run Disney is not interested in making registration for race events convenient for the people that want to participate.

These aren't park CMs. These are office jobs. They aren't working on the weekend and Disney isn't paying them overtime to do so. Many people work on weekends too. There will always be an inopportune time for someone.

And? CMs work on the weekend. Why not think of those who register for the races...many of whom work during the week?

Rteetz9 days ago

That would require them to work on the weekend then.

LAKid539 days ago

Why not on the weekend?

There was the debacle in April 2022 trying to register for Marathon weekend 2023. Multiple pauses and delays, with uncertain timeframes. Ultimately registration went forward but it was a cluster and most things sold out very quickly. The other thing I remember a big issue with was Oogie Boogie Bash registration a few years ago where the queue ended up paused for hours.

Same here, well I didn't renew this year. But I vaguely remember a weekend where signups for the public didn't happen when they were suppose to and rD did the same thing. The verbiage they've put out was too familiar to me.

Did it? I'm Platinum Club rD, so I get to register early.

Didn't this happen recently for another weekend?

You'd think by now they'd get their IT fixed.... It's been like this ever since runDisney decided to no longer use Active as their registration portal and develop one of their own.
