Ok I just added a jacket as why the heck not

I have to say it was pretty smooth I my end. I think generally they have gotten alot better with the process.

I'm tempted to do the same... would really like to SEE IT and have a sense of fit, though...

Do we know if this is a standard style that others might be able to speak to from other races??

This is the sizing chart they have for the WDW marathon. I don't know why it only provides the women's chart when you click the sizing chart link. I really hate buying expensive stuff like this without getting to try it on first for fit. And no returns or exchanges!

I thought you could return preorder jackets? Not sure about exchanging for a different size though.

I think I'm writing this more for myself as reference for next year when I don't remember how quickly everything went! LOL!

You could return them last year.

Haven't done this myself but like others, I have heard you can return the jackets. Make sure to bring a printout of your order.

I have also heard you can do this with the Disney Dooneys - I have heard of people returning the pre-ordered bags and then re-buying them right there on the spot to apply an Annual Pass or Disney Visa discount (haven't heard of anyone trying this with the jacket, but it's worth a shot!). Wish I'd known that trick! Definitely going to try that in the future.

How long do you think it will be before the half sells out, rundisney is saying its at 62%....I might set myself the dare that if its not sold out in a week, I'm signing up for it. I'm signed up for the 10k and that would be my first half marathon.

If the avengers and Tinkerbell pattern follow suit, then it won't be sold out until much later

Aaaaand... now the RC is showing SOLD OUT. That's everything except the 1/2.

 

[MickeyMinnieMom]

Does anyone know anything about why there's no Wookie Welcome Party this year? Still bummed about that...

Is it crazy to hope they add it later??

Hmmm....I'm kind of excited....and nervous now

 

[VAfamily1998]

Has anyone seen that "check and see if I'm registered" link? Thanks

 

[drlaurafsu]

Ooooh....think I must get training shirts! I don't like to prebuy the I did it shirts. Just a thing for me I guess. But training shirts work. Think I will get DS8 on for the 5k too.

Congrats to everyone who got in!!

I think at least part of it is b/c of the DL party not selling out. For that one, you get more lands and rides plus a special viewing of the Paint the Night Parade combined w/ the 10th and 60th anniversaries and when I got my tix last week it was still at 55%. So I think they're worried about the loss of income from having Tomorrowland closed for less people than a sellout when they could have it open and make more from nonparty people sales especially if they have merch from the new movie.

Forgive my ignorance... What DL party are you taking about? I've been strictly a WDW person for years...
