DDD sold out for DVC

 

[SgtTibbs]

Woot! I made Dumbo! Which sold out in like 10min! Wow.

 

[Keels]

Good luck to everyone registering today - I'm super jealous!!

And thanks for all the well wishes - I had a BLAST this weekend, and beat my goal time by almost 9 minutes!! I'm working on my review for my blog and I'll post the link here when I'm done.

Now, the debate begins - 5k and Half? Or DDD? Ack!

The links finally worked after about 15 minutes:

I had the Dumbo in my cart but got an error when I tried to pay, there must have been a really limited amount. Got in on the Half though.

So disappointed that I missed out on the DDD. I got in as soon as they opened and tried to type as quickly as I could but got to the end and then got the limit met.

The AP link was late this morning.....causing a lot of stress.

Finally got it...and DH and myself are in. It will be 9yr running this race for us.

 

[SueInBoston]

just curious...anyone that got in DDD, did you use DVC or AP early registration?

The DVC link didn't work for me until about 12:15 which at that point DDD already sold out.

What a cluster. I didn't get DDD. I am so bummed. Like someone else, it was in my cart when I finished check out it said "registration limit check failed for desired event."

So irritated that links weren't up and working at 9.

I did the Star Wars Half and wanted the DDD for my birthday present to myself. I'm really upset.

Guess I'll try at regular onsale, but I do not have high hopes.

Did anyone else register a kid for one of the kids' races? I filled out all his information when registering, but now looking at it on active.com it's showing my name and information. Is that normal, or did I screw something up?

AP for me...started refreshing at 11:55EST and got lucky.

Congrats to everyone who got in this morning

Commiserations to those who were unsuccessful on this attempt. Good luck for general registration.

With a LOT of stress and some help from a facebook group, I managed to get DH and I registered for the half and the 5k

Keels, congrats on your great time! Can't wait to read all about it

Beat your goal time?! That's gotta be a great feeling! Congrats!

AP for me. Started refrershing early at a couple of the webpages. But this was the one that popped the links up first a couple of minutes before the set time: https://www.rundisney.com/annual-passholders/. Was in and out in three minutes (only registering myself).

It really is far too stressful a process at 3:30am... Now it's nearly 5am and I'm far too wired to go back to bed

I guess it's good training for race day

 

[Ariel484]

And FYI for anyone that has not registered yet - they did NOT ask for a proof of time. They asked if you thought you'd finish in 3:20, 3:25, 3:30...and you'd click a box.

Then there was a box for if you think you'll finish in under 3:15. If you click that, you click another box acknowledging that you'll need to provide proof of time at a later date. That's different from what I remember for other races, so I thought that was interesting.

Really though.

I was REALLY proud of myself! I'd wanted to finish in under 1:30, ended up finishing in 1:21! For a moment there, I was on pace for a 1:18 finish (that's my goal for my 10K here in Fort Worth in February), but I dialed it down a little bit so I could finish strong.

My fastest 10K training run previous to this was 1:27, so ... yeah, thank you Race Day Adrenaline!!

That is fantastic! You SHOULD be very proud of yourself I've done 3 and still haven't broken 1:18!
