Princess Half Marathon Weekend 2027 (Feb 25-Mar 1, 2027)

[1lilspark]

They need to double the number of Bibs...they can so easily handle double and it boggles the mind that they leave so much money on the table.

They are for the 5k for the 26-27 season and it still sold out in less then an hour
I just want a % breakdown of how much inventory goes to GA registration verses perfect/club/charity/hosted creators

With the delay does it double demand?

Judging by how many people apparently took off work to sign up for this it might be easier.

I am in UK so have only just seen the update (5 hour time difference). I finished work early yesterday to try and register for 10k. Next Tuesday I'm on a 13 hour shift so I will either be hiding in the bathroom or will have to miss out completely I have to admit that after months of anticipation, I feel rather deflated today. First world problems I know.

When this happened for Disneyland it was easier on the rescheduled day. I didn’t even plan to register but when it was still open several hours later with no queue FOMO got me and I did.

Do you think it would still be the 10:00 am timeframe once this new date gets posted?

I'd be curious too, but we can make some educated guesses.

Perfect at any given race weekend is only reserved for the challenge(s) and the number drops every year when not all of them register. Judging by numbers they've announced from the stage, that's at most 500-1000 runners in a given weekend.

Club only offers early reg to the top two tiers, and only to the member. Gold gets one race/challenge and Platinum gets two (so you could do challenge + 5K). Most calculations estimate there are a few thousand Club runners total, and not all of them register for or attend every race or weekend.

Hosted creators for races is a super tiny number -- likely low to mid double digits.

Charity is the real question mark, but having investigated it from the nonprofit side, there is a lot of cost and resources involved in managing those, so it's going to be somewhat limited. I'd guess there are more charity runners than Club, maybe 1000-1500 at any given weekend.

So, all told, a high estimate would be in the 2500 range at any race or weekend.

Yes, it will most assuredly be at 10am eastern. I'm betting on next Tuesday.

Still nothing official or on socials. They did say last night that they'd give at least 24 hours notice prior to opening time (so not tomorrow for example). I think it'll be next week on Tuesday. Halloween tickets are fast approaching and we know Disney doesn't like more than one event opening at the same time!

 

[fatmanatee]

New registration date is MONDAY, June 8. Same time.

Of COURSE. I will be in the middle of a conference so doubtful I'll be registering

 

[azrivest]

For those of us that aren't on IG

I also updated the OP

 

[azrivest]

Wow they did update the website as well. I'm impressed.

 

[1lilspark]

Of course the one day I have an opening shift

As someone who was shut out of W&D and MW and now can’t register for Princess I have put my name on a wait list for a springtime charity bib…will I bite the bullet stay tuned

 

[MommyCMickey]

the one day I have to work

 

[prncssjas]

Not running related but princess tangent: I just learned yesterday that Vera Bradley is releasing an Aurora and Jasmine line (finally!!! ) and if you like their stuff for travel, here is your chance!

The IG story said the release is scheduled for this Friday (tomorrow) but I was able to purchase everything this morning. Happy shopping to all who celebrate

Just checked, the RunDisney web site now gives the screen:
"The Wait is Almost Over" with the option of entering the waiting room. Its 6:20 am EST. Why so early? I always wonder how many slots open up at 10:00am to begin the registration process. How many are in the Waiting Room at 9:59.

Just coming to say that, guess 100,000 extra devices waiting around a few hours wasn’t the problem last week. Some days I really do wonder what their process is

 

[emmabelle]

here we go again. I was only hoping for a spot in the 5K because it's a week after my birthday and we usually go then. We'll see.

... and sniffing the network traffic - the event start time is currently listed as noon, not 10am
