Springtime Surprise Weekend (April 13-16, 2023)

Who did you contact to fix your name? When I registered my son and husband for the 10k I had their names correctly entered, but when I autofilled the address, it changed the name to mine for both.

I emailed RunDisney via the address on their website got the wrong birth year on both this AND wine & dine issue resolved as well

Same! I’ve already ordered something for the 10 Miler that is not Toy Story, and have something in mind for the 5K that is not Cars. I should probably try to focus on Princess outfits before Springtime though

I'm doing Princess and decided on a Pixar character for the 5K , not Merida though she is a favorite character.

If I was

Yes..... I'm leaning to doing something Pixar each race though not necessarily the IPs 'hosting' the race

Great, DD might go as Buzz for the 10k. Not the right IP but she want something fast

I will probably try to stick with each the themes. Nemo can be used anywhere as well.

Anyone else get emailed from RunDisney to answer more questions so they could get to know you AKA click on your registration to answer the standard “optics” questions

Yeah I got that today too. I had previously received one for princess too. I think it's smart to streamline registration day.

we tried to get into the spring event last week on the day of registration. Got all the way through registering everyone in my family and when I went to pay it told me it was sold out. Was on 15 minutes and in the que before registration was open. We were disappointed we didn't get in. Is there a trick to getting in before it sells out? Also, is there a chance we could still register if there are cancellations? Thanks for any advise!

@DopeyBadger I don’t know when it happened, but the challenge has sold out

I assume you’re talking about the 5k, since that was the only race that sold out quickly? Anyway, this is a fairly new queue system they’re using where it doesn’t matter when you enter, you’re sorted randomly at 10:00. The one popular trick people like to use here is loading the queue on different browser windows and hoping that one has a quicker path to registration than the others.

As for cancellations, there’s no such thing when it comes to RD races but spots occasionally become available, sometimes bc charity bibs haven’t sold or the challenge hasn’t sold out so they break up the races in the hopes that they sell out individually (in this case the challenge already sold out). There’s no rhyme or reason to when those bibs pop up, but if someone here sees it happening they’ll post about it.

I really have no idea what to wear for a CARS theme. I found a couple t-shirts that may be ok but I was hoping to do more than just t-shirts.

Some of the skirt makers (dottie, enchantedathleticsco, etc) have done a checkered flag skirt.

10 miler is open at 10:30am and has been for several minutes at least

I don't believe the 10 miler has sold out yet

 

[Naomeri]

According to the historical sell-out thread, you are correct

My bad. Thought it had. I went to check dates so I could start planning potential trips for next season and saw that one and, very briefly, the 2 course challenge for W&D. Thought I just happened to catch it when they were releasing bibs.

This is breaking my heart! I've been watching for W&D to open back up.
