Honestly, sometimes I feel bad for hogging bandwidth but multiple devices/browsers is the only way I've ever gotten registration for runDisney, moonlight magic, sorcerer expo tickets, d23 events, dining reservations, blah blah, whatever. And sometimes I don't get it, even with all the crazy tricks! They trained us to behave this way, and I hate that they try to share bad info ("don't do x") because their servers and processes can't handle it. Ok! Then find a way to improve it, or make it fair. Until then, we're pretty much forced to blitz registration.Did anyone watch the video from Rundisney with tips on registering for races with the warning not to open multiple browsers or try to register on multiple devices?
No, they apparently think I don’t need a reminderAnybody else get an email from runDisney reminding us that registration for DL half is coming up? Yes, we know!

They can switch to a lotto system or update it so you can only enter the queue once. What they’ve chosen to do instead is make the problem worse by bringing more attention to it.Did anyone watch the video from Rundisney with tips on registering for races with the warning not to open multiple browsers or try to register on multiple devices?
I don’t even feel bad! For MW I opened probably 20 browsers across three devices in various browsers at various times. I think 2 of the ~20 had a time under 60 minutes when registration finally opened. I used one and sent the other to a friend and closed the rest. Dopey sold out in some 35 minutes? Crazy to think if I hadn’t opened so many windows I likely would have missed out on all registrations. I know it only contributes to the issue but it’s their issue, not ours!Honestly, sometimes I feel bad for hogging bandwidth but multiple devices/browsers is the only way I've ever gotten registration for runDisney, moonlight magic, sorcerer expo tickets, d23 events, dining reservations, blah blah, whatever.

Someone correct me if the DL registration is different as I have only done WDW! I never log in but I have my password saved/memorized to enter it in quickly when it's needed. I think the browsers need to be incognito/private, regular browsers/tabs will just give you the same queue ID. Your spot in the queue is randomized so while I usually open browsers at various times (before the registration time, right at registration, a minute after) I don't think it really matters. But if you only open one browser you're at risk of being really far back in the queue with over an hour wait and no other options...I know some DL races have sold out in like 30-40 minutes like WDW. My friend opened maybe 5 browsers and not a single one made it through the queue before the races sold out, they only got in because I sent them a link (there's an option to copy the queue link and send to someone else). Many will say stop opening multiple browsers because that's what crashes the site, which is true...Oh crap, now you all have me terrified!! So many browsers open????? Do you just log in and get the minutes message, then open another browser and log in again and rinse and repeat???? I've only done the DL Tink in 2017 and I got the 10k no issue. But I'm totally understanding that registration has ramped up and with DL races back again, it's going to be lucky timing!

I am thinking they may not have them for Disneyland. They didn't in the old days for Disneyland either but who knows.

I just watched the video. I think RunDisney is serious this time. The video mentions the possibility of ending up on Santa's naughty list. That is serious. I wonder if Santa will forgive one transgression.Did anyone watch the video from Rundisney with tips on registering for races with the warning not to open multiple browsers or try to register on multiple devices?
Whether or not the video is serious, or poor strategy..... I'm still really interested in seeing it.I just watched the video. I think RunDisney is serious this time.

If they keep the same registration platform, you will select one race and go through the entire registration process for it up to the point of payment. Before you head to the payment screen, there will be an option to add another registration. You'll then go through and add all the details for the second registration separately. Once all your registrations are done, you'll go to payment and pay for all of them at once. The risk is that if one of the races sells out during that process, you won't be able to pay.Whether or not the video is serious, or poor strategy..... I'm still really interested in seeing it.
This will be the first time I try to register for runDisney. I want to run the half marathon and my husband wants to run the 10k, but he won't have access to a computer at work during the registration time so I'll be attempting to register both of us.
Our priority is that I run the half. Do I go thru that entire registration process once for myself before trying to register him for 10k, or can I check off (or add to cart) the half and the 10k and then be able to distinguish who is running each race?
Eeeek! This is starting to put a bitter taste in my mouth.....
