    Springtime Surprise Weekend 2024 (April 18-21)

    The Champion race shirts were better quality and better cut. The race-included shirts were always good quality Champion double dry fabric with raglan cut sleeves (better for runners' arm movements). Their current cut is cheap. And it's inconsistent: at Wine and Dine a few years ago, my...

    Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend (Oct. 31-Nov. 3, 2024)

    Now that the registration melee is over, I went back and checked out the merch. For once I actually like the women's jacket! Has anyone ordered the women's weekend jacket for a recent race, and can you comment on sizing? I haven't bought a runDisney race jacket in years, the last time I did...

    Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend (Oct. 31-Nov. 3, 2024)

    My "over an hour" finally dropped and I was able to get in for the 5k and challenge. I had one other good queue that I shared via DM, but otherwise all were not moving! I don't think anything's sold out yet, but I think runDisney slowed registration way down or maybe even paused it to fix...

    Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend (Oct. 31-Nov. 3, 2024)

    Still at over an hour here on all my browsers also. Will take any under an hour links! This is SUPER fun.

    Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend (Oct. 31-Nov. 3, 2024)

    I intended to skip this race weekend, especially since the themes the last few years have not been to my liking. But Swedish Chef! And Chef Mickey returns!! Finally! 🥳 As a muppets / Swedish chef fan, and as a person of very Swedish heritage, this 5k is calling me. And then may as well stick...

    Springtime Surprise Weekend 2024 (April 18-21)

    On Delta one has to book specific fare types (Main Cabin or higher, I believe) in order to be able to cancel and get a full e-credit for the original booking. It costs a little more but it's usually reasonable and provides peace of mind, since I'm never afraid to just go ahead and book a flight...

    Springtime Surprise Weekend 2024 (April 18-21)

    I booked my flight a while back when prices were quite high because I had some expiring Delta e-credits. I live 20 minutes from a Delta hub (DTW) so I always fly Delta. Just rebooked for $279 which is almost exactly half my original price! Direct Delta flights, I depart a few hours later, but...

    Disneyland Halloween Half Marathon Weekend 2024

    Well that’s super interesting. Livonia’s a half hour or less from my home! And I received all my Disneyland virtual medals several days ago.

    Marathon Weekend 2024

    Yeah, and it takes a while before people opting out actually affects their bottom line, if ever. Though resort bookings are soft for 2024, per one well-known Disney podcast. Could be many reasons for it, but it's interesting. I've cancelled a few Disney trips myself recently. The theme park 7am...

    Marathon Weekend 2024

    This! Running through the parks is a big selling point!! I don't do these races to just run near the parks. Nor to run in/out of the parks early with as minimal a footprint as possible. I pay for the PARKS moments, and I like a grand, theme park-based, last mile+ finale! Reducing or...

    Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend 2023 (Nov. 2-5, 2023)

    Congrats to all runners!! So happy for everyone who participated! I was not at this race this year but it's been one of my favorites in the past. That said, it's sad to hear about some of the operational issues and changes this year. I also didn't realize there's new runDisney management...

    Springtime Surprise Weekend 2024 (April 18-21)

    I also think it's just timing and specific to Springtime Surprise. Presumably this particular weekend timing is chosen to fill resort occupancy in the gap not covered by spring breaks, Easter, and summer breaks. It follows that these races would sell more slowly because the pool of people able...

    Springtime Surprise Weekend 2024 (April 18-21)

    Update: I heard back from runDisney, and I am indeed confirmed for the Challenge. They re-sent the confirmation email and it has arrived in my inbox. Yay! And whew, that's a relief, since the Challenge is sold out now!

    Springtime Surprise Weekend 2024 (April 18-21)

    Well, I hope I'm in for the Challenge, despite not getting the confirmation email (still). I did get a "thank you, you're in!" confirmation screen, a confirmation number on-screen, a charge on my credit card, an email confirming my waiver signature, and my registration is showing up in my...

    Springtime Surprise Weekend 2024 (April 18-21)

    I am in for the Challenge! Hoping to make this trip work after multiple previous trip cancellations. I didn't get a registration confirmation email yet... but I did sign my waiver and got a waiver-signed confirmation email. So that's odd. The registration is showing up in my runDisney...
