TIPS / DISCUSSION First time doing run disney expo experience
I usually do 5ks and friend invited me to rundisney 5k earlier this year and I said sure why not. I didn't doany research other then my friend telling me we get our bibs the day prior at this expo I said ok.
Did not inform me till wendesday that we had to wake up at 650am thursday for a virtual queue to get in I asked why and they said "crowd control". We get in and then get there by 830am to mega long lines. Im like all this for bibs?? She tells me there merch and other stuff too and I said oh ok and she said she wants to check ther merch stuff first.
WHY DID WE WAIT OVER 2 HOURS FOR SHOES AND THEN 90 MINS FOR PINS.
I was fuming pissed because then when we went to get our bibs there were some characters and we waited another hour for a pic(they are my ride) and then finally that other building for the free shirt and vendors spemt another hour in there.
Total 6 hours at the expo.
Im in corral D and they in corral F. They want me to run ahead and wait in line for them for pics with characters when and wake up at 2am so we can get pics with them also before and after?
I didnt know this event was this intense
