Themes and registration dates are up!

https://www.rundisney.com/events/disneyworld/wine-and-dine-half-marathon-weekend/

I’m not totally feeling the themes - seems kinda all over the place. And they really love using the US for the Half, don’t they? 😂 But of course I can’t stay away and I’ll be signing up, lol!

I agree it seems all over the place but I kinda excited about that. Unique themes you really don’t see that often.

5K - Coco
10K - Raya
Half Marathon - Soul??? (they say America themed)
Challenge - Aladdin/Genie

Have I told you lately that I 👍 you?

Yep, I think you’ve got the themes right, it says celebrating American music for the half, so I think Soul fits that. The challenge mentioned going around the world, which I think may be a vague reference to “A Whole New World.”

I think I’m with @Figment82 on the themes. I was considering cutting back to two weekends next year, so this might nudge me toward Marathon Weekend and Springtime Surprise to fill those (*subject to FOMO-based change, of course 😁).

Check the virtual tab, we have the actual themes there along with art work which might I add is very nice.

5K - Miguel (as Skeleton)
10K - Raya and Sisu (weakest piece in my opinion but still nice)
Half - Joe Gardner (looks like the Soul poster but with a black background and multicolored piano keys)
Challenge - Genie (reminds me of the Genie + artwork)

Thank you @surfsupdon for pointing out the Harmonious tie-in. That's the ONLY thing that makes sense with the themes. Although Genie is still so random. 3 new Disney movies and....Genie? Unless they're not-so-subtly pushing Genie/Genie+ ;)

Wait...is Raya part of Harmonious??

Maybe it’s because Genie is my favorite classic Disney character, I’m excited about what these medals could look like.

General registration question: Hypothetically, if I were to run these in person.

Since the challenge for Springtime already includes the 5K, I didn’t have to worry about registering for the 5K separately. I want to prioritize the challenge since it has two races but I also want to get into the 5K. Which should I register for first? Or just do both as fast as possible and hope for the best?

This is all hypothetically speaking of course.

5k 1st, then challenge. You should be able to "add on" the challenge with your 5k registration vs starting all over. Someone else can explain it better than me I'm sure.

POT has changed from 2 to 2:15 - that's good?
A step in the right direction!

Also, it appears that the corrals will have staggered times of arrival which may alleviate some wait time for the later corrals.

I think it’s definitely better - allows a few more people to be correctly sorted into an earlier corral. Honestly, I wish the POT time range was even wider, but maybe I’m still bitter about running a sub-2:45 right before they changed it to 2:30 (back in 2020). 😂

Just gonna mention this before someone thinks Disney jacked up the prices: The fees now INCLUDE the 6.6% fee....so even though it looks a lot more expensive, the actual price increase isn't that bad.
