Recently, runDisney shared a first look at the Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend merchandise. This included jackets, mugs, magnets, ears, and even pins! You can see it all HERE.
The Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend will be your last race weekend to purchase the Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and the Core runDisney Brooks Running shoes.
In the first look, it was shared that the upcoming race weekend would be your last chance to purchase these select styles (Mickey, Minnie, and the Core runDisney) of the runDisney-inspired Brooks Running shoes.
New Change
In the latest blog post on the runDisney blog, information about the Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend was shared. This included more pictures of merchandise and information about the Health & Fitness Expo.
On the first day of the expo, you must join the virtual queue to visit the Merchandise Shop. In the past, you needed to be within 45 miles of Walt Disney World property to join the virtual queue. Now it reads:
"Guests hoping to access the first day of the runDisney Merchandise Shop on October 23rd can join the virtual queue from anywhere by using the My Disney Experience app."

According to the latest post on the runDisney Blog, those wanting to visit the Merchandise Shop on the first day of the Expo can join the virtual queue from ANYWHERE! This change will make it easier for athletes to join the virtual queue, especially if they are traveling and aren't within 45 miles of Walt Disney World.
