Marathon Weekend 2019

"soon Guests will register for races using their Disney account."

GUYS. I am actually pretty upset that we have to wait even effing longer to register. I am so over it.

Yep, over a month away yet.

Pretty much my thoughts exactly. I'm over the waiting. Registration is now 3 months after the originally announced day.
I'm fine with runDisney making a shorter period between registration... but start it next year. Have registration for marathon open in a week or two, and say in the announcement that starting with Dark Side, registration will be 6 months before the race. Dont further delay the already delayed registrations.

Nope. I'm not happy with this announcement at all.

Almost 7 more weeks!!! Well, at least we have a date. I presume they are still working on their new “streamlined race registration experience”.

I’m happy to wait if the new system and process actually work more efficiently. It would be accurate to say I’m a bit skeptical at the moment.

 

[CDKG]

While they mention you can register multiple participants at a time (its about time!) they do not say you can register one participant for multiple races at a time. That would be nice. However, both options could create a lot of “on hold” situations. I hope they are ready for this in July!

Despite the rumors, I’m surprised and a little apprehensive about registering on the Disney site. This could be a change for the better in the long run, but I don’t fully trust that the site will be able to handle the initial rush of registration. I anticipate growing pains but I hope I’m wrong!

I like that you're upset even though you are registered through a TA. It makes me feel better about being upset, haha.

Maybe I will have enough money for Dopey by July...

They aren’t going to shorter registrations from what it looks like though. Just marathon weekend. Dark Side or whatever it is called is eight months out. Princess around seven months.

Edit: well maybe they are both seven months out so never mind really. Just ignore me.

By “Disney account,” I presume they mean the myDisney Experience account?

I feel like it's already a well documented fact on here that I'm not so good with math...

Also - if they're not going with shorter registration periods, then why do we have to wait over a month?

You will use your same login yes just like you do for espn, abc , etc

It's also National Leave The Office Early Day

Well I am glad I came here and read! When I read the announcement on Rundisney site I though it said June 19th. I will be happy to be able to register us both at the same time at least! I hope it doesn't crash the site though. I don't mind waiting to register really as it gives me more time to save up for it. Our family vacation (to Universal this year instead of Disney ) is in mid November and it is taking all my cash at the moment!

Well, we have summer fridays, so leaving early is my normal leaving time for a friday...

Any Disney account should work as they all cross over. ESPN/Disney/MDE/ABC are all connected.

Probably because they still aren't ready...

Sigh. Get your crap together, Disney.
It looks like they're migrating Wine & Dine registrations over to this new system first, so you'll have to tell us how that goes.

Yeah I am interested to see how that works and how soon that happens.

Lucky you!
