Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend - November 7-8, 2014

[Yungbuck73]

Hmmm, we'll be there that week, We plan on arriving around noon on the 8th so we could do it.
I'll have to run it by the rest of the group. Sounds like it would be loads of fun.

You should def do it. We had SOOOO much fun marathon weekend.

I'm bummed I don't think I can get over to FL in November. With the DLR meet up in October, a trip to Hawai'i (big island!) and the new DL races the next weekend, I don't think my dog and finances will allow it. I will miss you all!

Ok, I'm officially an addict. Dawn and I are gonna come down for the 5K. I cant seem to log in from DVC so I guess I'm going to have to wait for regular registration. Will there be a DVC discount for the 5K after registration opens to general public?

Yay Justin!

[tinksmom02]

It's official, my friend and I just registered! I'm having difficulty accessing the online store for discount ticket information, though--I keep getting a message that the code I'm entering is invalid.

And I have an email out to Terrisue about a room, the trip is actually coming together!!

[Melanie]

Don't forget to use your Disney Visa discount if you have the card! $43.10 total for the 5K. Love!

I forgot to mention that this worked! Of course, I ordered 2 pins, so my total was a little more, but it was almost like I got one of the pins for free.

I'm getting a little freaked out that I haven't received the confirmation email for my youngest son yet. I really hate Active's website. It is not user friendly at all. I can't find anywhere that lists what races you are signed up for.

I was all logged in and ready to go, and when noon came, it wouldn't let me do anything. And it only lists the Color Run I did last year, and the upcoming one I'm doing this year, under my events, not the rD one. I'm new to all this, though, so who knows.

Can you tell I'm so excited?????

My MIL is having a hard time right now signing up. It's inevitably busy.

Where do you even see the races you've done? I can't find that section at all.

I do see that all the charges have hit my credit card, so hopefully that last confirmation will come through soon.

There's a little triangle next to my name when I'm logged into the Active site. There's a "My Events" option there. I've only used Active for the color runs and now rD, and I'm the captain for the color run events, I don't know if that makes a difference.

[AgentC]

None of mine come up under my Active account but when I go back into the register form and click "check if I'm registered", I come up under the name search.

Strangely enough when I click the link in my confirmation it says I'm not authorized to view the registration.

Active makes things waaaaaay to hard.

Exactly why they lost the Marine Corps Marathon account.

That did it, Cindy! Thank you! I've never noticed that choice way on down at the bottom before.

We're all there, and I even checked on my in-laws who are running as well. Fun! I'm excited.

I'm going to wait a bit to purchase our After Party tickets, unless I see that they are selling out.

[disneymom15]

Both of us are registered and they did take the DVC discount.

What is the DVC discount amount!

The whole family is running the 5K?

I didn't register for the After Party yet either. Is it worth the cost?

James isn't running the 5K, but the rest of us are.

The after party is a must for us, and main reason we are staying at the Boardwalk. James's admission is included in his half registration. We had a great time when we did it the inaugural year. The boys and I went over to Epcot as soon as it opened for the party guests, and had so much fun in a very uncrowded WS. It got quite congested when the runners started pouring in, but that first year the party was only in WS. They learned a lesson from that, and since then they've opened the whole park.

One difference this year is that we'll probably find a place on the route to cheer. We'll see.

Oops, sorry, just realized the 5K run is at 7am.

Do they keep International Gateway open that late for guests staying at boardwalk?

[Melanie]

Yes, they do.

[Mr. Smee]

This is getting to be very very tempting.
