Landed in MCO! So happy

I didn't bring shirts with me as use rD but.. just realized that they might be long sleeve and the weather will be warm for it… sooo… I have to shop at the expo.. disneystores.. Uniqlo..? )

Ps. It is a fun problem to have LOL

Yep shirts for November & January are historically long sleeve (idk if that will change or not when they inevitably swap to brooks)

I'll be landing at MCO in just over 12 hours!!

I can only really speak for myself (but it's pretty safe to say that this covers most of us Floridians), but I now have a whole bunch of participant shirts that I can rarely wear. I wish that they gave the option of short sleeve or long sleeve. Truth be told, there is enough time to order both short sleeve and long sleeve shirts respectively.

Yes! That's a great idea.

I don’t wear any from recent years because I find them to fit so poorly and feel so uncomfortable, but I do wear older long sleeves a lot as a Floridian in winter! I’ve got a solid few months every year in which it’s long sleeves every run. I’ve kept exactly zero race short sleeves, though: if it’s warm enough for bare arms, it’s also too warm for me to wear that fabric - I much prefer something lighter.

The long sleeves make great throwaways for slightly cool race mornings, though, when a light extra layer feels good while waiting but you know you won’t want the extra layer for long into the race.

I’m a fellow Floridian and my sister has only ever done wine & dine and is excited to get a couple short sleeve race shirts in April

I disagree. I use my old race shirts to wear in the parks, since I don’t own anything else that’s Disney themed. The long sleeves are great during summer where I don’t have to worry about sunburn on my arms or sweating through my clothes. They’re a tech material, so if I get wet, the shirt dries quickly. Honestly, there’s no clothing in Florida in July that can make the weather not seem insanely hot. If you look at a lot of the fishing shirts sold now, they’re essentially the same as the long-sleeved running shirts.

Also, if you were a true a Floridian, a simple long-sleeved shirt would not be enough for you during the winter. Everyone knows that when the temperature drops below 70, the Canada Goose parkas and wool hats come out.

Wishing a great race weekend to everyone heading to W&D! Looking forward to living vicariusly through everyone's posts over the coming days. Wishing you good weather and great characters on course.

I'm from CA and much much much prefer long sleeves. I think they tend to look better as you don't have to worry about the arm cut (some from a few years ago were really weird). I wear them all the time in the heat so as to not have to put on sunscreen as PP mentioned. I just wish they'd mix in a white or off white one at some point. Tired of all the weird colors. My theory is that they ask for what the supplier has the most left-over fabric of and do that, LOL.

 

[DianaMB333]

Maybe I’m minority but I like the rD shirts

Hard to anticipate and address everyone’s individual preferences but still I think behind each detail being decided for the races there are cast members putting their heart out trying to do their best
