Disney expo and a powdered sugar party

After getting all settled Thursday night in Anaheim, Friday was expo day.

The expo, in which we picked up our race bibs, shirts and packets and browsed vendor booths, started at noon at the Disneyland Hotel. We headed over a little early and spotted these signs along the way. Sweet!
As we neared the hotel, we saw our finish line all set up and ready for Sunday's half marathon. Getting really excited!!!
We watched cartoons while waiting for the expo to open. So Disney!
The expo was VERY unorganized. Signs pointed us in the wrong directions and Disney cast members kept giving us conflicting information. Many of us were quite frustrated.

We finally grabbed our bibs from the basement and then made our way to the booths upstairs. We spent a couple hours picking up freebies, buying official race gear and soaking it all in.
We bought discounted park tickets at the expo (no... park admission was not included in our race fees) and headed to Disneyland! Wanting to not get too tired and sore from running around, we took it easy and enjoyed a few rides.

Then I spotted beignets... shaped like Mickey Mouse!!!! Obviously, I had to buy a bag to share.
They had been powdered in the bag, so a big pile of powdered sugar was left in the bottom. Instead of just throwing that out, Brad, Mom and Dad took turns chugging it.
We laughed hysterically as they got sugar everywhere! Stupid fun :)

Splash Mountain came soon after, and I got SOAKED! Should not have sat in the front of the log...
We also saw cast members guarding an unattended bag. A bomb-sniffing dog cleared the scene. Very exciting!

We ended the day by watching Fantasmic, an amazing show on Rivers of America.
