There’s no usual time because this is the first time they have waited until the last minute. It was realized during W&D that runner tracking could be used to find your bib number before runDisney sent out expo passes. I have no idea why bibs are such a secret these days but someone somewhere doesn’t want runners to know their numbers until as close to the race as possible
Just have to keep refreshing all day
Thanks for the link, I lost the page and I’ll be surprised if it makes it into the guide right when tracking goes live
I’m not sure why these are delayed… I’d bet on “IT incompetence” or “not wanting to take phone calls from people whining about their corral”I don’t understand the secrecy either. I knew months ahead of time what my corral was for Chicago. I also got my bib and corral weeks in advance for Space Coast. It’s a big help to the runner for planning their morning.
I am! I was wondering if you were nearby when we were all discussing the options last week during the SW debacle and you mentioned driving from Raleigh! I'd say I'll be the one with the Mickey backpack but that will be useless for identification purposes on this flightI am! Are we going to be on the same flight?

This is concerning…Still looking for water stop volunteers.

A friend of mine had the same experience.I am going with IT incompetence. My husband interviewed for a exec level job in IT security for Disney years and years ago. He said no way would he take a job there until they got their heads out of a certain body part
Still looking for water stop volunteers.
I’d just about decided not to bring my own water, but now I’m really rethinking that.You use to get one park ticket for each day you volunteered, which they stopped offering this year. I guess it turns out that not many people want to wake up at 1 am to hand out blue Powerade for 8 hours.
Hopefully this won’t affect the race in any way. What happens if they don’t have enough volunteers? Will we just be without water stops?Still looking for water stop volunteers.

Unless things are TRULY dire I assume they would just have understaffed stations rather than cut them altogether. But I have no idea how short on volunteers they are, or if they’re normally still recruiting at this point.Hopefully this won’t affect the race in any way.

I'm doing Hoop Dee Doo (from the Poly, no less) on Sunday night as well! I've not ever seen it, and I'm really looking forward to it. Best wishes on a swift recovery and a great race!!
No. I suspect we’ll still be looking for them late tonight.Anybody able to receive their Expo Check-in Pass yet?
After rebooking my flight on Wednesday due to work obligations, I'm now arriving after the Expo closes. This is my first MW (Dopey) so I'm not sure what my options are. I have seen some posts indicate an emergency bib pickup option, but there is nothing official I can find. Does anyone have any guidance?
I’m not worrying about it just yet. That chance of rain is basically a coin toss and unless there is lightning, they won‘t cancel. I‘m bringing a poncho in case it rains in the corrals then if it rains on course, no big deal. I love a rain run especially if it’s that warm.What are people thinking about the Wednesday overnight/Thursday morning forecast? Some forecasts showing thunder storms...some showing nothing......
Really hoping the 5K doesn't get cancelled...
They'll do everything they can to hold the race. They've delayed starts before and the 5k has, by far, the most room for adjusting the time of any of the races. As long as it's not a sustained front with lightning for hours like the 2017 half, there shouldn't be an issue.What are people thinking about the Wednesday overnight/Thursday morning forecast?

Reducing the park ticket benefit was an incredibly dumb idea.Still looking for water stop volunteers.
