Marathon Weekend 2023

i just found out my 11 am meeting got canceled. Good thing since i may still be waiting ,

Too blessed to be stressed.
(jk, we're all stressed.)

I guess this is what happens when runners advise each other to use multiple browsers and windows. Even a virtual queue can be overwhelmed. We're our own inadvertent denial of service attack.

For what it's worth, I never came close to missing registration for a race on Active, but it's been touch and go with registration errors on the Disney system.

Should we start taking bets on when this get resolved? Before 11am? Before 12pm? Today?

I took the entire day off work!

dwarves galore

 

[Baloo in MI]

Glad I am off until 1! But I will have nightmares for days of spinning circles and dwarves!

 

[PrincessV]

Funny... the longer they make me wait in these queues that may not actually lead anywhere, the less inclined am I to fork over a fistful of money...

 

[Kitty-chan]

Somehow they keep failing to anticipate demand. In this age of virtualized servers, they absolutely should have doubled or tripled their capacity for today.

Yeah, and it's really not hard to do. As an IT person myself, I always wonder if Disney IT is asking leadership for money to do that, and getting turned down.

if RD went down after 10am, and I’ve had spinning circles from before then, does that mean there’s nothing for them to “uncircle” to?

I might throw up…

They have queue ID's which would be stored in a database, so unless they do something silly you should be fine still.

 

[1GoldenSun]

I never want to see those dwarfs again. Mine Train will never be the same.

 

[Zurezo]

Disney should have a club run disney link up vs. Dwarfs!

The real way to sell it is on days like today. haha

 

[kevin75]

I've got to leave for work in an hour and a half.

 

[QueenFernando]

Maybe this is the Marketing Depart's plan to sell more club rundisney memeberships

 

[1lilspark]

For gigs and shiggles tried pulling RunDisney up on safari while getting ready for work and it’s just a white page

Me too - next meeting is at 1 -but the circles are making me dizzy!

 

[accm]

I feel like I should feel reassured right now at least that noone else can get through, but I can't help but imagine that other people are getting in and registering while im sitting here being thanked for being patient.

 

[CP3uhoh]

If you have 10 windows open maybe you cut Disney IT some slack, they can’t pay for or maintain server capacity that can handle that event half a dozen times a year. It’s not practical. Plenty to complain about with Disney IT but people having 10 windows open compiling who have never been locked out of registration because they log on during the first minutes is pretty petty. You’re the problem.

I have re-christened my Chrome browser as Obi-Wan

It's my only hope...

thank you- I’m clinging to this, though I still might throw up

It could be an issue of a poorly coded application. If it isn't designed to be easily scalable then it wouldn't be able to take advantage of on demand servers.
