I'm glad to hear of preorders, I hope they are also for Marathon weekend.

I'm glad to hear of preorders, I hope they are also for Marathon weekend.

I was excited to see them, but it appears I'm not able to get back in post-registration to order anything at this moment. Hopefully that's just an early access or temporary glitch.

Yup! I think we were all tracking those years closely lol. I was planning on Legacy for PDC since they set the precedent with DDD getting it. But who knows now . But fingers still crossed those races return along with Legacy that was already acknowledged and Legacy that was almost there!

And no worries . I've missed words too.



Oof, yeah, if different email that might be tricky. Depends how they're operating it if it's meant to recognize the Key or if it's honor system/gets checked at pick up like some of the supposed MK exclusives at DLR

Will be curious what your experience is!

When you do get your link since you have an MK, do us other MK holders a favor and if there's any extra info about anything related to it please share

I’m probably not going to get the bundle. Just because I’m not sure if I can argue I want it when I’ve never been a Spirit Jersey gal. But I’ll at least report if it shows as an option.

Honestly the only thing I’m thinking of getting is maybe the pin and the loungefly. And that’s a maybe. If it’s like it is with FL then I don’t need necessarily full on decide today.

You can add me. I'm doing C2C, Double Dare and 5K.

 

[StarGirl11]

So after what felt like the worlds longest wait or the email I'm in for the Dumbo Double Dare. @nekonekoneko feel free to add me to that and the C2C though I'm not sure which weekend I'm doing for that yet.

Originally was thinking Marathon weekend but that was before we found out they were putting this the week after. So IDK right now.

To answer the question about the MK bundle. There wasn't really anything extra showing on my end. The pre order stuff was bare minimum just showing us basic names of what was under there. No pictures or anything. I'm suspecting with it being close to a year out its too early for them to have finalized designs. So that's why we don't have much to work with.

Also for anyone who had an active account and a runDisney email and might be wondering about this in the future. The link went to the email that had the active account. But when I pulled it up it just logged me into the runDisney account without any issue.

Also noticed what @The Expert mentioned that they don't have pre reg for products once your done with registration.

I'm thinking they probably will add it in after the genel registration next week. Or after they have designs finalized. Because otherwise your losing a chance for people to make money off of it. Because the last thing I want to think about during registration is what items I want to pre order if I'm worried about getting a bib.

The only thing I picked up was the Loungefly because I knew it was a given. And I didn't want to get into it with the pins and have it all add up right now. Maybe another time.

I’m in for the half, and MW full. I’ll try for MW 10k in regular registration.

It was definitely weird to go through the process without being in a glass case of emotions

This is my assumption as well. And I don't anticipate we'll see any designs during the preorder period. We never have with the WDW preorders, and those were much closer to the event weekends.

 

[Kender]

IIRC from the previous WDW preorders, they asked for your ID and AP at pickup.

If this is how it functions for DLR, I see the issue of someone not knowing they might have needed to renew to pick up

I figured no designs, I should have clarified I was looking for things like if it said anywhere "MK must be active during race weekend" or if anyone tries to purchase it if it does anything to verify their MK status. The logistics side of things sorry!

My DW specifically wants to do Dopey/Dumbo just to do everything all at once, and have one big vacation.

And when I said I might try for a MK/DL park hop, she had this glow in her eyes that made me go "I can't not do it, now!"

All 3 of you have been added!

Except Springtime Preordes has the designs up? This is a screenshot I just took when checking.

Unless your talking about a race weekend in particular and I'm missing it?

Then whoops. But Springtime has had the designs up since the registration started. I know I keep forgetting to go get the loungefly and I remember seeing it like that.

I think Dumbo doesn't because its over 11 months out. And thats not going to be finalized for a while

Though if Springtime has it and a race like Princess or one of the other big ones doesn't that's certainly an odd choice.

See I would probably be for Marathon/5k double and then doing Dumbo. I'm not sure how much my trainer would be into it though considering he's trying not to get me to do too many races at once. And this definitely falls under it.

Fun times of being a disabled athlete.

Yeah if that was there I didn't see it. I'm faily sure they're working on honor system. Partly because while MKs are now easier to get that wasn't the case for a good while. So they probably figure people are less likely to lie on this.

Can you add me? DDD. 5K and C2C (Marathon Weekend!). Thanks. ~ Val

Same here

When do you think availability for hotels could open?
I had hopes for today

Yeah i had to look to find out. But apparently, normally the on-properties don't start up until late summer. July-September somewhere in there from what I can find. And they haven't said when 2024 will start. Just usually that's when it starts from what I found.

So if your like me and opting for on property your going to be waiting a bit.

The Good Neighbors are booking going by some of the other comments on the thread. But its apparently going to be a wait for the trio.

Yeah, my Dreams agent confirmed that they wont release reservations until July-ish for 2024. She is keeping an eye out and registered to get emails from runDisney in case they have packages open up before the July timeframe.

That was definitely an anomaly in my experience with rD since 2016. That's the only race weekend I can recall with actual preview merch images in the preorder.

Summer? Woof! Some of my other favorite hotels are extortive at this point (looking at you, marriott properties), so I was banking on DLH. Hate waiting lol.

Yeah i really wish we didn't have to wait until summer as well. But for me at least off property with a wheelchair racer is just not feasible. Just thinking of trying to load that into an unfamiliar car at 3:30 on a race morning. Or trying to push it down multiple blocks at that time of the morning or fighting the public is just not happening.

runDisney hopefully will provide some accomodations with ART for those who don't or can't put up the price of onsite for disabled athletes. But its too many unknown factors for me.
