So pleased we chose to run Wine and Dine now - I have never been at Christmas time and never seen the Osborne Lights. I'm so pleased i'll get to see them whilst running through the park in their final year :)
I love the Osbourne lights...So sad they are going away, but happy I get to run under them too!

Also, for future reference, I'm staying at OKW and I asked if I would be allowed to park at Saratoga. They said I would have to drive to Epcot. Not happy.

Gotta get that extra shopping time in don't ya know. But $199? Sheesh. I'd expect full bottles of wine for that price.

I would think about it at $99 but I won't be there Thursday anyway. Curious to see if they sell out. The runDisney event page has added a progress bar for it. Hasn't moved yet.

I can't justify spending that much money. I will battle the crowds Friday and still have 200$ in my pocket.

Welcome reception at 36%.

And this just pretty much shows why they won't bother to do any real proper allocation/ordering of merch for these races. Instead of making everyone happy by letting them pre-order merch, order at the event/drop ship, etc, they can squeeze more money of out some people just to give them a better chance of getting what they want.

I'm convinced there are people running just to get the exclusive merch. Sure, they could get some of it on eBay but that's not a sure thing. Luckily for me, the only thing I care about is the experience itself and, of course, the bling.
