Early Morning Coffee Versus Late Night Sangrias

4am is very....very....early.
But we made the 5am shuttle to the airport with what appears to be...  smiles!

It is so very wrong to ask me to do new technology that early in the morning at the airport. So many self serve kiosks. What the what? We managed with little issue and found breakfast.
Picture a photo of a cup full of grapes worth $7 !!! That's all of Julie's budget blown before we even leave the country!
I had...

...naturally.  

Flight was full of runners. All shapes and sizes. Which is cool. It really is for everyone! Hard not to get excited!!!

Landed and raced the runners to the Magic Express bus. Hahaha. Just kidding. They frown upon running at the airport....

On the bus, Julie heard a guy boasting about his run and the weather here versus where he comes from in Wisconsin. She made me laugh when she muttered under her breath about Eating his weather for breakfast.... we did leave -30 weather...so she had a point.  

At our hotel, Coronado Springs, we got our magic bands. Team Tap-unter!!! Suit up!

To our room and off to ESPN Land for our race stuff! Got our race bibs and toured the expo and picked up a few things including our own Run Disney shoes!!!! The highlight for us both! Will show pics tomorrow of shoes on our feet.  

Back to our hotel where I was ultra surprised to find this awesome cooker bag full of run snacks, drinks and water bottle. Card attached...from Dave and the kids. yup. Big 'aaaawww' moment eh?  Was very surprised and happy. Thanks Dave!

Then...after a call to the front desk to verify my luggage wasn't lost...just hadn't arrived yet (phew) we bussed it over to Bay Lake Towers where Julie used her celebrity status to get us to the rooftop for drinks, dinner and an amazing view of the Magic Kingdom light show and fireworks! Amazing!

I was asked to send a shout out to Chris for the lucky horseshoe...haven't had to wait for a bus yet!

And for my hidden mickey pals I sign off the night with this.
