Not dressing up but I'll be wearing a Sparkle skirt! 🙂

I ordered some foil blankets from Amazon a couple of weeks ago but it's a bit late now for you. Why don't you head to the new primark in the shopping centre in Marne Le Valle and grab the cheapest jumper you can find? Then just before you set off ditch it. Few quid saves you being freezing? Also cheaper than anything you'll find in Disney.

Can't wait to finish work tonight. Our flight is 7am from Manchester airport so early get up tomorrow.

Tinker82, great costumes! Especially Maleficent!

I did try to look out for foil blankets but they seemed to be in very short supply where I am! But thanks for the suggestion, I've just popped in to primark and picked up a couple of cheap jackets so I should hopefully be warm (plus I saw on Facebook that they are donating clothing left there)!

Currently in a very long queue to get into the expo...

Doors still don't appear to be open. 30min late so far.

Great news I saw on facebook the expo was late opening! Can you post a picture of the t-shirts you get when you collect your bib? I'm excited to see them!

Seems to finally be some movement but it is getting quite warm now.

Would like to post a photo but the hotel's wifi is incredibly slow (and rather annoyingly can't get good 4G here either). Can try to describe them?
- One T-shirt each for 21K 10K and the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo challenge. 3 different shades of blue. All tech shirts.
- The 5K shirt is a maroon cotton shirt.

The ladies size is incredibly small and I had to exchange my shirts for the next size up! Unfortunately they cannot exchange the challenge shirt

How's everyone doing so far? I have survived the 5K and 10K and just the half marathon left to go tomorrow!

I think the 5K had issues - was reading that they ran out of medals and food boxes towards the end. I didn't like how stretches of it were in the dark. The medal is pretty cool though as Lumiere's flames are glow in the dark!

But today's 10K was really fun! So many cool characters and a really nice medal too! And so much of it was running through the park, and it was especially fun to see all the CMs cheering along the way!

I saw people doing this today - pretty good idea especially for the charity but wow it must have been cold doing this!

I have never been as cold as I was this morning! Definitely going to wear my hoodie tomorrow morning!
