Official Glass Slipper Challenge Thread

[bon2313]

Hello everyone! I have been in the PHM thread for a while, and I didn't even know this was here! This will be my first half, and I am doing the Glass Slipper, plus thinking about the 5K! I may be crazy but I think you have to be a least a little crazy to be a runner!

I want to do the 5k too. I figure what's another 3.1 when you are already doing 19.3.

I know, right? Plus it is Cinderella themed, and I am a Cinderella fanatic!

It's not the 3.1 I'm worried about. It's the third 3am wake-up in a row. After 4 days for the Dopey, I'm going to need a medal anytime I get up for a race at 3am.

You're not the only crazy one because I'm thinking about it too.
And it will be my first 1/2 as well.

Hello all - this will be my first Disney race. I too have a work conflict - should I be worried about not getting a bib if I don't register the first day. Already booked my
Points so don't want to miss out)

It's so hard to say Normally WDW races don't sell out as fast as DL races, so you have that going for you here. BUT, any of them sell faster when it's an anniversary year or, as in this case, there's anything inagural...which will be the 10k and the challenge combo. DDD went CRAZY fast, but there were pre-registration issues with that one that have supposedly been addressed for PHM/GSC. Do you have anyone available that you can give all your regitration info to that would help you out and register for you? PHM didn't sell out last year (an anniversary year) on day 1, but with the GSC this year and the new pink C2C possibility, there's no telling how fast it will go...and I've read that supposedly the corwding issues are being worked on by decreasing the # of spots available...who knows if that's true, but that could be something else working against you. And there will be a pre-sale for DVC this week, so on the official registration day, some spots will already be gone. It's a "limited number" of spots, so no one knows how many, but just something else to think about. Rumors of a DIsney Visa pre-registration are still out there too, but that hasn't been announced or confirmed. I know, so many unknowns...just get to a computer as fast as you can!!!

Is Disney actually pretty good about this? In my opinion their website is shockingly horrible with glitches, crashes "down time" etc. Is there a history of website issues on registration day?

I really want this done with, I'm beginning to lose sleep over it. I have two options for early registration Thursday, do I really need to be this worried that if I am at the computer at noon I won't get in? One minute I've convinced myself to calm down, it will be fine. The next I'm frantic I won't get in. Starting to feel silly about it!?!

Supposedly there's a "limited number" of registration spots open for the pre-reg on Thursday...I would expect them to go pretty fast, but who knows because no one knows what "limited number" is exactly...hundreds? thousands? But, if you don't get in this week, you'll still be able to register on the 11th next week so try to get some sleep!

My guess- all slots will not sell out within hours forearms registration.

Once it's open to general public there's a chance glass slipper could go fast but I really don't think dumbo fast

Ex: you are Dvc or ap and can register on the 6th but can't get to a computer until the 7th. Might you lose a chance at early registration? Yes. But you still have many more slots open on Tuesday! More will be available Tuesday than Thursday

I wouldn't panic just do your best to register as soon as you can. Watch run d on twitter. If its getting full fast they might tweet a warning.

But it won't sell out on June 6. They have limited the slots available that day.

No idea what forearms means up there. Dumb smart phone

is runDisney better/more active on Twitter than they are on FB, email and their own website? I have a twitter account (I think) but seriously have never logged on after I created it and am not following anyone. I may just go and make runDisney my first...

Yes. There is a history of website issues with active.com not necessarily runDisney. If you can't locate the link on runDisney just google for it. For WDW January weekend, it opened about 10 minutes before 12pm. Just refresh, refresh, refresh.

They are better on twitter IMO. You can have the tweets sent by text too

Wondering if anyone can tell me if it makes sense to get the $2 active.com trial membership if there would be any Princess race discounts for being a member?
