My day started out very early with a trip to the airport. After a short delay, I was on my way to sunny California. My flight landed, I got my bag, caught my shuttle and before I knew it, I was at the Disneyland Resort! I meet my girlfriends who had already checked into our room and we were off to the expo. I had my eye on a few must haves! 
Once we got to the expo, my first stop was to pick up my race packets. I got my 5k packet then my Pixie Dust Challenge packet. I got to the expo around 2 PM, about four hours after it opened. By this time, the lines had really died down. After I had my packet, I went after the item I wanted most at the expo--the brand new runDisney New Balance Tinker Bell inspired running shoes. I am a bit of a collector of the New Balance runDisney shoes. Lucky for me, I signed up for the "virtual queue" while I was still at the airport that morning. When I arrived at the New Balance booth, my beautiful new shoes were waiting for me. To sweeten the deal, New Balance offered free shoe pom poms and wings if you posted a picture on Instagram.
After getting my shoes, I stopped at the official merchandise booth. Things in the runDisney booth sell out fast! Some things like the highly coveted wine glasses and coffee mugs sell out in minutes. I was hoping there would be some items left by the time I got there. At every runDisney event I participate, I always buy a pin that looks like the medal. It's a fun little thing I like to collect. They sell out fast, but I was lucky enough to get one. I also like to get a Sweaty Band from every race I do too. This time I got a purple Sweaty Band with the Tink Half logo on it. 
I had my new kicks in hand and I got my pins and head band. I was ready to see what the rest of the expo had to offer. Samples is one of my favorite things at race expos! I got some Coppertone sunscreen samples, some GoodSense pain reliever, and some Luna Bar samples. I stopped by the Sparkle Skirts booth to see what was new. The girls go taped at the KT Tape booth. Before we left, we stopped to get our "wings" After the expo, the girls and I were off to the parks!
A dream is a wish...
