The idea behind the 2024 artwork
runDisney framed this year's weekend around a specific reading of the Princess and Queen characters: the heroism is in the decision to start, not the ending. Embarking on the journey, leaving the tower, opening the restaurant, finding the fifth spirit. The parallel to a training block is the whole pitch, and the event artwork reflects it.
Performance apparel and finisher pieces
Expo attendees will find logo performance apparel and finisher products built on the event artwork, including shirts and jackets in multiple styles. These are the pieces that sell out first, particularly the finisher jackets, which are only worth buying after crossing the line.
Bags, drinkware and accessories
The accessories run to a themed Loungefly mini backpack with a matching ear headband, CORKCICLE drinkware, a Lug bag sized to hold that drinkware, a weekend-themed Spirit Jersey and a shoe ornament. The backpack doubles as medal transport for anyone running the challenge.
Pandora Jewelry event charms
Pandora Jewelry is selling official event charms at two booths, one in the AdventHealth Arena and one in the Athletic Center at ESPN Wide World of Sports. Both carry the wider Pandora collections alongside the race charms.
What this means for runners
The Princess Half expo is the busiest merchandise floor on the runDisney calendar outside Marathon Weekend, and the first day runs on a virtual queue through My Disney Experience. Shoppers who are not registered runners can still attend, since the expo is open to all guests. Event details are posted at runDisney.com.
