Springtime Surprise 2026 (Apr 16-20)

[fatmanatee]

90 percent in for this. Do not have strong feelings at all about the themes but I've struggled to find a good time to visit EU and I'm mathing my way into an excuse to tag this on to a trip. Plus... coast to coast, assuming they bring it back?

The last elite I saw get to hang out away from the crowd and get escorted to the front was Brittany Charboneau during the 2022 Dopey. Most other elites that I know, even people who have competed in the US Olympic trials, don’t get any preferential treatment (even in trying to register). If your bib number is a single digit, you’ll probably be elite.

To be clear, I do not consider myself elite nor would I ever expect Disney to consider me elite haha. I was just curious because I had heard talk of it on here but haven’t seen any elite starts in the couple of races I’ve done.

In other news I just registered for the challenge! Definitely took it down to the wire on that 8pm end to registration!

Good morning, everyone! I'm registering for our first Springtime Surprise weekend today. I'm looking forward to doing something a little different than the princess runs. Hopefully registration goes well today for everyone!

Really hope to get in to the Challenge this time as failed miserably with Princess Weekend... Good luck everyone!

Missed registration for Princess weekend. Not a fan of a late April race, but will try to register

Posting the registration walk-through for anyone who may need it: https://www.disboards.com/posts/63173194/

Note that this doesn't include the new blue splash screen that showed up for Princess registration. If you see that, it supposedly auto-refreshes, but that did NOT happen for many of us. You may want to force refresh in case they haven't fixed that.

Also, to share queueIDs, you need to click on the WORD "queueID" and copy the link that pops up. PLEASE share via DM if you can, otherwise you risk more than one person using a queue and only the first one gets in.

Good luck, everyone!

Good luck everyone!

I'm trying my hardest to be content with doing just the 10-Miler this year. I'm trying to turn this into a friend's trip, and I know my companions don't want me waking them up at 2 for three days straight. Nor heading to bed at 8pm.
But man oh man, is it difficult to not do them all!

Time to fire up all the browsers!

We are trying for the Challenge this year, but a little worried about the heat difference.

looking at the cost, the challenge is $140 more than if I register for the 10k and 10miler as stand alone races. Becoming a ripoff.

I need a quick reminder - what was the key combination for the force refresh on a Windows computer?

The Challenge includes the 5k as well for SS, so it's not too bad

Queue is open via 10 miler!

And if we want the Challenge, but click the currently-open link for the 10-miler then we can pick the Challenge later, right? Want to make sure I don't go down the wrong path at the start. TIA!

Yes - all races use the same link
