When did the half fill up last year?

[liznboys]

I'm not ready to commit yet...need to get going with the Couch to 5K first and see if I really want to do this (I've never run before in my life!) How much time do you think I have before it fills?

Thanks!

I remember reading on disneyrunning.com the 1/2 filled around March 10th.

If you aren't ready to commit before the race closes out there are usually spots available through Anthony Travel. Maybe the Dreams Unlimited guys will get a couple places reserved too.

I used Anthony in 2008 for that very reason and while I like doing my own reservations I had no problem with them or their service.

Yes, as per my website it did fill by 3/10. The only reason why was Disney offered a discount of $15 if signed up by 3/1. No discount this year so would expect it to go back to filling in the Summer. Especially at $120 for only a Half has upset some so may take even longer!

Thanks Robert, your website is the best!!

Glad I could help! Disney's site can be tough to find certain things as way to complex

Thanks Frank, that's good to know there's another possible way to get in.

Thanks Robert....ahhhh, so the discount is what caused the earlier fill last year, that makes sense. I feel a little less pressure now. Thanks!

As I recall, it wasn't so much a discount as a looming price increase. I guess they could still pull something like that, but I hope they won't. I bet there are lots of reasons it won't fill as fast this year.

Good news for you Liz. That gives you a bit more time to get off the couch How is the training coming? I have another friend here that is talking about doing the half as well. If either of you decide to do it, I'm there with you. Go girl

LOL Yep! I told dh the other day as I was sitting on the couch, "see, here I am already on step 1!" Training has not begun still.....I've come down with an awful head cold and I still need to get my shoes! I know, excuses, excuses! Hey, I posted on this board, that must count for something!

I'm in the same boat and was wondering about this, too. Thanks everyone!

Good luck to you! Hey, I just read the TR link in your sig but I see you didn't finish it! Any chance you will?? I need to read lots of "I didn't think I could do it but I did" reports... lol

 

[Sandy321]

OK, I'm so lazy!

I have my notes, and I just uploaded photos to photobucket - so while I'm at the doctor's (my 20 yr old son has appt) I'll go to the library and spend some time updating!!

I could use the diversion, and inspiration!!

 

[liznboys]

Thanks Sandy! I'll keep watch for the update!
