That all makes sense. My wallet would be ok with not having shirts/pins/mugs/hats available, but if they made them already maybe they’ll offer them up. Just a wait and see situation.

Decided to cancel race weekend. I was using big DVC points at SSR because of the weekend. I'm going to do a M-Th at Beach Club next month for way fewer points. Maybe do another during Halloween or Christmas. Figure they will at least decorate, maybe some holiday goodies.

Have I told you lately that I 👍 you?
Has anyone that cancelled original registrations seen them removed from their runDisney accounts yet? I received two separate “virtual or refund” emails on 7/23/20 (one for 5k and one for challenge) and responded “refund” to both individually. I signed up for the virtual half marathon alone on 7/30 and received the email everyone else did yesterday with the “virtual or refund” option. [I’m not touching the link on that one either, because with my luck that would probably re-enter me somehow in all my cancelled races all over again again.]
My runDisney account still shows the original 5k and Challenge in my “upcoming races.” But I have not received any new emails about either since I opted for the refund on those. Just worried that they are still listed in my account and do not want to end up $500-600 in the hole for all the original races plus a second half, when I’m trying to minimize to just the one race!
Edit: just got an email about the notices that went out to virtual racers. Still would love it if they would update my original race registrations in my account to cancelled though

I clicked the link just to see what it was. Didn’t make any selection either way. Happy that I will still get my virtual. Really wanted that.

What is the difference in registration?
I would think the race title would change to Virtual, like the Summer Virtual Series.

I only did the virtual 10k. Never registered for the in-person race. Here’s what my registrations look like:
Hopefully, they will update after the deadline to switch or cancel passes.

Original races look like this in mine:
Clicking on them, there is a new notice with Acknowledgment check box and shipping address form. I would guess this is required to opt in and is probably auto updated when people responded that they were switching to the virtual from their email a couple of weeks ago (I assume):
Here’s what my new virtual registration front page link looks like. The only difference between it and normal appears to be that when I click on it, the acknowledgement is checked and address is filled out.

It would probably be pretty easy to do, but they might just not bother.
If I go in to edit the registration it does list as virtual:

RunDisney IT/website management strikes again...they're seriously THE worst

I have no doubt though, they had a bunch of spots. Like more then they are leading on, they definitely sold at least a little.
I’m happy they opened them up, and if they didn’t that is a stupid business move.

Which makes me wonder if they finally wised up and realized by putting silly low limits on the virtual races they were leaving money on the table.

Or...just my opinion...out-priced themselves.

I think it’s probably a combination.
Wonder how anyone who signed up for that run Disney club feels right about now lol

Not yet, but I can confirm the virtual half I replaced the original three races and the $575 for Star Wars from yesterday have both hit my accounts, so I can at least confirm that Disney’s bank accounts are still working, thank goodness!
