They weren't very appealing before. I'm certainly not interested in paying Disney money for them to try to sell me on more Disney. It's out of control. Honestly, I don't get why anyone would pay for this. It seems like people just want to be "insiders" and will pay for what they perceive as an elite special event that is really just more marketing in disguise.Jennifer K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06606118336143343644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2785887441872369030.post-89008839978299155762014-01-30T19:26:46.405-08:002014-01-30T19:26:46.405-08:00I didn't sign up.

I'm not surprised (at all!) that they started charging for this opportunity, but, I am a little disappointed. To me, it's no longer "special." And it would also mean flying in a day early, an extra night in a hotel room, etc. -- really not worth it, IMHO!Jennifer @ The Final Fortyhttp://www.thefinalforty.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2785887441872369030.post-80945099781537506772014-01-30T17:16:31.325-08:002014-01-30T17:16:31.325-08:00I, too, can't believe it took them so long to ...I, too, can't believe it took them so long to charge for this event. I think they started these meetups as a way to get free publicity from the bloggers, and Run Disney obviously doesn't need the bloggers anymore to promote their product. It sells out fast enough!<br /><br />I think $89 is actually a bargain for what these runners are getting, but I'm frugal too, and I won't be signing up for any of them.Andrea @ With A Side of Magichttp://www.withasideofmagic.comnoreply@blogger.com
