Official 2016 Princess Half Marathon Thread

Question? Do I need to purchase a Chear Squad package for my husband to view me at the races? And, I'm officially signed up for the Glass Slipper Challenge!! SOO excited!

Still confused about the DVC discount. This morning on the DVC member website, it listed a code to get 10% off Run Disney races, which I dutifully wrote down. Then when I registered, it would not take the code. I have now gone back to the DVC member website and can't find that code anywhere or anything about it. Did I hallucinate this morning? What gives? It's less the 10% that I'm concerned about than the fact that I may be crazy.

Yeah! Beyond excited!! All registered for the 1/2. My first 1/2. Anyone know if you sign up for the 1/2 now, if you can change to the Glass Shoe on open registration? Glass Shoe was gone in less than 5 minutes. Not sure, but wondering if its a possibility?

Got DH in for GSC at 12:18. Still on hold for DD.

No. I spectated the Princess Half in 2014 and was able to see my friend in 3 places - on Main Street in Magic Kingdom, and then coming into and out of Epcot. No ChEAR package required.

10K just refreshed OFF hold when I checked.

Last I heard, there are no longer discounts for the races, DVC or otherwise.

You can only transfer to an event that is still open (so in this instance I'd say it's unlikely - GSC will sell out quickly), and they will charge you a transfer fee.

Officially in for the Glass Slipper Challenge! I can update now that I've stopped shaking!

 

[bumbershoot]

10K is back on hold. Back and forth and back again!




On dvcnews.com's FB page... "The official Disney Vacation Club member website has received a facelift."

Just in time to give the DVC princess registration peeps an aneurism, LOL. Nice timing!

 

[Momof2]

What is the CHear Squad?

 

[BriarRose59]

We're in! My daughter and I are in for the 5K and the 10K! Good luck to those on hold!

 

[NicoleLarson]

Is there anyway to change your anticipated min/mile? My friend accidentally chose the wrong one in the haste of getting registered?

I noticed that too! I was glad I signed onto my DVC account early and had time to find where it all moved around to.

Same! The error page for the early registration link didn't help either!

It's a spectator package. Not completely sure what it includes but I'm sure they have info on runDisney.com

I'd call or email runDisney to try to adjust that.

Thank you Ariel! That's good, don't think I could have shelled out anymore mullah, LOL!

Various ways you can get merchandise and places to stand or even sit while watching runners.

Contact them. OR I saw a "change event details" (or something like that) link on my active.com account when I found my princess registrations there, so maybe you can do it there?

 

[BriarRose59]

I still haven't received an email confirmation. I checked on active.com and my registration is there so I guess I shouldn't worry.

 

[ksinglet]

OK - I was more worried about actually getting registered than the merchandise. How do I go back now if I want to look at or purchase goodies?
