Wow. Surprised to hear that about the Anabella. We really like that hotel to. My go-to off-site hotel for races has been Stovalls Best Western. It's a Best Western, so you get what you think. Parking is a mess and $10/night extra, but it's usually a good rate and a close walk to the corrals.
Was this for tink because they may have fixed the issue. Secuity was right in front of where the booths are for grand cal parking. Therefore, we could literally walk into corrals and no longer had to walk to downtown disney and back
I think there are a couple of factors contributing to the slower sell out. First off, this is the first year that everybody knows that runDisney has two Star Wars themed races. I wonder how many runners signed up for the first 2 Star Wars races because they were the only Star Wars races. Now that the Dark Side 1/2 is known, that may mean some runners are choosing just one. Second, and this is a good thing, I think the price point and number of events runDisney offers means that most runners who want to sign up can get in.This does seem so weird as the past two years everyone sold out much much faster.

When the 24 hour race sellouts began, runDisney offered a lot fewer races than they do currently. But now both Disneyland and WDW offer 4 race weekends a year.
Question: if it's already sold out after AP/DVC members, does that mean it's completely sold out for open registration? For example 10k and kids races are sold out, so there's no chance at open registration?
@Sleepless Knight if I don't get in the old fashioned way next Tuesday, I'm definitely going to look at travel agents!
Something to consider for the Paradise Pier - yes the corrals were directly in front of the hotel but due to the change in security procedures in 2016, we were walked to the family reunion area (clearing security at Downtown Disney) and then back out to the corrals. We walked over a mile to end back right were we started when we left the hotel, practically. So it's close, but not like you can just leave the doors and go into the corrals.
Anyone have and idea of what the commemorative items are for Light Side? Last year they had a hat, tumbler, magnet package. Was wondering if they do that again.....
