HELP - rookie and I need to register....

[lyndeah]

Hi my daughter and I are going to do our first rundisney event (well fingers crossed we get in the queue) -- I cannot for the life of me figure out how I sign up to register. My MDE account has no link and when I go to runDisney there is no place that says sign in.... So where do I go today to make sure tomorrow morning is a smoother transaction to register?

On the rundisney home page, the banner at the top of the page. The far right option is "help and support". Last option in that drop down is manage account and that will prompt you to log in once you click it.

Here is the message I get -

Is that normal?

Registration Run-Down w/ Images! (A comprehensive run-down of the registration process) & Part 2

To expand on this, it looks like Princess 2025 registration is tomorrow. So you'll go to this page to find the links to register tomorrow morning.

https://www.rundisney.com/events/disneyworld/disney-princess-half-marathon-weekend/

If you follow the Princess 2025 thread, you'll see when other DIS members are able to start filling the queue tomorrow morning (usually about 15 min before registration begins at 10:00am eastern). Additionally, if other DIS members get through registration and have extra queues that have short wait times, then they can DM you the link to help get you in as well.

To maximize your chances to get registered, the common advice is multiple browsers on multiple devices. Each browser on each device is a single queue entry that gets randomly assigned a place in line at 10:00am eastern (if on time registration opening). So a Chrome on an iPad, laptop, and iPhone are three different queues with three different chances at a low wait time. While a Chrome on a laptop, and a second tab of chrome on the same laptop is the same queue entry and only gets you one unique chance at registration. Plenty of other tips in the first linked thread, but the queue thing is the #1 tip.

Thank you this is very helpful.... Even though I haven't done an event before, can I still access the queue at the same time as everyone
else?

It doesn’t matter if you haven’t done an event before, everyone has the same opportunity to register. They’ll open a waiting room about 15 min before start, once 10 am hits the waiting room gets sorted in random order for the queue.
