Marathon Weekend 2025

[jmasgat]

hope everyone has fun at the expo today!
Any non-Dopeyers planning to go tomorrow? I’ll be there in the afternoon until about 4.

I am. I fly in tomorrow. Hope to Lyft to OKW, drop stuff off and then head for the expo. With luck will make it by 3 ish.

Headed to Epcot this morning to ride Guardians and Remy then headed to the expo after. Glad I already ordered the race jacket as I expect those to go even faster this year given the weather.

Thought about that because of course expo day is the day I get BG 8, but with early access I’ll get the expo done first and be late for guardians

Great sunrise this morning! I'm in the Platinum line, wearing a lavendar Dopey hoodie, club jacket and Chiefs fanny pack.

Wristbanded and they have wrapped us around the side of the building.

I am getting so excited! We don't leave until tomorrow but my body is already waking up way too early. Excited to see some of the merch today...

 

[PeppercornElvis]

We just landed!!!! Glad to finally be here!!!!!

Not that bad! Feels borderline if I go with the UA tights tomorrow but could be worse.

They're letting Platinum in the building. Staging room.

Has there been a beer cart so we know which cups to bring?

Not yet.

We are doing early entry at MK and will hit the expo based on our VQ spot. Glad I preordered the jacket…

 

[The Expert]

Dopey hoodies were gone in like 30 seconds! They brought a second rack even. Hope there's more they're saving!

Please ignore me if this is against the rules, but would someone be willing to grab a piece of Goofy merch for me? I don’t go to the expo until Friday and I feel like everything’s going to be gone by then based on previous years.

I’d meet you whenever and wherever to pay you back this weekend and be so, so grateful!

 

[Mr_Incr3dible]

It’s is the same. They have just been very explicit with the codes this year since there are always a bunch of people who can’t figure out their code, or don’t know to zero-fill the front end to get enough digits

[raises hand]....

Could you grab a large if you see this before you leave? I’ll pay you.

You know I'll be there! I have a ToT LL for 11:30 and will head to the Expo right after. Then back to HS for my 5:30 Slinky Dog

Bibs lines kind of vary some are better than others. It’s really just a matter of chance. Depending on whose there also picking up to be honest.

VQ callback kind of varies depending on how many people are there. Like they’ll usually call a batch and keep calling but as the shop gets more full it will stall for safety reasons. So how long you’re waiting depends on that and what group you’re in.

Ended the night with requesting a room change. The room itself is not bad but the locations a nightmare. Would mean extra 30-40 minutes each day to get to the bus transport area pickup. So there full tonight but will move to a closer room. Still not the closest building to the race transport. But it’s in a prime location for everything so I’ll take it

Go figure the one time I’m not put in the 50s section is the one time I can’t really deal with being that far out

I’m in the same situation at Pop, I requested the 70s but got out in the furthest spot in the 80s building and it’s not good. I hate this room and wish I could switch too…

The Goofy stuff isn't really moving. I think you'll be OK.

They're randomly restocking but I'm only seeing small sizes.

I’ll take a medium at this point also. Just prefer large.
