These sell out quickly — if a Spirit Jersey is on your list, getting to the Expo early on opening day is your best strategy.
Race-Specific Tanks and Tees

Accessories
Beyond apparel, the collection includes accessories to complete your race-day look or add to your Disney collection. Exact accessory details will be clearer when you arrive at the Expo, but Disney typically includes items like hats, bags, and character-themed add-ons in the lineup.
