I’m torn to register for this or the Star Wars Virtual Half.
Leaning toward Star Wars but you also get a shirt with this one...really not sure the medals are just ok the Ursula one isn’t that bad. Pricing though is high. Not sure what to do.

I’m hoping to maybe do the 10K, but I’m guessing the slots will evaporate instantly.
I can't believe it!!! runDisney listened to me! /sarcasm
I wonder if the percentage of runners deciding to get a full refund was probably more than they anticipated. Or that was their plan all along... Great for those who weren't able to register in March for the on-property races. But still expensive for a virtual, even with a t-shirt and medal.
I believe the SW Virtual Half was about the same price.

That Ursula shirt and medal isn’t too bad either. I think the kronk shirt is better but not a huge fan of the medal. I dig the 10k one the most. Just wondering if Star Wars virtual has the potential to be better.
We never get a shirt, just a medal.

When you register for the Wine and Dine you get a shirt as well as a medal.
If you are talking about Star Wars then I agree.
Star Wars Virtual is 59 dollars
Wine and Dine 10k is 99 dollars
Honestly 40 dollars doesn’t seem too unreasonable for a shirt of good quality. It’s been hard to get runDisney merch.
I just know I’ll be upset if the Star Wars virtual rolls around and has a better medal.
EDIT: Also worth noting that the 5K is 79 dollars so you are roughly paying 20 dollars for a shirt which isn’t a bad deal. They are overpriced though and that is fine.
SW Virtual medals have been great so far.

Have I told you lately that I 👍 you?
Do we still have until the first couple of days of August to get a full refund? I’m signed up for all 3 now and accidentally registered under my old account back during normal sign up. I’m thinking I may try to register for just the Half under my normal runDisney account then opt for refunds on the original sign up, if that would even be an option timing-wise.

I’m starting to think about maybe possibly going for the 10K. On the fence about it we shall see.

I will be taking the refund, so I hope it frees up a spot for someone who really wants to participate. Good luck at registration to all

Same. I kept my 5k registration but asked to refund my challenge bib. I'd like the 10k shirt/medal but not that those prices.

Exactly how I feel. I need some US adress however, upping the cost of any virtual.

Registered for the 10K! It’ll be my first. But I’m panicking about the shirt size. I did women’s medium. I usually wear a medium in regular unisex Disney shirts. Will it be too small?

I also registered for the 10K! Hopefully it is worth it.
Same here concern about the shirt size except in Men’s. Luckily you can change it in your profile.

I can only speak for myself but I always have to go up a size in the women’s shirts.
Good news! I was able to register for the half and the 5k.

I noticed that. Maybe lots of people canceled?

Bah! What to do!? I don’t want a super tight shirt... Maybe large is the better choice?
