I expect it will update at noon. And then we will crash the system.

Probably, but the footnote on the dvc site mentioned midnight, which was when the link popped up.

Same on the AP site. Midnight? Are they kidding me?

Ok I see it now. All it has now is 2014 defer options. Dopey is not listed yet. Am I not holding my mouth right or will it all be fixed at 12 today??? Thanks for the insight

That's the great unknown, and also probably having your registration handled by a third party, and your own sites updated internally..

That depends... how are you holding your mouth now?

Uhhh I'm still waiting on the Disney visa email with the link for early registration! I got a response email to my question about if there would be early registration for Visa card holders and now it's a waiting game!! Has anyone heard if we will get to register tomorrow???

I have not seen a Visa card email either. I thought it was suppose to arrive after midnight. Anyone seen it?

Not yet. I was just on the Perks page and no mention of any rD discounting.

Funny. I can't believe I'm so anxious for this dang Dopey event. I signed up for Ironman Fl 140.6 this year and wasn't this nervous! W.T.Frenchtoast!!!
Thanks again guys and gals. Please keep the info coming.

Any discounts for AP's?

The link via the AP site is working. I've had 2 friends register within the last 15 minutes. I don't think Visa has access until tomorrow after 12pm. There are people posting the active links to FB. What's to keep non-AP and DVC members from registering? Nothing!

And I am so very very thankful! At least you are able to update your time. Many of the events I register for don't allow any changes to be made to proof of time.



Don't wait! You have until 11/01/13 to submit your new time! I registered today and included a 15k time. Just started racing again post-baby. But I'll will be running 3-1/2s and a full in the fall and will update my time.



I think you're correct which may change the appeal of the runDisney events. It use to be considered a great "first" race for newbies.



I'll be solo Wed-Fri pm. My family will be joining me on Saturday afternoon. I have a 1yo so I don't want to disrupt her schedule too much.



Me too! Are you going Dopey?


I registered today for the Dopey RWC. Active.com locked up twice but it did open before 12pm. I may have sneaked in too early.

Also, I called the WDW sports company regarding travel packages today. If you are booking a room through Disney, you can add on the registration for the race and avoid the active.com fees. The fee for the Dopey was stupid!!! Grrr..... This is the first year they are able to do this. The guy I spoke with said their offices open at 8:30 but he wasn't sure if you'd have to wait until 12pm to book.

I tried the WDW Sports co option just now. The lady on the phone literally laughed in my face when I asked her for 2014. She used the term "weeks" until she will have info on this. If anyone gets this to work, let me know. I wouldn't mind booking my room today.

Ok, so do register now with no discount or wait for Visa discount? Decisions,decisions.

Wow, uh, that should go well.

You can book your room 4/9.
