I was flying from the UK yesterday so missed most of the bib-gate yesterday so just catching up.

I’m due to pick up mine later today and haven’t had an email, but I’ve not actually had ANY emails from RD since my confirmation email when I booked last April.

Is it worth still double checking there’s no issues when I pick it up later rather than just expect them to have double checked for me?

Just ask at pickup, I think they’ll be expecting questions.

We finally got in late last night. Sat on the taxiway at DFW for 2 hours waiting for de-icing... Ugh. Definitely one of those nightmare travel days but I'm just grateful our flight wasn't cancelled. Something like 75% of flights were cancelled out of DFW yesterday, so we were still lucky. Plus, now we are at Disney!

No bib email for me, either. Planning on going to the expo this afternoon.

I’d double check when you pick up the bib, pretty sure international participants don’t get any emails from RD after registration so you never know if you’re part of the bad batch!

Photo stop with SSE - opposite side from yesterday

Did they have the regular mile markers out for the 10k? I saw pics of the Mickey hands for the 5k, and those were cute, but I love seeing who’s on each of the mile markers. And I have no idea how they could get up to 13 or 26 miles with fingers unless it’s a weird AI hand.

Yes. Regular markers!

Great race, did more photo ops, lines were reasonable after the first few. Got Guardians VQ so I’m good to go for the rest of the day.

Jogging Jack Sparrow sighting!

I got a pic with him this morning.

Today was my 4th fastest Disney 10K by moving time, and 2nd fastest by overall time. Also my 2nd longest Disney 10K by distance, as measured by my watch.

i don’t know if it still is, but the Marathon used to be a big BQ event. I would be furious (if I had any delusions of ever qualifying for Boston - not in this century!)

the Celebration Marathon at the end of the month is now the big BQ race.

5ks generally have the more basic mile markers, 10K and up have the bigger ones.

Too soon to fire whoever decided playing an approximately 4-song crooner/americana soundtrack on repeat for the whole race was a good idea? Or should they get until the end of the race?

It felt like we were running to a Fallout video game soundtrack. IYKYK.
