Marathon Weekend 2018

[jayfo]

The rule is if you run a non-official combination of races, you get to name it after a Disney character.

Too many posts to like them all, but Congrats to everyone that got in!

I'm in for Dopey #1 (and done!)

I like that rule!
I'm in for the full, but I'm sooooo on the fence about going for the 5k as a practice run. Or....I'll spend the money on the race retreat. Only springing for one.....which should I choose?

I'm in for my first Dopey!

I said that after my first marathon in 2013 and first Dopey in 2015. I guess I am a glutton for punishment (and anniversary medals!)

Dopey for ME!! Dad and his wife are in for the HALF!!

 

[TeeterTots]

Best friend just got registered for her first full! So excited we're both running our first marathon together for the 25th anniversary!! Congrats to everyone who got in!!

Anyone in for Castaway Challenge? Still debating...

 

[huskies90]

Be ready for anything but I do believe it has to do with her age now.

Yes you register her as she's 17 now. I has the same thing when registering for Dopey last year.

Disney does it again. It clearly stated on the registration over 18 as of 1/4/18. Which my daughter will be. So I created her own account and did the whole registration process. Then when I hit "submit" it said she is under 18 and cannot register. So I had to go back in under my account and fill it out again for her.

But after all that, I am done!! 3 of us are in for the half marathon!!!!

Yes that's for the race itself. If you are under 18 at registration time you need to have a parent sign you up. That's how I had done it the last three years. This year I finally could register myself. Glad you got it done!

Nice to see everything open after an hour since pubic registration opened!

If that's the case, can we call the 5K/10K combo the Daisy Dash? Husband will love that.

Did the same... registered my son the same way .... whatever .... I dodged the Active fees at least since I had to register him under my account.

Im a little worried that they decided the 5k and 10k course weren't crowded enough and added more entries. Those races were on hold after 15 minutes and sold out after 30 minutes last year. Sales are probably just slower this year, but I hope they didn't see the success of releasing corrals in smaller increments as an opportunity to add more people to the race.

I can't see them increasing them much if at. All of the 5Ks and 10Ks are taking longer to sell out lately.

Just curious, is there no longer a Disney Visa discount for RunDisney events? In the past, after I entered my card number the site updated my registration fee to show the discount. It didn't do that this year so I ended up paying full price. Did I miss something during registration, or are they just no longer offering the discount?

Dopey Number 3 for me!

On a different note: I had the strangest dream about the 5k the other night.

They haven't had a Disney visa discount for a while now.

Disney Visa hasn't had a discount in years if I remember correctly.

OK, they must have gotten rid of it recently as I know I got the discount when I last ran in 2015. Thanks

Definitely the 5K over Race Retreat!

Totally agree - they can't possibly stuff any more people on those courses. All races are taking longer to sell lately - which is a GOOD thing!

Nope, no discounts to be had, other than the $10 for pre-early-registration for 2017 participants.

Do they not show the % full each race is anymore? (been a few years since I've done Disney)
