At Pop now and saw they had runners breakfast boxes in the food court. (Bagel, PB, banana, berries and a breakfast bar.)
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I was able to find it when searching for gift card services. I received mine last Friday, in case that helps anyone else looking for theirs.$15 e-gift card would have been emailed to address of runDisney account if you are doing challenge or half.
Got mine a little over a week ago, make sure you check spam folder, comes from ‘gift card services’
Went to the expo last night at 6pm. All the merchandise walls were filledApparently there were limits (2) on a lot of the disney merch at the expo? And I'm seeing posts about people who went to pick up their bib last night saying that spirit jerseys were sold out already? Just gauging things for MW because all I really want is a spirit jersey....

I've returned things bought at the Expo at MouseGear and at World of Disney in prior years. I know others that have gone back to the Expo and returned things, too. To exchange, you'd need to go back to the Expo, but they'll definitely take stuff back.Does anyone know if you can return/exchange Disney merch purchased at the expo? I bought a Spirit Jersey and they stupidly don’t label them as Mens or Womens on the tags, nor do they have distinct Mens and Womens sections. Long story short, I bought a Womens and I need a Mens. Why can’t Disney just make these things Unisex? Argh. I knew I should have gotten the all black one. Sigh. Next time I will try on.

Even better. There’s a resort shop at the dolphin and I’m headed over to HS. So I’ll just stop by their resort shop on my way!I have returned items from the expo at a resort shop before.
We’ve been able to return Expo items at our resort’s store in the past. Wine and Dine 2016 for example.Does anyone know if you can return/exchange Disney merch purchased at the expo?

So much for unpredictable FL weather. The weather people had this rain predicted all week.
As for the 5K, while rain sorta a put a damper on the pre race - especially waiting in the corrals, once the festivities got started, it was a non factor. And as someone mentioned earlier, luckily the rain was light compared to later this AM.
We registered for the 5K because it was the first race back and wanted to be there for that experience. I will say that besides requiring to wear masks on the bus, you would have had no idea there was anything different about this race. The corrals were done exactly the same as previous races. They were just labeled with numbers instead of letters. People were crammed in just like all the races in the past with mini waves going off every 2 minutes. And the characters were done exactly the same way. The “distancing” was very slight and frankly the only difference was you could not hug, or high five or have any close contact. There were photopass photographers at the character stops and on the course. We only stopped for Frollo who was in a gazebo in France. The Evil Queen and Lotso were out on the pre Epcot part of the course. Lotso had a few alphabet blocks in front of him and I really didn’t see any barrier at all for the Queen.
I ran today with my wife. We had Loki and Sylvie costumes and really had a great time. The only head scratcher for me was Spaceship earth not lit up especially with all the new LED lighting. The torches were on so you know somebody was up turning stuff on. I gotta think, Spaceship Earth was just a miss. Looking forward to the 10K tomorrow!!

I was wondering the same thing.Would you say the lines for character stops were quicker because no hugging or close contact?
I believe for Star Wars, the corrals for the half were perpendicular to the start (or the path to the start), where they would move one forward at a time - with ‘A’ being the farthest away… so maybe it will be like that.Yep. I know this was previously theorized, but the start groups appear to be rebranded corrals in name only, and functionally work exactly the same way. There were no staggered start times outside of the usual mini-waves every 2 minutes. I was in group 2 around the middle of the pack and I believe I started at 5:22.
The first starting group loaded into the chute at 4:30, and we came behind them around 4:45.
I'm interested to see how it works for the HM, as traditionally the corrals lined up right behind the starting line. But the buses do run later this time around, until I think 6:30, so that suggests something different than the 5k. We'll see.
