Avengers Super Heroes Half Marathon Weekend - November 14-16, 2014

[Tiggerdog]

That's my birthday weekend! I love the Advengers! I have to do this. So much for being done with the halfs. LOL

Hey, it's my Cake Day weekend as well so I'm trying to convince my DH we should go for the Coast to Coast! Right now he's having none of it, the stinker that he is.

Does anyone know if there will be early registration for annual passholders for this one?

Not sure why there wouldn't be. All the races seem to offer early registration to AP holders, DVC members and Disney Visa cardholders now.

AP registration opens tomorrow morning pacific time!

[clausjo]

Is that just for DL AP holders? I'm not seeing anything at all on the WDW AP site. I want to try to register early if possible since I think this is going to sell out pretty fast.

In sitting on the DL AP site armed and ready for registration to open!!

I also checked the wdw ap site, and while they mention early registration for Disneyland and Tink, there is no mention of avengers. ???

[clausjo]

I know, this is what worries me!

I only have a WDW Annual Pass. Here's hoping it's up soon!

Good luck to everyone registering for Avengers.

AP holders, you need to be ready to the minute it opens up, just the same as with regular registration. From my personal experience with AP registering for Disneyland Half, they only release a limited amount of AP registrations. Last time, I waited until after work thinking I would be ok, and got shut out of the AP early registration...so we had to register when it opened up for everyone.

It all ended well, my husband and I took off work and he brought home his laptop and we were on two computers able to get our regstrations for Dumbo and the kids registered for the 10K. Scary, though.

Yall just don't take anything for granted and be ready to sign up as soon as it opens.

I am sure for the members posting on this thread, this info is widely known, but there may be some (like me) who may assume that the early registration will not fill as fast as the regular, but it will.

I'm in!! Avengers 5K! (Can't do the half because I have to work medical tent )

But to get to race any distance as Thor makes me so happy!! (For those who don't know, my 5# Maltese puppy is baked Thor!! )

(**Also, if you are a DVC member, use your code to get your discount on registration!!! I was able to get $10 knocked off)

Good luck all!

Yay! I know you are glad to have that done. It is always so stressful. I get anxious just thinking about it!

It is up now. Good luck!

I'm in! For both the half and the 5K. The 5K is on my birthday so I had to sign up for it!

Christine, I was doing the same! Ready with both sites just in case. I was also checking regularly since 6am. I didn't want to take any chances that it would open early. LOL! Can't wait to see you!

Run Disney is tweeting that the early AP registration closed at 9:35 am PST.

whoa.

[clausjo]

Got in for the half but the WDW AP site says that early registration for the 5K is closed.

Now I just need to wait until next week to register me and the kids for the 5K.

This is very stressful!

Crazy! Early registration spots for 5K filled within one hour!
I know it is stressful! It's crazy! Glad you got your 1/2 and good luck for the 5K!

[badkitty]

It looks like the half is still open on both AP sites. I don't know about DVC. They must have really lowered the number of participants for the early 5K registration? Seems like record time for a 5K!

Sorry you didn't get the 5K. Will you be able to have multiple computers going to sign up next week? It might help to be sure you all get in rather than doing one at a time.

That's a good idea. My kids are on break next week so maybe all 3 of us can log in right when it opens.

sorry I gave wrong info, it was the 5K that closed...

That's probably one of the craziest things i have read in a while. (Not your words, just the planning needed to sign up for a 5K!) Totally necessary but just insane that it IS necessary. RunDisney has struck gold!
