Marathon Weekend 2016

[AThrillingChase]

OMG I registered my husband under my name. So I have two registrations under my name. Anyone have luck switching these?

I haven't had this happen, but I have seen people talking about it on other race threads and they have all said no problem. Though, I'd wait to call rundisney until maybe tomorrow or late afternoon and avoid the angry masses calling them right now to complain!

so I only received emails for the 5k registrations...but im sitting here staring at my confirmation screen for the marathon so I know im in but of course nerves are still on alert LOL

 

[Pixie Heart]

my Amex is declining the 5k purchase!!!!
As I live abroad, they think it is a fraud, and I've beeing rolling from person to person to just let me get through!!!
Dam it!!!

 

[rteetz]

I'm in! Half and 5k now I can relax and train of course! Can't believe the half is already at 50%.

 

[StarGirl11]

Dopey sold out in around 2 hrs last year right? Curious to see if it goes faster this year.

Called the contact customer support line. followed prompts. Got a real person. She fixed it in minutes. UNBELIEVABLE! THANK THE GOOD SWEET RUNNING LORD!

The half showed 50% and went back to 1%,I got in for the full during early registration but I had to be here at noon to see the madness.

Take a photo of the computer screen with your phone. They were turning everyone down with my wine and dine issue but when I sent them the photo they replied within the hour and fixed it!

Wow! I can't believe you go through, that is a running miracle!!

They have a bunch. It's insane. I don't think another weekend will help. It will just be another medal to get.

I think we'll have to agree to disagree on this. DL has 4 race weekends and Tink sold out relatively slowly last year...Avengers is still open. WDW has 3 race weekends...they could use another fall weekend unless they are holding that spot open for Tower of Terror.

I'm following Twitter for capacity updates...they seem to update there more.

Got 2 registrations in. I had the backdoor up in two windows. That helped. Thanks!

 

[StarGirl11]

Holy crap they are reporting Goofy is at 50. Considering last year I think that's the bigger surprise right now.

 

[Pixie Heart]

Done! yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

don't the other ones sell out? Princess, Food and Wine, etc?

I have to wonder if they re-thought how many Goofy spots they had available this year compared to last year. I was surprised to see that too!

Wine & Dine sold out in under a day this year. We'll see what happens with Princess!

Not what you want your customers to see...

We're sorry, the page you tried to find may have moved.
Please use the links below to explore runDisney.

The Chicago Marathon had a similar registration fiasco two years ago and moved to a lottery system.

Marine corps is lottery as well. I have a friend who made it it. That would make the most sense.

I think W&D sold out in about a half hour!

 

[Baloo in MI]

Definitely go with the backdoor link, y'all!

https://www.active.com/register/index.cfm?EVENT_ID=2139472&CHECKSSO=0&INT=29-110-1

Got through and got everyone registered (again). I'll sort everything out later.

Keels thank you so much for the backdoor link! It worked like a charm and I am signed up and going Dopey! So excited. I was more nervous the last hour than I have ever been for an actual race! Now all we have to do is continue to train.
