I might actually not go broke this weekend, I’m not in love with anything here
That said, I’m sure there’s something not shown that I’ll have to buy
Ditto both of these sentiments!

That’s where I’m afraid all my money is going to goI'm very meh about this stuff. How can they not preview ANY of the Stitch merch?? There BETTER BE Stitch merch!
YikesI will be right there with you. I just found out last week I have a tear in my meniscus on my left knee. I just got a cortisone shot on Tuesday. Between my knee and the weather it should be an interesting week for me.
Generally speaking, for the 5K, as long as you’re moving forward, you won’t be swept. People have finished the 5K with times of like 2 hrs because they stop for pictures.Yikes
Thot I had a clot in lower leg, turns out I have a bakers cyst in both legs. The partially ruptured one causing some pain, swelling, redness etc.
Only signed up for 5k. Was told I could walk race (yea!) but with compression sleeves. Figure will wind up being swept as my pace is decidedly slower now due to coddling it.
Not the way I envisioned my first RD. Maybe they’ll let me cross the line anyway lol.
Well that’s very to hear! Thank you.Generally speaking, for the 5K, as long as you’re moving forward, you won’t be swept. People have finished the 5K with times of like 2 hrs because they stop for pictures.
You will get the expo check-in pass in your runDisney account on Monday and you just show it with your ID to get your bib.This will be my first run disney event. What are some of the tips you veterans can give a newbie to make his whole process smooth and enjoyable? I do have a question about the expo. If I am reading things right I do need to get a check in pass to pick up my bib and shirts, but i only need to get into the virtual que if I want to go to the expo and get any merch, is that correct? Also it looks like bib pick up and shirt pick up is in two different places? Also on race mornings, I know enough to get there early, but once there does everyone just move tot he corrals and wait there? What is it like once you get off th bus?

As long as your moving steady you should be fine…of the six in person 5ks I’ve done I’ve only been warned twiceYikes

Welcome.. I will try to answer your questions. Pick-up your bib at the field house first. The bib will have a tab you detach to get your race shirts. You will receive your check-in pass Tuesday. The check-in pass will show your bib number. It will show in your RunDisney account. Once inside the field house locate the booth for your race and bib number. Show your id and check in pass and you will receive your bib. If you are in the Challenge you may have to visit the Challenge booth and the 5K booth.This will be my first run disney event.

Seems like a good time to repost the link to my write-up of my mom's DFL (dead last) finish at the Princess 5K a few years ago... https://www.disboards.com/threads/dfl-what-its-like-to-finish-last-in-a-disney-5k.3873825/Generally speaking, for the 5K, as long as you’re moving forward, you won’t be swept.

They supply pins. I always keep an extra set of pins in my travel supplies, though, just in case they get lost or one goes missing.Does Disney supply the pins for your bib or does everyone have to bring their own?

Thank you both!They also will have pins at the runner info booth in the pre-race area. Let's just say I know from experience.
Bib Boards? I have Cinderella ones, and I keep them in my travel bag so I won’t forget them. I’ll dig them out for local races then put them right back.Somewhat related...I prefer those little plastic snap things and since I'm guaranteed to forget the ones in my nightstand no matter how many times I mentally tell myself I need to pack them, there are usually numerous vendors at the Expo that have many varieties.
