I also saw at least 3 different Dreamfinders at Wine & Dine this weekend, which was a little disappointing. I'd never seen one at a race before, and I was hoping to be the first; from what I saw, I'll definitely be the first to follow the Marvel design, but it's fairly similar to the original once you boil it down to the basics. Not to toot my own horn, but I think mine is the best of the bunch! I'm even growing out my facial hair to match!

Originally Posted By VickiHD I've got a large blue sign for DH with comments about Iron Man, Cpt America, and the Hulk. I may stick a small flag on the top too. I've got a cow bell and I'm not afraid to use it but I'm sure it will irritate the people around me. DH is in corral G so I've got a while to wait. Cheer plan is to be in the esplanade (Harbor side) then run over to the corner of Harbor and Disney Way where runners head out and enter on Harbor. Then at the finish. Hope my plan works. If you see me say " Hi " Wishing everyone a great race !!!! FerretAfros your costume looks amazing.
