Keels- thanks for the link and the advice on how to "prep for registration".
Having it in writing helps with the last minute panic!
Anyone else feel like they need to eat a banana now?

YES!!!

At 12:00:20, my DH changed his mind again and decided he did want to do the 5k with our DD10 after all. I had to switch active accounts and everything just froze.

Looks like I didn't have to worry after all since 5k is still open, but my heart is still beating like crazy.

Surprised Dumbo hasn't been "on hold" yet. I wonder if people are balking at the price increase for that one...

Who knows? I know one TA already sold more than half of their DDD bib allotment before registration opened today, so maybe people went through TAs to skip the rush of registration? Especially since early registration sold out in like 30 seconds.

Maybe? I just looked back and it sold out in 35 minutes last year on the rD site, so for this year I guess you could look at it as people wanting to avoid the craziness (signing up with a TA ahead of time) or wanting to avoid the $30 price increase.

 

[Keels]

Yikes. I just looked and DDD is about $50 more (with Active fees) than what I paid for GSC.

Bingo. They clearly decided to be super aggressive with the pricing...it was $320 before fees last year.

And I guess runDisney is just totally bagging the reporting of capacity percentages for registration and deferrals...

There wasn't anywhere to designate Coast to Coast... Did I miss something?

RD automatically marks that for you.

No, they took that away awhile ago...they just *know.*

Disney magic!

You'll need to scan your Magic Band at the finish line. When the light turns green, you'll be given your C2C medal.
