Marathon Weekend 2024

[kristenabelle]

Best of luck to everyone going for it today!! Thinking of you & crossing all my fingers and toes for disboards folks! Taking MW off after Dopey #1 -- I'll be back eventually, but I'll see y'all at W&D/DLH in the meantime

Ok. Now my body is trying to go back to sleep. No, too late now body! I'm gonna go feed the cat and get my war room set up.

Good luck everyone!

Wait, is something happening today?

I think the issue is that multiple people can open the link and it's only when the timer runs out that you realise someone got there before you and so it creates a lot of extra stress

Speaking as someone who had this happen with DL registration… yes.

So do you not really login to your account until registration opens?

Well, the universe has a sense of humor. There is a huge accident near my house today that's blocking the path to daycare, so my son is home today. On registration day. And he's a stage four clinger who wants to be by my side all the time. Here's hoping he can be distracted while I sign up!!!

I think the best way to handle the extra links is to post you have one and the first person that replies gets it DMd to them. At least then they know they have sole access to it and no one else waists time.

Hey all! All geared up and ready to register for the full marathon (my first!) and the 5k to be part of a group costume with friends. Hope everyone has a smooth registration session this morning

I had intended to go for Dopey again after a horrible flu knocked me out this January and made it impossible for me to race, but my SIL announced that she’s expecting the first grandchild of the family. I want to be around to spoil my new niece or nephew and just can’t commit to the same level of training Dopey requires, so taking a step back and focusing on JUST the marathon - probably wiser to build up slowly again anyways than attempt my first marathon in a Dopey combo LOL

Tickets go on sale for Star Wars Episode X. Even though it's not coming out until summer 2025

I'm hauling out the super high-value things for DD to play with in about 30min. She's also a clinger. I'm hoping that paint [cringe] is enough of a distraction for her for at least 30min. She's currently begging to go outside and play beanbags, but if I don't go play them with her she will try to physically drag me into the yard with her.

So do you not really login to your account until registration opens?

I login to each device and browser before entering the queue. It would be something I would be doing right now. I also preset all browsers to auto fill the information. In most cases upon entering the registration after your queue is called they have you re-log in. But that last part is from memory.

I had convinced myself that I want to do W&D next year instead of MW. I’ve done Dopey twice now and I love it, but I want to start traveling for other marathons and Dopey makes that hard to fit much more in. But….now I’m sitting here getting ready to try to register. It’s like a disease!

 

[Naomeri]

I will be rooting for all of you to get the races you want with as little stress as possible from my plane to Disney World

Is using two browsers on the same device worth the effort? I'm at work so I only have my computer and phone, but I have Chrome and Firefox on my work computer.

 

[PrincessV]

For W&D, I had 3 devices going: 1 on cellular, 2 on WiFi, 2 of them with 2 different browsers… NONE of them got me in: it was a gifted URL from a DISer that worked. I’m not saying doing all the things doesn’t work, only that there’s a fair amount of luck in the mix, too.

May the odds be ever in your favor. Mine is currently watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and I just gave him an apple. If he gets bored, I'm putting on Daniel Tiger.

It's not letting me log into my account without a code. Not a good start.

I randomly can't login on Safari but can on chrome

Good luck everyone! Hope you get all the races you want.

Getting nervous. I was telling my wife this morning that I don't have a good feeling about this.
