Marathon Weekend 2027

[CinderEmma94]

Managed to register myself and my daughter through a charity! Thanks for the link to the directory, I saw that an organization that is near and dear to us had 5k bibs so I grabbed them. My mom has multiple myeloma, and it felt right to go through the MMRF. Now I have no idea how it all works with predicted time/corral placement/waivers because its not connected to my runDisney account, but I'm sure it's not a huge deal and we will figure it out.

I hear you but I wonder if the early waiting room open was to lessen the crush on the servers when everyone in the world starts trying to join at 9:45. I mean, I'm not an IT guy so maybe that's not even a thing but seems like a plausible explanation.

Been awhile since they had a server crash. It's a reasonable concern but I just think opening it up that early is overkill. It gets everyone in a panic, pushing people to spend their entire morning going crazy over this, and if you don't get in you just wasted most of the morning.

I am hopelessly behind, I think about 30 pages. So going to drop this in and then catch up. Hoping to see that many, if not all, got what they wanted!

First - the thoughts on John Cusack, as a straight male, I co-sign!

Second - SAFD
I simply could not come up with my top 3 live action, so I decided to categorize it to feel better about my selections. For my IP category that was easier for me.
Live Action:
-Remember the Titans
-Cool Runnings
-Miracle

IP:
Rogue One
Guardians of the Galaxy
The Muppets (2011)

Third - Registration…
Well I got lucky, given I was in a parking lot of doctors office on public Wi-Fi and cellular. Between my DW and I we got what we wanted: Dopey for me (sort of), Dopey for DD#2, Dopey for FSIL, 5k for DD#1. My dopey Registration for some reason - likely the chaos of the moment and my DW and I handing things back and forth as we tried to register multiple people at the same time - has my DW’s first name and everything else is my info. I have an email into runDisney and hope to get this resolved and then we are set.

Wishing the best for everyone!

Congrats to everyone who got in today! For those of you who didn’t, I’m so sorry. I did manage to get my bib last year through telegram alert so I would definitely check that out. And don’t loose patience! I didn’t secure mine until August!

I entered the waiting room on my laptop and IPAD around 1 1/2 hour early and both of those were over an hour wait. Entered my phone 3 minutes before it opened, had a 50 minute wait and got registered very quickly. It's seems so random.

one payment transaction, once you get to the bottom of the registration page you select “Add another registration”.

I saw many people getting the error once they put their card in, what they didn’t realize is that you had to scroll up past the merch again and click “I’m ready to pay” AGAIN, and then it would free up the payment button.

you can be a bit faster too if you pre-sign in with your email prior to registration, that was 1 of the 6 is pre-populated.

Based on your example, you’ll need 6 total registrations, Person A has 2, Person B has 2 and Person C has 2.

FWIW: chrome incognito worked the best for me

Thank you so much, that is exactly what I was hoping and would be the easiest way. Thank you!

Wife and I didn’t get in. Every one of our devices was over an hour wait. My wife was still 30 minutes when everything sold out. There has to be a better way than random queue placement.

I've been casually observing b/c I want to register for Dopey in 2028 and maybe W&D for 2027. It definitely was a lot less chaotic when I registered back in 2020. MW is the bigger priority, so I guess a charity would be my next option if I get shut out via conventional methods. I guess you can incorporate the charity into a run costume?
