Was looking into that, if you do Rebel Challenge, does that mean you get 2 day park tickets? Or just includes one?

 

[rebapple]

Just a one day but you can upgrade the ticket if you want I think. He upgraded mine to a park hopper for dumbo. I think it only cost a little more.

How do you register through Jim Stone? It is a charity or a travel agency?

Travel agency, do not call today, they are at their Grand daughters graduation. They asked if I could call in the morning.

My friend is registered for the 10K and I for the Rebel Challenge - probably nuts since I have radiation and possibly chemo ahead of me for the next several months but I can always defer - and I need a goal![/QUOTE
Hope you feel up to the 10k, my husband is doing chemo now and is doing his first 10k at disneyland 1month after his last treatment. We looked at this as something to look forward to and a great way to celebrate life. Best wishes for you and your family.

Thank you so much - I really appreciate you sharing your husband's goal with me - this is all very scary so it's so wonderful to know that we are sharing the same goal-I know your husband will do great and you will all have a fabulous magical celebration! My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

What does the travel agency charge? What do you have to book thru them?

Does anyone have feedback on the Desert Palms? Can't swing PP at $350 per night! Thanks.

Search acclaim travel, the price is higher but you get a 1 day 1 park upgradable ticket with each race (rebel challenge counts as one) Ticket Valid 7 day prior to 7 days after event Star Wars Rebel Challenge $ 435 (includes Park Ticket) Star Wars Half $ 305 (includes Park Ticket) Star Wars 10k $215 (includes Park Ticket) Star Wars 5k $180 (includes Park Ticket) Everyone's diff but not having to stress on Tuesday and the park ticket(2 for Rebel and 5k) makes it worth the extra to me.

And they are listed on RunDisney site as an official agent

It's less then 24 hrs before the mad rush, I assumed there would be more chatter on the thread, guess everyone's saving their typing for registration.

Wow, that seems like a pretty good deal. I mean, the rebel challenge is 320. So a park ticket is costing you 115? So, what, 15 above regular cost. Is there anything else, fees?, etc? or is this just one seriously sweet deal?

Thanks!!!

No fees, I am doing Rebel and 5k and it was $615 and 2- 1 park 1 day tickets. They don't have the upgrade prices yet but they said I would get an email about upgrading my tickets to 3 day. She said packet pick up any everything's the same. Doesn't hurt to call and ask some questions.

Wow. thanks!!!

I've used Jim and Pat Stine to get bibs for the Tinker a Bell races, the Avenger races, my sister signed up for the Disneyland 10k and my friend for the wdw marathon. The prices include taxes and the active fees, which the prices on the Disney website do not, so you really come out even- he's not charging extra. I've priced out all of the agents and Acclaim is rare that they don't also make you book hotels and such through them to get the bibs.
I just wanted to add my two cents and jet you know that I have used Acclaim travel multiple times and have always been pleased with the transactions and have no complaints.

 

[fairymum]

I talked to Acclaim and they have rebel Challenge but not sure if he has half only. I am praying he finds a couple, I am bugging out trying to get my sister in law signed up with me. It's our first RunDisney event. This is more stressful than trying to train!

 

[Sleepless Knight]

Thanks so much for the info about Acclaim. I just spoke with Jim and he signed me up for the Rebel Challenge. He did have some slots available for the 1/2 when I talked to him. Very relieved about tomorrow I am.

Def thanks to Rebapple, I had no clue about Acclaim, and seeing that they are an official RunDisney Travel Agent, made it a no brainier for me, I've been wanting to do a Star Wars themed race and go to DL for the first time, I am a worry wart when I know something will sell out fast so I prob wouldn't of got much work done before 12. Now DD wants to do the kids races so that's all I have to sign up for so I'm happy.

Has anyone found the actual active link yet? I try not to go through the rundisney site, since that's where the actual traffic is.

 

[fairymum]
