Correct me if im wrong! * AS a 1/2 Marathon Runner you automatically get tickets for the after party right?? *

The Tickets they are selling are just for spectators and what not??

It looks like the host resorts have been updated as well

You are correct. Your race entry includes admission to the after party.

Anyone know what the park ticket discounts are? I tried to get in but that site wasn't working either. First 1/2 here I come!

I was able to register for the half-marathon without issue, but it is possible I beat the rush.

In answer to an earlier question, yes, you can order pins, though I do not know about ordering pins separately. I ordered one along with my race registration no problem.

I went back to order the after party tickets (which isn't working) and you do have the option of ordering the "extras" separately.

Figs!! Where are you my friend?????

I'm right here Pluto!!!

I was off doing my registration.... now sadly, I have to go back to my real job....

Nice to see the host resort expansion, but now I have to figure out another decision! I also hope it doesn't mean they are anticipating so many more runners...

But UGH! Animal Kingdom lodge isn't a race hotel anymore! We had priced out DVC points and such.... back to the drawing board

Maybe we'll stay at SSR or Beach Club Villas. Or HOPEFULLY I can convince my wife that we stay at Poly a few nights on the race price and then move to another resort. She hates changing resorts...but we're planning to be there 9 nights so maybe that'll make it feel not so bad.

We're considering making a trip out for this race and my Mom's birthday.

I'm wondering - does the runDisney room discount apply only for race weekend, or would it apply to the entire stay if we stayed an extra couple of days? And could we get a discount for park tickets for more than 3 days, too? Just trying to figure out our options.

Discounted tickets are good for two weeks around the event. (Not sure if it is two week before and after or one week on either side.) But you can get more than 3 day tickets.
