With the new virtual queue system in place for W&D, and no preorders for MW, I’m not feeling great about merch. It reminds me of the Merch Pass
shopDisney started using after the castle collection was released. I could be there as early as possible on opening day, but a virtual queue assignment might decide whether or not I get merch for my first (and likely only) Dopey experience (I can say likely because my work schedule is not at all conducive to doing this more than once). Even though not standing on ridiculously long lines sounds great, I see it as a part of the runDisney experience, and it’s fun to chat with people on line and get excited for race day.
I’d love to see an anniversary
loungefly, but I’d only buy it if I absolutely loved it. I spend too much as is at the expo! Not interested in a spirit jersey this time around, but I usually go for pins, magnets, and the weekend jacket (basically everything that goes first lol). Id like to look at Dopey specific items as well.
Last year a very kind Disboards runner picked up marathon items for me, which was an huge deal because it was my first marathon and by the time I could get to the expo almost everything was already gone. I’d be more than happy to do the same for anyone in need if I can get in early enough.
