Registration tips?

[cbman]

I'm planning on registering for my first RunDisney event in a couple days (the ToT 10 Miler). Does anyone have any tips to make the registration process go more smoothly?

I don't think this run historically sells out as quickly as some of the other races, but I don't want to take any chances. We gave the trip to our daughter as a birthday present this past September and we've been on a family fitness quest to get ready ever since, so I really don't want to miss out.

Any registration tips would be much appreciated.

Shouldn't be a big deal, but if you want, you could sign up for active.com in advance. Then when you go to register through the Disney link, it will ask if you have an account. Plug in your ID and password and it will pre-populate fields for you.

Also, if you have a proof of time that you want to submit to improve your corral placement, have those details ready.

Finally, decide now if you want any commemorative items (looks like pin or necklace). In the past, pins just looked like the medals, so not too unique. Don't know about the rest.

Good luck on registering for your first Disney race!

Congrats and good luck!! always good to be early. even it doesn't sell out as fast as others, getting a race date on your calendar helps make your goal concrete!

also, agree with proof of time. i submitted mine too late for Goofy and ended up in the last corral. still an awesome time though.

enjoy!

I just wanted to note that the official race pins for each of the past two Tower of Terror pins were unique from the race medal, and not the same thing, though the race medal clone pins do seem to be available at the expo, from what I recall. For example, I just searched online and found the following blog - I have no relation to the blog or have any idea whose it is - but two pins from 2012 are shown on this site.

The one a little bit down on the left with the stupid Stitch on it is the official race pin; the one on the right with the medal is just another pin available at the expo. 2013 was similar, I believe.

FYI.

(PS - Here is the official Disney blog with merchandise for 2013. Again, the official 10-Miler race pin is the one with the stupid Stitch on it, though the 'race medal' one was also available - http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/bl...walt-disney-world-resort-on-october-4-5-2013/).

Thanks for the links for 2013 Merchandise i hope than have some new items. Any one know if they will ever change the medal design.
