Official 2017 Star Wars - Light Side Half Marathon Weekend (Jan 12th - 15th, 2017)

No, you can't. It has to be activated. And getting an AP doesn't guarantee you a spot in early registration, just gives you an additional chance to sign up.

Thanks, that's what I thought. I know there's no guarantee, but thought it would be great to have two chances rather than one (plus a reason to take another DL trip within a year!).

How is it going for everyone? We're a month away from registration!

I ran my first 10K (training, that is) this past Sunday. Was definitely sore afterwards, but was glad to finally reach that mileage. I did go all out for the run. I normally run intervals, but decided to run the first two miles straight. Decided to take an extra day off to let my body recuperate. But overall running has been going well. DH & I run together maybe once or twice a week, so that's been nice.

My bank account is not ready for the next three months of registrations coming up.

BUT, I am feeling very confident about getting into the challenge. I am ready to run 19.2.

That was last year for me!

I'm super glad I only have to pay for Rebel Challenge this year and not Glass Slipper, especially since there are two of registering.

And I'm super glad DD decided not to do the 10K this year so I don't have to pay for that one, just RC for me and kids races for DS!

AP reg is this coming Tuesday or no?

AP reg is this coming Tuesday or no?

According to the DVC site - registration is Tuesday.

Seems they haven't been posting much or anything about it though. Still have my time blocked out around lunch though!

Thanks! We're gonna be in DL that day so I'm signing myself up for the RC through a travel agent but I still need to get online and try to get DS in for the kids races.

I have been planning on just the half for Light Side, but my running buddy just told me, no, challenge! So, looks like Disney will get all my money so I can get all the bling. Won't do the 5K though. This complicates matters regarding my oldest son's birthday (which is the weekend of the race), but hopefully he'll forgive me. I'll just make him pumpkin pie before I leave! LOL! Hoping to do Dark Side as well and get the Kessel Run medal! This will be my first west coast race, despite being from L.A. Planning to go spend a few days with my parents after the race weekend before heading back to the East Coast. Nervous, as always, for AP registration next week. But my poor bank account is not looking forward to registering for both light and dark side in a few months time.

Thanks for the heads up! I was just going to check this morning! My wallet is crying

Reminder that tomorrow is AP/DVC registration!

Let the nerves commence!

Ugh, I just got called in for an 11:30 meeting (boss didn't bother to ask for staff availability), so I'm hoping I can register today...

 

[courtneybeth]

I'm ready to go - husband and I are deciding to run the 10K only. We looked at some finances and decided that we'd rather do a few more travel races this year than just runDisney so ... no challenge and coast to coast for Kessel this year. Just the 10K. Signed in and ready to go!

 

[Kathymford]

I'm just doing the 10k too. Trying to budget in other races this year too! Good luck everyone!

 

[lovingeire]

Signed in to active, runDisney passholder page loaded to refresh, credit card out. I'm ready to register for Rebel Challenge, although my bank account is crying at the price!

 

[Mimsy Borogove]

Same here! The meeting is apparently postponed because boss is on another call. So I went into DND mode and shut my office door!

Good luck, everyone - may your fingers fly!

 

[courtneybeth]

Good luck to everyone else - we're just about 10 minutes away!

I am worried about the 10K - hoping more people go for the Rebel Challenge than anything.

Links are up, but not clicking through to an active page yet. Good luck everyone!
