Official Wine and Dine 2016 thread

[pclvnmcky88]

I won't be getting there until tomorrow around 1ish and I expect some things to be gone, or atleast with limited sizing, but most everything should still be there. I've been to the expo three times this year for races and have always been able to find something I was looking for. When I got to princess this year, all the merchandise with the different castles on it was long gone but a lot of stuff was still out there. I wouldn't worry about it too much We'll all find something!

If the glasses are out, Epcot has these cool wine glasses with the world showcase and their respective drinks of choice engraved on them!

The last few races merch selling out has been few and far between with the exception of pins, magnets and inaugural items - and like last day issues. But they have been restocking consistently.

In other news, I am actually getting aggravated right now because they are currently putting everyone in a line, which is out the door, to enter packet pickup. And there are maybe 15 people total down in the packet area. And I see a line down to the parking lot almost to enter Jostens, so I'm guessing it is a similar setup. It doesn't make sense! Haha. Darn it. The wine and dine curse continues...

Thats not really true... Ive been to last 3 races and magnets have sold out at everyone. They are already being posted on ebay. Its unreal... Make everything available for pre purchase!!!

I just realized (being 100% green at this) that I have NO IDEA where to go once we arrive at the Expo location. To get our packets? To buy merch? To get back on a bus? Is there a map on the runD site showing this? or in the event guide? I can print it and study it while in flight! Expo homework!!

Is there always long line to pick up packages when they first open?
We are leaving tonight and will be there tomorrow morning to pick up package first thing in the morning. If we arrive Friday around 9 am (pick up is at 10 am I believe), is there long line?

You are right - pins and magnets. I knew I was forgetting one! I edited my post

Hearing that the 10k pin and if you pre ordered a jacket they will be sent to you instead of picking up at the expo because of an issue with the manufacturer (inaugural is spelled wrong).

From past experience, any idea when the lines will start to die down today? I've always gotten down later on Friday and never really had to deal with them. There are enough lines at Magic Kingom today. I don't need more for bibs! Lol!

Standing in line for the Expo they just announced that pre order jackets and 10K pins will not be available today due to a shipping error. They will mail it to you when they receive it.

Do they have photos of the jacket? I wanted to return it if I didn't like it. I don't want to have to ship it back. Plus I was planning to use it while there. Maybe I'll just return it. Hmm...

ETA is it the 10k jacket? My receipt just says jacket but I wouldn't have ordered a 10k jacket.

If you have friends or family cheering you on this weekend, look what RunDisney has in addition to posters!

Im hearing the word inaugural has once again tripped up run dis and how hard it is to spell...

Seriously think theyd spell check after it happening oh 2x before?!?

We got lucky. Got in line for expo right before 10. Inside quickly and then a queue for about 20 minutes to enter run Disney area. Don't recall that last year. They let in about 20 every so often. Shopping was intense with restocking already happening. They were just looking for hands in the air for magnets and wine glasses. Line to check out 30 more bites. Long enough for DW to try on 7 shirts.

 

[PaDisneyCouple]

Literally some had piles of clothes with them near the start of the check out queue. Taking photos of what they had.
Then we went to HP where there was no line for anything.
Lunch at ESPN grill was pretty good. Try the penne pasta with alfredo sauce and chicken

Any update on magnets?

 

[Keels]

All of the glassware, magnets and jackets are still available in the upstairs merch area in the Bib pickup building.

I just saw this on Facebook and it got me thinking...I'm not checking a bag so I will be fine, but I did not get a bag check sticker

No bag check stickers ... not sure what they're doing when you drop bags, but we are not giving them out at packet pickup.

We didn't get a bag check sticker either!! Also there wasn't a Official event guide in the bag either!! I can see them eliminating the event guide to cut cost but the bag check sticker?
