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?

Rteetz6 days ago

That would require them to work on the weekend then.

LAKid536 days ago

Why not on the weekend?

I remember that now.

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?

Here's the latest update from runDisney: To our runDisney family, we know today didn’t go as planned, and we appreciate everyone who has been waiting with us. We are still working to finalize a new registration date and time for the Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend. You may notice some changes on the website this evening, but registration has not started. We want to reassure everyone that we will communicate the new date and time at least 24 hours before registration opens. We don’t have those details to share just yet, and registration won't take place this week. We’ll share another update by 8:00 PM ET tomorrow evening on runDisney social accounts. We appreciate your patience and continued excitement for race 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.
