Omg I would LOVE it to goes back to a night race! That’s why I signed up for it as my first HM 2016! #nightowl!
Does this race even sell out the first day? From what I've seen, Princess is the only one you really need to be one top of things the day of registration to get.
Not usually.

I was gonna say the same thing - moving it back to a night race could be a game changer.It has seen a drop off in popularity since it dropped the night race. W&D was the first race I tried to sign up for in 2015 and it sold out in minutes. If it keeps the current cookie cutter format, I wouldn't expect it to go too quickly. If they move it back to a night race or add a similar wrinkle it could go very, very quickly, especially since it's the only RunDisney race weekend that occurs after April now...
I vote IT problems. When in doubt, blame Disney IT... greatest odds of being correct.Well they already have my money. They have dates announced, and themes announced. Other than the courses I am not sure what they could do.
I work in a job that you need to put in time off well in advance as well and I took today and next tuesday off just to register cause I know 10Ks sell out uber fast....I reorganized meetings in order to be in front of a computer at noon today... I was all ready to hand over my money! Oh well, guess we wait and see.
I wouldn’t attest registration being moved back to IT problems. I’ve also heard that it’s not IT related but who knows with Disney.I vote IT problems. When in doubt, blame Disney IT... greatest odds of being correct.
If they end up cancelling or moving, I feel bad for anyone that bought the RunDisney DVC packages
I have a room and challenge registration booked already through a TA. I really hope they don’t move it or cancel either. Disney doesn’t seem to ever want to improve their communication.
I’m not sold on them cancelling but I expect changes to the weekend.Why do we think they would cancel? Based on anything we know?
ITA!Chef Tony seems like a weird fit for Animal Kingdom .... that’s my only takeaways.
ACK!!!!He pulls out what's inside, and he serves it up fried!
W&D was $199 last year, too. That includes the after-party and a $15 gift card. It's still stupid-expensive, but that's why it's more stupid-expensive than marathon weekend, lol!I might have missed this but did the prices go up? I paid $180 for the WDW Marathon in January, and the Wine and Dine Half is $200? Seems odd that I am paying $20 more for half the distance.
They know weather can be crappy during daylight hours too, right?Just as a reminder, inside info told that rD abandoned night races due to insurance issues regarding weather. Given how volatile weather has been since then, I have a hard time believing that has changed.
