Chip and dale was the Kids’ medal “last” year, wasn’t it?

 

[Spikester]

I don't remember. I do love the Daisy/Donald theme for the half.

The blog post artwork doesn’t show Chip and Dale.

I noticed that too.

Does anyone recall how many bib numbers we can associate with a single memory maker?

My plan is to go with two friends who are doing Dopey. I’m going to go for Goofy. That should be five bibs, right?

 

[Herding_Cats]

I’m curious about this too

The language on the results page suggest 5 bibs per race. So it sounds like you would have 2 bibs for 5k/10k (2 Dopeys), and 3 bibs for HM/M (2 Dopeys and 1 Goofy). So you could still have an additional 3 bibs for 5k, 3 bibs for 10k, 2 bibs for HM, and 2 bibs for M.



This is also what rteetz confirmed back in a post in Jan 2020 (link).

I noticed that there was nothing about the HM 25th anniversary on the artwork. Maybe it will be on the medals like the other anniversaries.

I wonder if they bumped it a year due to the fact there wasn't a race in 2017.

ETA: 2023 could be a banner year for anniversary races!

Can we all agree to have two, maybe 3 max windows open Tuesday so we don't all have to wait 45 minutes to an hour to register for races that are not selling out in 20 minutes? I know, I know, I just thought I would suggest it.

 

[Herding_Cats]

Sorry no can do.

I’m planning on having one device in as soon as they open it, one at 10:00 and one at 10:05.

I wish that were realistic, but here's something we CAN do to help each other out. The new system gives you a queue ID in tiny print just under your wait window. If you click on that number, you can get a URL in a pop-up box to rejoin that queue at any time. For the Touch of Disney event in the spring at DL, people who got in with one queue ID but had others still active with short waits were DMing each other the remaining active queue ID links. (DM is best since anybody can use the link if it's just posted.) We created kind of a buddy system and most of us ended up not having to wait as long.

I think @DopeyBadger might even have screenshots of this somewhere? I know it was shared on the W&D thread during their registration.

p.s. If you see that the queue ID is the same on two windows, close one of them. You need to use incognito windows or separate browsers to get multiple queue IDs on the same device.

You can see the queue ID in the image below starting with "28de".

Well, last week our plans changed and won’t be able to do MW this January. Bummed as it would be first Dopey. But it could be a blessing. Doing my first marathon in October (Wineglass). That’ll be a gauge to show me what to work on for the next year. I was getting overwhelmed mentally. Anyways I look forward to reading how everyone does! I’ll be cheering you all on! Best of luck to all for registering Tuesday no matter what race(s) you’re going for! Maybe we’ll see some of you at W&D in November!

buddy system

I'd like to get hooked up with a buddy, as I will be trying to access the site on my mobile phone, from a hotel room. Bad timing to plan a vacation!

 

[The Expert]

It kind of happened on the fly, with people picking folks from the thread who said they were still waiting and telling them to check their DMs. It's hard to know who will get in and have extra queues that are shorter than yours until it's happening.

I want to do Dopey. But I don't want to train for a marathon. But I want to do Dopey.

I feel like you get me...
