@Belle Ella I searched by my last name.

@Belle Ella I searched by my last name.

Me too. No issues for me or DW.

For anyone who has already used it, are we searching by bib numbers or name? I still can't access my bib number and contacting runDisney sounds like I have to wait until the Expo. I just want to do something already! It's making me more antsy than normal.

Hi Jessica
I did it the other night and I did it by name.

Are you going early to the expo Thurs. ??

Forgot to mention this on the other thread, have you played around w/ your bday? That happened once to me they transposed the month and day so you could play a little w/ that and maybe the #s in the year?

That tracking form only takes names so dates won't help

I am! I'll be there by 6 am like I normally am, waiting in line for the official mercy (even though all I'm buying are pins, haha). At least then I'll have time to check with runner relations.

What about you?

I have. But when they found my registration information they sent it all to me to be verify it all and it was entered correctly there. I've still tried to mess around with it a little but have had no such luck so far.

The dates suggestion was to help with my waiver that I still can't pull up. But even searching my last name for runner tracking I don't come up either. I'm sure this is all having to do with my late registration, but it's still frustrating.

Can I pull my hair out yet?

Hope to be there by 8:00. Shooting for that and will try earlier. Wonder where they are going to put us this time...the underground garage or a ballroom ??? Hope it's the ballroom again like for Tink.

My understanding is that the move to the ballroom upstairs for the official mercy queue is a permanent change, and every time I've talked about the Expos with my friends in Special Events only seem to confirm that. The garage downstairs should still be used for the Dooney line and packet pick up line. Whoever first had the idea to do use the ballroom and have us go down to the expo store in a single file line was pretty much a genius. Soooo much chaos before.

I'm mostly hoping they will have a movie for us this time, like they did with Star Wars.

That's good news about the ballroom. A movie would just be a added bonus but I always bring a book just in case.

This has probably been asked, but this thread is quite long now. Anyone use Uber from SNA? Trying to decide between this and taxi. Uber is usually so much cheaper. I've never had a bad experience but have never been to Cali.

 

[SgtTibbs]

One day I shall have to figure out what a "Dooney" is.

In unrelated news, I now have one more thing to worry about. Tropical storm "Erika" is due to grow and move it's way up the coast next week. I've had previous trips to Disney stalled by bad weather. Go away Erika!

Depends on whether you want to do Uber or are okay with UberX. I looked up the rate on regular Uber & the fate estinate was around $65. I think it was closer to $35 on UberX.

I'm testing out Lyft on this trip. I've heard it's pretty good in SoCal. The estimated fare from SNA to DLR is about $30, and there is a new user code you can Google that'll give you a $25 credit on your first ride.

I had the same thought about the weather. Our flights leave DC next Friday morning and we don't have much room for delays. Yikes!

That is cutting it close. I'm scheduled to go out Thursday, but worst case scenario Wednesday I'll drive to Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus, or Chicago and get a flight from there. And I just noticed how weird it is that all those cities start with the same letter. Hopefully this storm will blow itself out or just terrorize Florida.

That's because those places are where all the Cool people live.

Also, a Dooney is a purse. I would know!

Which also explains why I would not know.

I would rather not be in the know when it comes to Dooneys @SgtTibbs, but my lovely wife has made sure that I am VERY FAMILIAR with that particular brand.
