With the expo doors opening a wee bit early this morning, it’s ON! The 2014 Walt Disney World Marathon kicks off today. The hot item? Why the brand new runDisney New Balance running shoes, of course!
I have to admit, the Cinderella shoes were on the bottom of my must-have list… until now. How pretty are these? If I buy a pair, I’ll run just like Jenny Simpson, right? Come on friends, work with me here… it’s a fairytale after all!
What are your thoughts on the lines and the expo today? I love what my friend, Janice at the Adult Side of Disney, wrote! Be sure to check her thoughts on the expos and how runDisney could make them better with a few tweaks! I happen to agree with her: when a FastPass is being issued to buy a pair of shoes, maybe it’s time to use that awesome invention… the Internet.
Are you at the Expo today? What are your must-have items? I’d love to hear some live reports here in the comments or on Facebook! Sound off, runners!
Patty Holliday has been running Disney since 2011. She knows just about every tip, trick, and hack there is to cover the runDisney Magical Miles at Disney World and Disneyland. She knows every mile isn’t *always* magical- but with training, tips, and a little bit of pixie dust, they can be a lot of fun! You can also find her at noguiltlife.com and noguiltfangirl.com

Love that they have neutral this year! Not so much that its Cinderella. Might have to try on the guys and go with Goofy -- there a little more my style:)

These are my favorite, but they are neutrals. Wondering if my orthopedic inserts would help. Hmmm...

Not sure- could you wear them for non-training though?

Ok I had put off watching the video, but when you're right, you're right. Those shoes are gorgeous... and I can see me rocking them in the parks... Crap. Take my money.

totes agree....... I mean, they are cute, but I can't afford to wait in a long reservation line when I am on runCation. I would pay to have them shipped to me if they offered online ordering at the expo.... AND I would wait for that too. They did it with shirts....maybe will happen with shoes too....who knows. Just think a year from now....
