Official Dopey 2018 Thread

[courtneybeth]

Anyone else feeling a bit motivated by all the people signing up?! I like this enthusiasm!

 

[jmasgat]

Just signed up. Oh my God.......

 

[bellrae]

Sooo, I just signed up for my first Dopey. As soon as I hit the button my first thought was "what did I just do?!?".

It's okay - we're all in this together...

My second thought? send the confirmation to my running coach so she realises she is also in for a big year!

 

[dburg30]

Well that escalated quickly lol.... Redemption... here I come!!!!

 

[Baloo in MI]

Set for third Dopey. But even cooler, I got my DD09 signed up for her first runDisney race. We will get to run the 5K together!

I signed up for Dopey when early registration opened a couple weeks ago. I did it with RunDisney over the phone, and have been furiously checking my email for the Active registration link. Patience is not my strong point. Anyway, this will be my second Dopey, and the "what are you doing?!?!" hasn't hit me yet. Probably will sometime in the next few months.

That was awesome. I always have a lot of anxiety about registration day although this is our first year as AP's but this early access link took care of that.

In my 5th Dopey!!!

So excited!

 

[BigEeyore]

In for Dopey #2!! Yay for early registration!

I didn't get the email and did participate this year (well tried... I was a half runner only and took the gift card) is it okay to use the link if you didn't specifically get the email? I'm a rule follower, but I would love to avoid the stress of registration day!

Yes you can use it. @Keels had an explanation on another thread for why not everyone got the email. I don't remember the specifics but something where the email servers start blocking mass emails like that one.

Said this in another thread, but I am running the half with our local rD group this year, not the Dopey. Maybe in another year, but it just didn't work with the things that the rest of the group wanted to do this weekend.

Funny note - they are starting to call me Forrest Gump in town. I am from Alabama and now have a whole bunch of people running through our streets with me. The group grows and grows, hence the moniker.

Just signed up for Dopey... I've been talking about it for so long that I can't believe I'm fully committed to it now! I'm excited and nervous and I don't know what else... Now I just have to get the final check by the doctor, return to real running soon (I got approved to run on the elliptical), and then I can reach all my running goals!

 

[asheleycs]

Welp, I registered for Dopey. What have I done???

 

[Mickey Momma]

I can't ever remember...can I add pin bundles and such later or only during my initial registration?

I'm pretty sure you can add them later on. I seem to remember doing that before.

 

[Mickey Momma]

I'm in. Can't say my $10 savings made much of a dent in that overall total. Freaking out just a bit.

Off to research some POT races...

 

[DisneyRay]

Do any people from this board get together to run the races together? Just wondering if groups develop around expected race times. Part of the fun of these races for me will be the whole Disney experience and I think it would be much more fun to share it with someone while it is happening. I am trying to get people I know but so far either people can't/won't commit 11 months in advance and others think i am, well, Dopey.

@DopeyBadger puts together a spreadsheet with people's corrals and planned running pace. You could use that information to find someone to run with.

 

[Dave Rolen]

Dopey is now sold out.

Just kidding, but imagine if it does before regular registration even starts, lol

After a minor heart attack. I'm registered for Dopey

Many kudos for posting the link and may Magic Dust continually sprinkle on your year!

That thought usually comes around August or September lol
