Still no email for me...
You have to be right - just got my email.I wouldn't be surprised if RunDisney uses the cheapest email service available lol. We talk about this all the time at work since we send out a newsletter, and you have to pay a lot more to have your email blasts sent to everyone at once. Depending on the service you use, it can take up to several days for everyone to receive their email.
Me too!!Just checked my email again for today and the gift card email is there from Disney Gift Card Services (not even in spam)
True - I do bulk emails for work using Constant Contact and they take hours to reach all of our subscribers. And our list is probably less than 1/4 of rD's.I wouldn't be surprised if RunDisney uses the cheapest email service available lol.

I think we can agree that last name/event isn't how they are going about this.
I just read on Facebook that messing up the names is a common thing..."seems to be a database issue, its not a registration problem. Name on your bib will be okay." How this person knows all of this, I have no idea. My name was correct..??Just got my email, but it had a wrong name on it...I sure hope my registration isn't messed up! Last name starting with H & running the 1/2; signed up through a charity.
See above post! They're making a mistake at some point...you could be on to something.Perhaps they are doing them slightly differently if it includes a unique bar code. It may take longer to integrate the database. Especially if they are doing it manually. <EEK>
I'd prefer them sticking to what they used to do, giving us a physical giftcard at packet pick-up...but whatever!
If it ain't broke, Disney will try to "improve" it.

When we all know it was done to save $$$$And claim that it was all done "in response to Guest feedback"
#SneakyKeelsNew Runner Tracking page for W&D this year (replaces the Xacte page from last year/previous races):
http://track.rtrt.me/e/WDW-wd-2016
Obviously, there's nothing here to see just yet. BUT - this page did not exist yesterday, so there may be hope for bibs and such soon! I'll keep poking around.
