The Active.com link will be posted on runDisney.com when registration opens...so you'd want to sign into Active.com first, then click the link from the Disney page.But I still need to be online in the rundisney web site to register correct?
I was at Riverside for the Princess Half in 2011 and again last year for Wine & Dine. Liked it both times.
, and sorry for being such a pest! I just want to be able to register for all our races, especially HIS first 5K ever! He wants a running supporter alongside with him and quite frankly I wouldn't miss doing it with him for anything. Doing a 10k is my own challenge for myself and I will take any help that will lend to getting us registered for everything. Thanks again!
I get it! It's a lot of pressure, especially since you're responsible for registering him as well as yourself.
Will do!
Sounds like it! But like I said, my kids have written me off as hopeless when it comes to technology.Okay...so I just went to the Star Wars links to "practice." Glad I did as things look the tiniest bit different from when I registered for the Disneyland races.
You click on the Active.com link that will be posted in the registration section of runDisney.com. From there, you're re-directed to a page where you can sign in to your Active.com account. From there you can select who you are registering for - if I choose myself, my name, gender, date of birth and address are pre-filled for me based on the information in my Active.com account. There are other fields to fill in (phone number, shirt size, whether you're competing in the military division Y/N, etc.) but having an Active.com account DOES save a bit of typing.
From there it's sort of survey-type questions (are you a CM, are you an AP holder, etc.) and you acknowledge that you need to submit proof of time if you're completing the half in under 3:15. Options to pre-purchase pins and whatnot...and then you put in the old credit card number. Easy, right?
I tried Star Wars, but wouldn't let me do anything as registration date hasn't arrived for that, but I did sort of walk through a full marathon registration for Marathon Weekend in January. I got to sign into active.com then panicked 
and backed out figuring I was on the right path as you stated.
At least you know what to expect now!Sounds like it! But like I said, my kids have written me off as hopeless when it comes to technology.
I have DH listed under my active.com account. Are you saying that when you went to register for the race it wouldn't let you list another adult or that active.com would not let you register another adult ?When just now doing the Star Wars registration, yes, it's different than it was. Easier, though everything was "on hold" 16 minutes after the hour for AP/DVC registration.
I was able to register my son under my active.com account (I did my 10K fully, then I clicked on the registration link for the 5K), but you can't register another adult in your active account. I couldn't figure out a way to log out of active through that portal so I quickly cleared cookies/cache/history (I do this often, and just did it last night, so it took almost no time...if you're someone who doesn't do this routinely it COULD take long enough to cause a problem) then clicked back on the 5K link from the DVC page. By that time the Half and kid races were "on hold" and I got antsy!
Ultimately, the 10K was the last to "go" of the ones that are now "on hold" (the Half still sits there, lonely), for Star Wars, but I don't regret getting my 10K reg in first.
I was able to create an active account for DH; it doesn't take much time, though if you don't already have the account you do have to type in address, etc, info. After reg was done, I think, it asked me to set up a password, so it was pretty simple.
If I register for Princess I'll have it down to a science.
Sounds like maybe you should create an Active.com account for her - register yourself and then log in as her so she can be registered?
Not sure, this is the first time they have had that. Some of the races that were "on hold" opened back up after a bit if people kept refreshing, so I guess "on hold" does not necessarily mean "full." But who knows...
Yes, there will be runDisney races, but they won't necessarily be better than whatever general public/AP discounts are available at that time. Make sure you do your research when discounts are released!
That's how you're supposed to do it.
If you go to the Star Wars Half Marathon thread, it sounds like people had to sign out completely and then back in order to register a second person. I would make sure you have accounts created for everyone ahead of time.
