137. (Sadly going away). When I first sit down on a DME, the info video of WDW is running, everyone is excited and it really feels like a vacation has begun.

I will miss Disney’s Magical Express.

I don't mean to interrupt the counts but I have to say I'm feeling much better about my wife getting the in-person 5K based on the speed that W&D is not selling out. I was never too worried about the full but now I really think I won't need to rush right at 10.

Yes, but can we really count on the marathon weekend registration to go as slowly as W & D? I'm wondering if different factors may be at play.

I don't know. My assumption is Dopey will sell much faster than the challenge but I'm not sure if the other races are all that much faster to sell out. I'll need to go back through DopeyBadger's posts to see.

EDIT: Ok, looking back at 2019, the last time we were in a normal race cycle without a pandemic in the picture, W&D sold out much faster than marathon weekend so I'm still feeling pretty good.
