I panicked!

I was registering me and a friend, and honestly I couldn't commit my friend to 5+ days in Orlando without talking it over first. If I was just registering myself, it may have gone very differently!

 

[fatmanatee]

FWIW at this point last year all races were sold out.

 

[tikilyn]

I have a 42 min if anyone wants it. DM

My link is gone

Grats everyone on registration! I was able to register after about 20 past and got in for Dopey #3. Huge relief since dvc room is already rented, LOL.

Same here! I already got my DVC room. If I didn't get into Dopey, that weekend would've gotten awkward really quick!

Same feeling here! Booked DVC at the 11 month mark and I need to use my points! haha

My brother is doing the 5k & 10k, my sister-in-law is doing the half, so at least I can keep them company. I guess. For an extra $400.

 

[jrsharp21]

My co-worker got in for the 5k, along with her 8 year old son. I told her to book her hotel room now. Now that people have confirmation that they are running, prices are going to go up on the rooms and people are going to start booking.

Marathon is the best value... so good choice.

I’ll have to go through the 25 or more pages of stuff I missed out on while the craziness was happening. Like many I had 6 windows, all more than an hour to start. One of them started the progress bar after about 5 minutes and updated to 31 minutes about 10 minutes after 10. During this time I confirmed my sister, mom, sister’s partner and sister’s partner’s mom all had over an hour in all of their browsers as well and mine was going to be the first in by a wide margin.

I registered myself for the 10k and Half, my Mom for the 5k, sister’s partner for Dopey, my nephew for the Half and my niece for the 10k. I was going to register my sisters’s partner’s mom and kids but she had a window opening where she could get it done quicker than she could transfer the info to me. Unfortunately, I don’t think she got the rest of her family into everything they wanted.

I wasn’t expecting this type of demand again this year. I guess I’m naive, even after nearly 15 years of doing this, but I thought the later dates and being further out from the post-pandemic boom would be a bit of a cooler on participants. This is probably the toughest registration I’ve had in a while. First time anyone in my extended party who was prepared for registration missed out on things. Between my entire group, we had one window out of about 20 that got in in time to sign up for the races we wanted. That’s really crazy.

Quick thought on how this went: time estimates popped up at 10:01, so I wonder if they waited until then to officially let people into the queue. They've been getting a lot of complaints from people who swear they jumped in at 10:00 and got shut out, so it would be logical to wait a minute and then open things up. Not sure if that's always been the case, but I noticed it this go-around.

Depends on the value you put on the shirts & medals I guess...
But I appreciate all that math just to make me feel better!

 

[BKostecki]

Whew! Made it in for my fourth Dopey and got my kid in for the 10k. Thanks to all who offered registration links!

I just noticed marathon is only $2 more than half marathon...I mean, for those of you on the fence between half and full, I mean for $2 more it seems like a no brainer.
