It has been as while since I have been on here, but any thoughts on how quickly this year will fill? This year they have club run Disney and pent up demand, and last year It was crazy how quickly it sold out. Part of me thinks everything will sell out quickly, but the other part of me thinks last year was a bit of an anomaly because they had such restrictions. I am just happy the races are back…I didn’t think Disney would see the point in having them for a bit.

I’m preparing for the worst, that there will be crazy high demand but they’ll still be selling reduced fields. So it will be similar to last year with most races being sold out in 20-30 minutes. If it’s anything other, I’ll be pleasantly surprised. Even if the races sell out in a couple hours, I’d consider that okay, since it would hopefully ensure that at least everyone who is on right as registration opens has a chance to get in. Not the crapshoot of being stuck in the queue for 20 minutes and missing out.

But geez, how nice would it be to go back to the pre-pandemic days when we had moved on from the days of instant sellouts and races stayed open for a few months. For 2019 Princess, I did not sign up until the fall. Ahh, those were the days.
