Today was my travel day! I woke up really early on east coast time and made my way to the airport, made it onto the airplane and then we sat. We've had some pretty chilly weather lately and the plane had to be de-iced. Unfortunately for us, the de-icer truck broke down and we had to wait for the company to send a new truck. So we waited.....about an hour. I was a little nervous because I had about an hour and a half layover in Dallas, and this was eating into that time. But, we finally got on our way and I was able to make my flight with a little time to spare and then we landed safely in California. I made my way to the hotel and was able to relax for a little bit before meeting up with some of my TNT teammates for a trip to the expo.
runDisney expos do not disappoint. The vendors are wonderful and there is no shortage of great merchandise to browse and purchase! When you arrive at the expo, you are directed to first pick up your bib. Once the business part is taken care of, you are directed upstairs for goody bag and shirt pick up and then on to the shopping! This year, tink participants were given a long sleeve shirt and a mesh bag.
My next stop was the official runDisney merchandise. I love to look at all the stuff that they have, and the "I Did It" shirt is a must have for me:
The other purchase I made was one of the new runDisney vinylmation and the Tinker Bell medal (I'm planning on getting the princess medal in February to mark my next race:
Some of the other great merchandise:
And who can forget the wings? I didn't personally run in wings, but I did see a lot of wings on the course Sunday morning!
I then wandered around the expo a little more, browsed a little at the raw threads booth:
I also took a few minutes to check out the exclusive New Balance runDisney shoes:
I stopped by to meet Leah of Sparkle Skirts. I was lucky enough to be able to work a few hours on Saturday morning in the Sparkles Skirts booth, helping lots of ladies (and a few gentlemen) find the perfect skirt for race day.
I had a great time at the expo and I am really looking forward to the next runDisney event- Princess weekend!
Sounds like you had fun at the expo!
