    Looks like runDisney is selling Princess 2017 half marathon bibs at the WDW expo. If you missed getting in before it reached capacity, now is your chance.

    Event guide is up. Same nasty format <sigh>.

    Click here to view.

    And yes, apparently there are typos. You will not receive two bibs and six shirts if you are doing the Glass Slipper Challenge...

    Expo went very smooth this morning - plenty of merchandise and very little chaos. Unfortunately people were walking off with baskets of the special shoe ornament which I'm sorry but no one needs 20+ shoe ornaments. And of course, now the $26.99 shoe is listed on eBay at $54.99. Fortunately we were back at the expo just before closing and there were still plenty of the ornaments hanging on the wall for shoppers in the morning.

    We also got to see the 2017 Tinker Bell medals - they are even more impressive in person than they were in the pictures especially the Pixie Dust Challenge. The influence of Pandora in the design process is very evident.

    Speaking of challenges, take note that for the 10th anniversary of Princess in 2018, the 5th anniversary of the Glass Slipper Challenge is now listed as the Fairy Tale Challenge. Things are changes down runDisney way...

    One final note, you can purchase a 2018 Princess Bib (Half or Glass Slipper) at the expo with a one-night stay on-site at WDW. On the plus side, no Active fees.

    I think they're trying to move away from themes that limit them as far as making new medals (i.e., Dumbo, Glass Slipper) to move to more general concepts (Fairytales, Disneyland) that allow for greater variety of themes that can entice people back year after year. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Infinity Gauntlet for SHHMW dropped hard after the last gem comes out (if not before)

    I saw a tweet from runDisney this morning about the half marathon having a delayed start because of traffic issues. I'm figuring they were trying to accommodate people who couldn't get to the start line by the scheduled start of the race. Anyone know how long the delay was and what happened with the traffic to cause that much of a problem?

    Please don't ask me how I feel, I feel fine.
    Oh I cry a bit, I don't sleep too good, but I'm fine

    Apparently one of the transportation buses broken down which caused a major backup. It was only about a 10 - 15 minute delay.
