Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon

[LAKid53]

My wife and I got in for the half but it took forever! This will be our first half - we’re excited and nervous! Can’t wait!

It's a great race with a great party in the evening.

 

[LAKid53]

We seem to have a great crowd building already!!!

We can expand the size of our meetup!

Are you doing SW next month?

Oh yeah. 5-year legacy. My brain says go for 10 years and my body says stop.

Looks like I’m waiting for the 10th (or signing up through a travel agent), was hoping to do 5k and challenge, but only the half remains. After completely unnecessarily counting down the seconds to register for this year’s Star Wars (unless you wanted the magicband), I wasn’t anticipating this much of an issue trying to register within a couple of hours of opening, oh well, c’est la vie!

You'll be OK on the 10th. I've missed out on early W&D a few times.

You can sign up when regular registration opens on the 10th (Tuesday). Just make sure to be ready to go shortly before 10AM.

I think the Villains race theme is pulling people in. I don't remember it selling out in 30 minutes in several years.

So, plenty of rooms available but I have to wait until April 7 for DVC.

Already booked. It's unfortunate you can't swap your contract at HH for one of the properties at WDW.

I'm staying at Rivieria Beach next week before my cruise. I was staying at SSR, but with the renovations their inventory keeps fluctuating, so they called, offered me an upgrade to a one bedroom, so I'll spend the evening before I drive to Port Canaveral riding the Skyliner.

As do I. Kid coming along?

Yup! Got her signed up for the 100m.

Does anyone else think the half marathon medal will be a poison apple or poison apple themed based on the confirmation email?

 

[Rose&Crown]

Really not thrilled with the themes but I’m all signed up for the half.
Still debating Star Wars half....

What’s the easiest way to take my confirmed pre registration WineDineHalf and upgrade to the Challenge? It’s a real consideration.

Call runDisney and hope they will allow you to.

I'm only able to get through registration on my phone but it won't recognize me clicking on "Register & Pay", so frustrating!!!!

That usually means the event is sold out. I noticed registration opened BEFORE 10 AM. I'm still in the "Thank you for your patience" mode. So frustrating. And I started at 9:52 when I saw registration was open.

added my ipad now to the queue

As am I. You'd think rD would have this figured out by now...

I tried calling run disney. The recording said no support agents are able to take your call. Is the race still on?

 

[LAKid53]

Over 40 minutes and I'm STILL waiting.....

Probably busy fielding calls from runners who can't get past "Please be patient".

 

[LAKid53]

Has ANYONE been able to actually register?
