Official Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend 2019

[1lilspark]

Was in wave B2 waited 13 mins in line for jungle book characters and the attendant came down saying all the corals were released and balloon ladies were on their way so I gave up .... 8 minutes for dopy 4 minutes for flick
My longest 5K but finished right at 7 no regrets also did Minnie at start with 20 min wait

They feel a lot scratchier. And the fit is kinda weird. The arms are very baggy and the rest seems half baggy and half fitted.

It’s weird and I’m not a fan.

Feel like a lot of races have been switching to off-brand shirts, Spartan's done the same with theirs (from Reebok to some brand I've never heard of) and it was also a bit of a downgrade. This is a bummer, still wear my three Champion shirts regularly for runs and exercise, they're really solid.

In general, does everyone feel that the race shirts run small compared to the Champion race shirts? Should we make sure we get to the Marathon expo early and try on all of the shirts in case we want to trade for a different size?

From my perspective, absolutely yes, they run smaller. If you’re in between sizes and don’t like a more form fitting shirt, I’d go a size larger. I’m pretty bummed about mine TBH.

Gotta love booking CBR for the convenience of Skyliner only for the EPCOT line to be down when you need it. Now waiting on Minnie Van for a trip to Boardwalk...

Can someone with one either post a pic of the tag or just tell us the material content of the shirts?

Arrived at expo today around 10:30, the only remaining passholder shirts were 3,4 & 5 xl. Pretty disappointed at that.

I got women’s small for all three races and every last one was a different sizing. I couldn’t even get my arm all the way in the 10K shirt. The half was the loosest fitting.

It was down yesterday afternoon and was still down when I left around 8pm.

Guess I missed being able to preorder passholder stuff.

Is there more than one pickup race morning at Coronado Springs?

 

[Jeff Morris]

Well. Just talked to my daughter and she was NOT HAPPY. And neither am I.

When she went to the Expo yesterday, they assured her that everything was set up the same way it had been in January. So this morning she headed to Epcot...and the roads were closed. No idea why, but I'm assuming that the construction, etc. necessitated changes in things. Having been a cast member, she contacted Security...who had no idea what she should do. She ended up going back home because try as she might, she couldn't get to the course. So we're out a small chunk of change and I've got one supremely irked daughter.

I'm going to be calling Disney in a minute and express my irritation about this. I had a bad feeling that there were going to be last-minute changes, but from the sound of things there were some big problems that they need to resolve before January.

Out of curiosity, did you and she look at the Event Guide? There's a map of road closures included. Was that map incorrect?

 

[PaDisneyCouple]

Thanks everyone for the shirt replies and picture. Very disappointing. If they use the same shirts for Marathon weekend hopefully they will bring a lot of extra to trade for size.

The Expo buses are stopping at the Tower first, then four other stops around the resort. I assume (but don’t know for fact) the race buses are the same.

I don't know; she called about an hour ago and give me the gist of things. The kid was a cast member and knows that place like the back of her hand, and as I said, they told her at the Expo things would be set up just like they were in January. She's sleeping right now and I'm not going to bother her.

I did talk to Disney and they suggested I email RunDisney about it. That's this afternoon's chore.

I mean, other drivers got there so the roads were open somewhere. There are many signs and the road closures are listed in the event guide. Plus, it would have to be different than January because the course is set up differently to accommodate construction.

Again, all I can tell you is what she told me. I will grant your points, but I'm still wanting to know how Security wasn't able to give her any assistance.
