Disneyland Expo

September 2, 2012 | Disney, running, Travel

 

Whew what a fun but exhausting day! I know I am skipping telling you all about several things, but I am trying to keep race things grouped together right now and will go back and talk about the hotel, parks, etc. So yesterday in my post I spoke a bit about going to the expo, so be sure to check it out for a few photos, but I was able to actually do some shopping today and walk around more so yes, you get to see more expo pictures.

So we actually woke up and went to Disneyland for a few hours and then walked over to the expo. I needed to get my coast to coast challenge bracelet and we needed some GU. I had ordered some before we left, but with the hurricane, the mail didnโ€™t get delivered. It was a lot of fun but wow was it a madhouse!! So. crowded. We walked back over to the Disneyland hotel where the expo was, and went downstairs to runner relations to get my coast to coast bracelet. It was an easy fix.

We then went back upstairs to the expo floor where I was able to finally get to hold in my hand the new 20th anniversary medal. Friends, it is awesome in photos, but WAY more awesome in person. It is heavy, it is beautiful, I LOVE it!

ย 

I also got to see the new Donald medal, and of course the goofy medal I will get in January as well!

There were a lot of people around so i didnโ€™t get as many photos as I wanted, but it was so nice to finally see them up close.

We did some walking around, bought our GU, sampled some products, and ran into some friends I used to work at expos with or have booths near, etc.

I also picked up my free poster which I will show you later when I get home. It was a great expo, lots of workers and volunteers, just crazy crowded. I was sad I didnโ€™t see a Disneyland Half Marathon mug (unless I totally missed it). They had other kids of cups and glasses but I didnโ€™t see a mug. Anyone else? All in all, if you havenโ€™t been to a runDisney expo, you donโ€™t want to miss it. You can still sign up for marathon weekend and the Princess half so donโ€™t miss out on all the fun!

QOTD: Favorite race expo ever?

      The expo is where you have to go to pick up your race packet and bib, so everyone has to go and it’s open to the public. If you go to runDisney.com you will see info about the health and fitness expo

    I hope you did well today ๐Ÿ™‚ I was at DL in 2009 and found the contrasts to WDW to be quite fun.

    What fun! I love the excitement and energy of packet pick-up and expo! My favorite is a toss up between the Chicago Marathon and the Cincinnati Flying Pig.

    I didn’t see a mug either so I don’t think there was one.

Just got back from the cutest cabin in Pigeon Forg Just got back from the cutest cabin in Pigeon Forge and had to share a travel hack for all my fellow moms planning summer getaways. ๐Ÿ’ก(ad)

We booked with @savvy_stay, which means no third-party fees, no fluff โ€” just direct access to professional hosts and more room in the budget for fun. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ 

They even have a price comparison tool on their site so you can see what you WOULD be paying if you went with โ€œthe other guys.โ€

Think: mountain views, family memories, and extra savings that actually make a difference. If Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge is on your list, do yourself a favor and check out Savvy first!
