One of my 3 is down to 48 minutes, when I tried for Wine & Dine (my first attempt at registration ever) i never got below an hour so Im taking this as an improvement!
At what point is demand so high that they should just switch to a lottery system. Same result, but way less stressful. (My single window is still over an hour, having barely budged.)
The current system is more stressful for us, but not for runDisney. Moving to a lottery would help us out, but it would require reprogramming the entire website to allow for that. And then what happens for people who don't get in? Do they get on a waiting list, or is it just dumped and a new free-for-all when registrations reopen?
They still get our money either way, they ultimately don't care where the money came from.
Thank you for everyone's help. I had one browser start at 55 minutes, in at 17 minutes. Got very lucky. I am in for the Dopey, and my wife is in for the 5k and 10k. So excited to be running in WDW again next year!
Usually it's my safari windows that actually work, but today it's chrome that is moving, though the bar is about 1/4 filled it still says wait is over an hour. I have three safari (laptop, iPad, iPhone) and one chrome (laptop) going. All oven an hour, chrome is furthest, than iPad just started moving. Safari phone and laptop haven't moved at all.
I'm in! I planned on doing Dopey but made a last minute pivot after talking with my husband this morning. "Just" doing the 10k and half marathon, and my husband and two friends will join for the 10k. After doing my first Dopey this year, I'm both bummed and relieved for this change in plans
Thanks for always providing such helpful hints! I look forward to chatting with this group in the many months leading up to Marathon Weekend!
DH and I are in for the half. I had one that went from over an hour to 55, then 17, then steadily dropped. All others stayed over an hour, though the progress bar was moving on some of them. The one that worked was a private Safari browser on my iPhone, set to cellular data, if that helps anyone. I wish I had some way to share with everyone. Fingers crossed that you all get in what you want.
