| Welcome to the Tinker Bell 1/2 Marathon expo! |
It isn't very often that I write about expos. I usually try to get in. Get my bib, shirt, etc. Do a quick scan of the expo vendors. And get out as quickly as possible! However, like all things Disney they like to sprinkle in a little magic here and there and the Tinker Bell 1/2 Marathon expo was no exception.
Upon entering the expo the first thing you see is the runDisney booth as expected. I also noticed a short line on the side and then quickly realized what it was for. At last year's Tinker Bell 1/2 I started next to Sean Astin! This year Sean was at the expo meeting fans! As a child of the 80's I LOVE The Goonies and I'm a huge Tolkein fan as well so this was a major deal for me. I tried to refrain from geeking out on him but I'm afraid my inner geek couldn't hold itself back. Hopefully I didn't embarrass myself too badly.

One of the coolest vendors there was Sanuk. I already have a pair of their sandals and they are incredibly comfortable. They were at the expo displaying their footwear, giving out cool stickers, mustaches, and smiles.

Even though I didn't meet my my goal of getting out of the expo as quickly as possible I had a blast. This was easily the most fun I've had at any running expo. I'll get up my review of the race in the next couple days.
