2026 Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend

[marty3d]

The waiting room is already open? Is that earlier than usual?

Is this a new waiting room? I last registered for MW and don't recall this one. Hope they still have queue links!

Good morning! This new waiting room is a little nerve-racking because I'm so used to the old system but we will see how it goes (at least I think it's new? I didn't register for springtime, just princess this year). Hoping to register for the 5k for both myself and my 6 year old. Fingers crossed.

I wondering how the stagger method will work as well as saving a tab to click right at 10

I have two browsers (of six)in now we shall see

They tried a waiting room for one of the races this past year and it didn't properly refresh once registration went online, so they abandoned it for the next race weekend. Looks like they think they've worked out the kinks, but be ready to refresh manually or have another window open for a fresh entry.

For posterity, in case we need to update the "how to register" thread.

Dang, I almost had a moment of panic that I missed it!

I'm good for the races, just trying to register my sister who got randomly called for jury duty this morning.

Well I'm glad I blocked off my whole morning this time - especially if we're dealing with anything new (for MW I had completely forgotten about the date and had to manage on hotel wifi)

It's there as soon as you go to rundisney.com.

Interesting that the waiting room no longers includes a specific ID / code

Strange, works on my phone, but not desktop

This seems like an earlier waiting room than prior races? Am I wrong?

I'm on desktop (Chrome). Might have to clear cache or something.

It's usually 9:45. This also looks like a different queue setup, we'll see if that means anything for sharing links.

When they tried this before, it was the same. You're not in the queue yet, so you won't see a queueID. Once it refreshes to the next step at 10am, we should see the queue page (unless that's changed too).

I'm pretty sure that the code only showed up once you were put in the queue.

I have a safari, chrome, and firefox up. Can you do more than one chrome?

This is my first rD since WM 2024 so this looks different. I'm doing the half and trying to get the 5k for my son and me. I'm debating just doing all three vs the half then the two 5ks since I assume the added capacity will make that sell out much later.

Thanks... the ID used to pop up immediately... but now instead of randomizing the queue at 10:00, they must be forwarding us from the waiting room to the actual queue

If you use an incognito window, yes.
