I sure hope they show some love to those of us that signed up for the Club and have been patiently waiting.....
I assume club will get early registration like AP/DVC

in all honesty (and jealousy) I would hope they would at least offer some first serve options for people who had their races canceled 2 weeks before the dang race - like we did for the Star Wars weekend right after the start of pandemic. And they canceled the weekend completely on us...sigh.I assume club will get early registration like AP/DVC
As @azrivest notes in the Princess thread (and edit to add I didn't see @CP3uhoh also said this a few posts up):

January 6th through January 12th was the Marathon Weekend 2021 dates. Wednesday to Tuesday the following week (Castaway Challenge 5k was 1/12)
February 18th through February 21st were the Princess Weekend 2021 dates. Thursday to Sunday.
My guess is that the dates listed with these images from 2022 are simply carry-overs and may not be representative of the actual dates. But it's all just speculation.
I highly doubt that. I also believe the dates are just carryovers and the fact that it says Thursday, etc in words is just a by product of the numerical date and some algorithm extracting the Word date from that.....assuming that's what you are speculating about. Basically I think a dumb computer script got Thursday because the date said the 6th, and the 6th was last years date. Basically they changed the year but never bothered changing the day to correspond yet...they are working on it still.I don't think that's an unreasonable inference, but the days match the dates - meaning, in 2022, Jan. 6 is a Thursday, whereas in 2021 it was a Wednesday. Just changing the dates to 2022 wouldn't change the days, too.
My instinct is that, if I had to guess, they've shifted everything a day later. Meaning:
Thurs., Jan. 6 - Expo
Fri, Jan. 7 - 5K
Sat., Jan. 8 - 10K
Sun., Jan. 9 - Half marathon
Mon., Jan. 10 - Full marathon
However, I can't figure out the last few days. I suspect the last day - Weds - is supposed to be for the Castaway Cay challenge, but the only currently listed cruises that will get you on Castaway Cay within a day or two of the weekend leave on Monday, making the marathon unlikely (unless you keep running after your 26.2 on to your reserved and waiting shuttle to Port Canaveral). There could be one that's not showing up as it's already sold out, but that's what I'm seeing.

If I were to take a stab at it, I’d say it’s code that auto populates the day of the week based on the date. So they changed 2021 to 2022, and then in auto changed the day of the week from Wednesday to Thursday. But I’m just spitballing here.
It’s also entirely possible the dates are correct. But the Princess Weekend dates make me suspicious given that is President’s Weekend and the HM would be on Monday, Presidents Day.
Either way, it looks like we will know soon-ish.

Hi guys! New to this page but not to RunDisney
So excited by this development! Just a thought on the graphic, it has 6 characters when I think they used to only use 5? Daisy seems to be a new addition…
I think Daisy was on some of last years virtual half materials with DonaldHi guys! New to this page but not to RunDisney

So folks, your thinking is that this is a hint towards in person from Jan 2022?
And no chance of W and D in early November?
I'm asking because I'll soon have to make a call on whether to book flights, and i may not bother if no W and D is forthcoming.
(And obv the US needs to start letting people from Europe back in as well)
If you’re booking with a fully refundable deposit, yes. If 2022 brings us live runDisney races I think the demand is going to be incredibly high and rooms will book very quickly. I booked a room with DVC points for a hopeful marathon weekend back in February. I’d rather be sure to have a room when the news drops! I’m not sure but I think runDisney has a link to book “packages” with them on their website, but I’ve never done it and I don’t think it saves you much over other general offers they might have available. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong! Fingers crossed for your first runDisney race!I'm seriously interested in the 2022 5k. This would be my first rundisney event. Would it be a good idea to book a room for this suspected week? Or does Disney release special packages that coincide with the events?
