i fear that they will limit all entries if the open....this is not gonna be pretty.
I agree with the trending, and I hope you are right - my Travel Agent is saying that it is highly unlikely that there will be travel/bib packages or charity bibs available. The latter would surprise me because the entire purpose of the marathons (well one purpose) is to help charities. But that's just me being pessimistic probably - I hope I get into Dopey.I don‘t know. Things seem to be trending back towards “normal” at a rapid rate. Starting to see announcements that NFL stadiums plan to operate at 100% capacity in the upcoming season.

In just the last 24 hours I've gotten numerous emails from indoor- and large-scale attendance institutions letting me know they're opening at 100% capacity (MLB stadium, outdoor concert amphitheater, etc.). Again, we have no insight as to the appetite Disney corporate has in putting these events on*, but CDC guidance, contemporaries in the running industry, and other external hurdles are on an "all systems go" trend.I don‘t know.

ding dang!!! That sucks! Uggh, I love that program - it helps me avoid heart attacks.For what it’s worth, a travel agent told me back in fall 2020 that it was likely runDisney would be discontinuing the TA travel/bib program. I can see how those bibs might add to the logistical complications of registration data. That said, I really hope that isn’t true and the program isn’t going away because I loved it!
same here...I'm really nervous - actually super scared at this point to be honest.All this makes me really nervous. I booked with TA only to increase my chances in getting a bib...
With potentially reduced capacity and pent-up demand, getting a bib on regular registration day will be awful!! (I'm going for the fairy tale challenge)
I feel like it's possible (likely even?) that the first race or two will be "limited" simply by the challenges of international travel. Meaning, even if they don't reduce capacity, there may be fewer people trying to register? I haven't kept up with restrictions and hurdles for international travelers traveling to the US, though, so maybe that's no longer an issue?
Flying to the US is not an issue. The main concerns now are what restrictions are in place when you return. Here in the UAE, aside from showing a negative PCR test to board the return flight, there are no other restrictions when returning from the US. Places like England, on the other hand, still have quarantine and self-isolation requirements in place.
