Disney Expo and Day Before the Races

Mom and I had a mini (4 days including travel) trip to Disney for the 7th Goofy Race. We were able to go to the race expo on the day we arrived (hooray for an early arrival and Magical Express waiting to pull out as soon as we arrived). I contacted RunDisney awhile back (September) about my last name change and the Perfectly Goofy. I received an e-mail and phone call shortly after and thought things were good to go. Apparently the Goofy people didn't get the memo so I had a "regular" Goofy bib. We had to go over to runner relations to get this straightened out pronto! They ended up giving me a generic perfectly Goofy bib. (in other words it did not have my name on it)

Mom and I spend that night and all next day on a mission to find alphabet stickers so we could put my name on the bib. Enough of that unpleasantness. On to the good stuff...Friday we went to Magic Kingdom to check it out since the Fantasyland expansion is in progress and the park will be changing and has been already. Of course the first thing, and a must do, was ride Dumbo. We took our time wandering around the park and enjoying the atmosphere and sunshine. We shared our usual hot dog from Casey's Corner while watching a parade. Love the music to the Move it, Shake it, Celebrate it Parade. We finished the evening with the Main Street Electric Parade and left before the fireworks :( since we had to get up at 3am to make the race start...The Castle was just beautiful still draped in icicles for the holidays.
