Marathon Weekend 2018

[pchristofferson]

I have never registered for a runDisney race before, but I am hoping to register our family of 4 today (we are DVC members) for the 5K - and my son and I for the half marathon. Will I need a separate active.com account for every family member in order to register each person? Or can I register all of us under my own account? Thanks...

Yes.

LOL, I didn't phrase that very well ... I assume "yes" means each person needs their own account? Thank you!

You need a separate active account for each adult, but if I recall correctly, you can use your own account to register minors. I've registered my kids who are now 10 and 8 in the past, and I believe I have used my account for them, but my husband I had to set a new one up for.

The link on the dvc site still lists the hero marathon registration, will this change before 2 hours???? Same for AP...
Is that the link we are looking for??

I also suggest getting on Active now and setting the account up ahead of time. AP and DVC members only have so made spots available today. You want to be sure you can do it as quickly as possible. It can definitely be done, I have gotten 4 5ks and a challenge in the past without trouble, but everything you can do to speed the process up is a good idea. If you son is doing the half with you, he must be at least 14. Not sure at what age Active allows accounts, but I'd try making him one now too, and any other kids just in case. That way you are not surprised if they need their own accounts. Also, to be clear, for younger kids I have used my account, but you do have to do each registration separately. Meaning you can't just build a "cart" so to speak and pay for all at once at the end. Each registration is a totally unique transaction, which is the reason it can take a while.

Yes, that is the right link usually, it should change at (or just before) noon. But this is runDisney so... I've had years for PHM where it changed 10 minutes early and one time it was a little late. But, you are in the right place

Hello and I'm looking for some assistance. Please. I am a DVC member and an annual passholder. My college age son is also a passholder. I am looking to sign him up tomorrow for the Marathon weekend 10k. Can I sign him up under my DVC membership? The other option is to sign him up as an annual passholder but anytime I try to just access the annual passholder page in my disney experience I get the dreaded Stitch message "someone ate the page". I manage my son's annual pass and fastpasses, etc. I know the 10k will go quickly and can't figure out how to sign him up. I have been successful signing myself up using the DVC link at the stroke of noon for early sign up in the past. Can I do that for his registration? He already has an Active account set up. Thank you.

Usually clearing your browser history will allow the AP page to load.

Usually clearing your browser history will allow the AP page to load.

The other thing to try is a different browser. I have trouble with the AP page using Chrome, but IE seems to work just fine with it.

 

[Marc A.]

Found that as well...need to clear history but it is a PITA!

 

[Marc A.]

I will post, can someone else....if they see the link changing

Today's Disney Question:

What attraction that is no longer at Walt Disney World do you miss the most?

Since I started going in '73. Sky lift, 20,000, Toad's, and Eastern's If You had Wings from the MK. Original Figment and Horizon's from Epcot.

Never change, runDisney. Never change.

This is crazy, this is crazy

Nothing still

 

[bananabean]

Is this going to be another W&D where they announce at the moment of registration that they're postponing?
