Springtime Surprise 2026 (Apr 16-20)

[MissLiss279]

The runDisney blog post has a little more information on the shoes - cost, what other shoes are available, different angles…

If I hadn't just bought 2 pair at DL, I would go for Genie or Pooh. I love the fact that the soles are patterned/different colors. The Chip and Dale’s that I bought make me happy when I lace them on to go for a run.

im not a brooks runner BUT for a casual shoe i might be tempted with the yellow so i can say 'let me go put on my "air poohs"'

POT should still be available to check in your profile registration. I mention this because that bib # sounds like something other than A. Would guess that A is 10001-10500 or so. Very rough estimate.

For reference, there's obviously a wonky conversion that needs to happen for the 10 miler, but for the half this is how it goes:

- A: <2:00
- B: 2:00-2:15
- C: 2:15-2:30

I put in 2:03, which for the challenge gave me bib 205xx and I'm half-expecting B (particularly since it'll give me B for the half) with a chance it converts to a time they think works for A. I might try to gather data to see if I can figure out the cutoffs but I'm not optimistic, this is a tough weekend for that.

If it helps, I was 2:02 for POT at last years SS and was in B.

Shoes are cute but I'm marked safe.

If I'm not able to get to the ESPN expo until Saturday (for the 10-mi check in) do the Brooks sell out or are they 'limited stock' available to runners? I desperately want them

If they are sold out by Saturday, they may be able to send the shoes to you at home after the weekend.

I made it to the airport with plenty of time, and I even got a few hours of sleep, so I'm already ahead of where I was for Princess Weekend

I have to work half a day today. But it’s because I’m trying to save vacation days for a big trip in June.

At BDL boarding soon! Expecting to be in Disney for lunch

Had a nightmare I overslept for the race!! I’ll be setting allllllll the extra alarms Sunday.

And impulsively just changed my flight for tomorrow from evening to early afternoon because who doesn’t love a few more hours in Disney?!

 

[DianaMB333]

Full day of work ahead, I will fly down tonight

What I expected to be two days OOO ended up remote work back to back… but still at my happy place.. so I will take it!!

Ps. This morning I got an unexpected try out of waking up at 2am.. high pitch alert of tornado warning.. nothing happened here fortunately….

Jealous of everyone on their way! I’ve still got today at work and tomorrow to pack/clean/prep before heading over Friday.

Very rarely do I have race dreams - instead I have recurring homeowner nightmares. Last night featured a leaking pipe in an attic I’ve never seen before in a house I’ve never lived in and some arbitrary time limit to get it repaired. Good times lol!

Waiting to exit the plane at MCO. I love Disney magic: at 10:13 when I turned on my phone, my room wasn’t ready, but now it is!

But still 2 shades of blue Can someone please send the rD design team a new color wheel? I think theirs is missing a few wedges.

Mears had a team interviewing runners in line for buses at MCO, so if you happen to see their socials, you might see my face

Mears seems to have a new social strategy. They followed me on IG out of the blue a few weeks ago.

I hope the yellow 10k shirt is better than the yellow shirt I got at the Wine & Dine. Felt cheaper and was somewhat translucent for a hairy cheat kind of guy. My kids do not approve of being seen with me in that shirt.
