People need to just report these listings or Disney needs to have someone monitor things and shut them downPeople are just the worst.

I don't endorse the price gouging, by any means, but I'm curious as to what people would be reporting these listings for? What recourse or authority does Disney have to shut down an item on eBay?People need to just report these listings or Disney needs to have someone monitor things and shut them down
Report them for what, exactly? They're not breaking any laws, just the entire spirit of the event, but that's not enforceable.People need to just report these listings or Disney needs to have someone monitor things and shut them down
They're usually about $20 each for distance logo pins and 'i did it' pins. I'm not sure about the mini-medals, but I'm guessing it's about the same. The jumbo weekend pins are usually something like $45.I never buy the pins, how much do they actually cost at the expo?
It's why I decided to preorder the jacket bundle for DL even though there's no picture posted. On the bright side, no stress anymore for the expo. I get in Thursday but likely won't head to the expo until Saturday.I never buy the pins, how much do they actually cost at the expo?
I admit that this craziness is why I preordered so much for DL. I know some of my stuff will end up for resale somewhere because I don't want all the items in the bundle. But I didn't want to have to be disappointed at the Expo, especially since I'm not getting in until Friday afternoon. I definitely wish runDisney would do more with the preorders. More items available, fewer bundles etc.
If they bought it using a passholder discount they can lose their pass and be banned from the parks.Report them for what, exactly? They're not breaking any laws, just the entire spirit of the event, but that's not enforceable.
The only thing we can do is not buy it at such inflated prices.
For Wine & Dine unless you pre ordered the jumbo weekend pin you could only get it at creations shop during the partyThey're usually about $20 each for distance logo pins and 'i did it' pins. I'm not sure about the mini-medals, but I'm guessing it's about the same. The jumbo weekend pins are usually something like $45.
I love Wentzel's pretzels! Did I miss somewhere they were selling them? My go to breakfast has become the Bacon and Egg grilled cheese at the Toast food truck. I hope they never go away!I thought it was interesting how the announcers kept talking about and cutting to cameras of corral E. RunDisney knew this was going to be a difficult situation and this felt like they were trying to make amends or something.
Also, I need to find a buddy to share a bag of pre-race Wetzel's Pretzel bites! I bought some on 5k morning to share with my son, and discovered that they're an early morning food my stomach will tolerate. But he's not usually with me and there's no way I want to eat an entire bag of those on my own.
Their truck was near the characters/stage area, next to the Joffrey's truck. I've never tried the Toast truck, may have to give that a go next time!I love Wentzel's pretzels!

This exactly. I want the medal replica pin and I know itll be gone by Friday afternoon. I’ll probably try to sell at least one of the other pins, but at cost or a couple bucks more.I admit that this craziness is why I preordered so much for DL.

I wonder if it's because they're selling more tickets (for anyone not running the half or challenge). My friend was so excited for the party because she thought it was going to be like an After Hours party with shorter lines. We ended up only staying for an hour after the official start time.I’ve been running W&D since 2016 and for some reason, the after party used to be less crowded. I can’t imagine the race has gotten any bigger. But I echo that lines are now longer than they are during the day. We used to close the night down. Now, we’re leaving by 11 because the lines for rides are so long.
No one would possibly pay $249.99 for a pin, right? That's crazy!People are just the worst.

at this point, I'm tired of this being a rumor or excuse for the issues with merch at race weekends. This has been offered up since the covid break. I feel like the only one that didn't have problems with amounts was the most recent SS?I heard rumors that there was some issue with the merch order (e.g., ordered the wrong amount, a shipment didn't come). Not sure what happened, but I feel like something unusual did happen. I've never seen the merch situation quite this bad and there isn't even as much listed on ebay as I would expect.
Looking at eBay now and a bunch have sold for 150, top sold price is 200. I don’t expect the one for 250 to sell but I can’t blame them for seeing if anyone bites.No one would possibly pay $249.99 for a pin, right? That's crazy!
