bones = excellent running

Any one else heading to the expo early tomorrow??

Flying ~out~ of Orange County is a whole other adventure. someone panicked on our flight out on Monday because they didn't know about the engine issues and how they pull back.

Thankfully I've had great luck in the many times I've gone through there... fingers crossed!

I have an odd request for anyone running the 10K on Saturday. If you are close enough to hear/see, would someone be willing to record the national anthem being sung for me? I'm pretty sure as a non runner I could not get nearly close enough.

Is it weird that even though I won't be at the expo today I'm still SO EXCITED that the expo opens today? Merch merch merch merch!

Now I have to be patient because it's Central time zone here

 

[HockeyMomNH]

So jealous of everyone who is there already! We don't leave until early tomorrow, and I have a million things to get done at work and at home before we go. It's going to be a very long day!

I'm in corral B and I like to stay at the front of the corral so I will try my best! I'm going to be a little crazy this race and bring my real camera since my phone takes terrible night video.

All checked in, I have to leave my house at 2:45 am tomorrow to make it to the airport by 4 am for my 6 am flight! Someone please post pics of all the merch today, it will help me get through the day at work!

I'm not sure what corral I'm in for the 10K yet, but I'm in C for the Half, so guessing I'll be somewhat close? If I am I'll give it a shot, too.

Just checking the computer one last time before showering and wrapping up my packing! I jump on a plane in a few hours and will be at the expo this afternoon. Can't believe it's finally here!!!
