I may have to start pre-ordering the jackets and just returning them if I dont like them. <br /><br />and i totally didn't know about the tent at the end of the race-mainly because I am usually ready to get out of there. I will have to chekc it out after Princess and see whats in there. Sadly, they dont do that at DL races (and they also dont have champagne!)Julianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11352740561555628315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930457134828005115.post-58958756595291570982015-02-05T23:38:22.827-05:002015-02-05T23:38:22.827-05:00The great thing is that they didn't give me an...The great thing is that they didn't give me any problem as all about returning it!

Since we weren't able to get to the expo until the third day, I was worried that they would be all sold out. Back then I had no idea that they were different from what would be sold on the expo floor.

I want to know exactly what I am buying and frankly,a runDisney jacket that no one else has, has little value to me. On the other hand, I might be interested in a blind item at a qualifying race such as Boston, but most likely, I will always wait to see merchandise in person.Two Runners Travel https://www.blogger.com/profile/10446814348862304394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930457134828005115.post-77165485524353728492015-02-05T10:57:02.548-05:002015-02-05T10:57:02.548-05:00It's an issue of exclusivity.

The reward being having a piece of merchandise that not everyone has because its not available at the expo itself.
