Marathon Weekend 2025

[GollyGadget]

yes. but if i'm reading Billy's post correctly, it will then replace the queue ID on that device.

I think if you keep both tabs open, both stay active.

Good luck everyone! This process is always so nerve-wracking!

What’s everyone’s thought on what will sell out first?/rank my priorities. I need 1 dopey, 2 1/2 marathons, 2 10ks and 1 5k.

Here are the last three years sell out rates:

How to register 2 people?
Our priority is DH getting the marathon, so i want to register him completely with payment, then i want to register myself for marathon if available, but I'll take 10k or half of i have to.
We will skip merchandise for now.
anyone know how to go from complete payment for DH to registering an mother person?

M has recently taken about 60-90 min and virtually everyone who was ready at time of registration was able to get in if they wanted it. My advice is to plan to do both the M registration and whatever other one you want 10k/HM. It takes more time to register, pay, re-click, do second registration, then pay, then it does just to do both at the same time. The real time suck is getting into the registration itself. That process can take 0-50 min for most people. Actually typing everything in is usually less than 5 min as long as you skip the unnecessary things:

After choosing a race distance, you will be prompted to fill in the following general information. Alright, this is the important part. The name of the game with runDisney registration is speed. The registration process does not hold a spot for you after you selected your race distance above. You don't actually have a confirmed spot until after you've completed the payment process. So whether you're registering a single person, or multiple people, or multiple distances for a single person, nothing is confirmed until you pay. So with that being said, it's important to point out the uneditable registration items. The ONLY things you can not change after registration are EMAIL ADDRESS, NAME, DATE OF BIRTH, and then GENDER (in that order). Everything else can be edited after the confirmation of your purchase. With that being said, you CAN NOT skip any question. You must put an answer on every question. So just put whatever is the fastest choice, and then MOVE ON. Speed. Speed. Speed.

*I believe address was recently greyed out as well, but I'm sure runDisney could change that one easily.

The last few sign ups my husband got all the information in, but when he went to pay it wouldn’t let him past where it asked for a promo code. It wouldn’t let him pay. Could it be that it was sold out? Hoping 3 is the charm

There are some known glitches that occur randomly with some of the questions. So very rarely people will get hung up on those glitches and can't register. So if someone on the DIS hasn't mentioned a sell out yet, then you're encountering a glitch. Try registering through a different link, or playing around with the non-essential answers that can be edited later.

Is the "waiting room" open yet? I don't see any links to anything.

Good luck everyone! I’m going to have to RUN after this is over to burn off the adrenaline I think!

So you can open a shared queue ID in the same browser that you have already used to enter the queue? i.e. a browser that has already been assigned it's own queue ID?

To clarify, if I open a queue on Safari on an iPad, phone, and computer. The iPad Safari has the best wait time. I share it with myself via email to my computer. I open the Safari iPad link on my computer. I will now have two active Safari browsers with unique IDs on my computer and both will continue to count down as normal. The link on my iPad is still active as well. I can now register faster on my computer via the iPad link.

Ugh! My stomach is in knots! Trying to manage 3 devices is tough!

 

[GollyGadget]

I've got my browsers ready! I don't know why I'm so nervous

I hear you. Need that Pepto handy. LOL

FYI, after registration make sure to go back and edit the things you just selected random things on. POT locks July 1st, 2024, and t-shirt size has been recently locking about 16-21 weeks prior to the event.

All set and ready to go!
