Get Ready To Register For runDisney Events In
Walt Disney World Resort Florida & Disneyland Resort California

Whether you are a returning participant or a first timer, you are part of the running, walking, and rolling family and community! Welcome to our ohana! 

RunDisney has not resumed the former travel agency program and is still requiring all runners to register di rectly through runDisney.com. They have resumed the charity program and more and more charities have been advertising availability of runDisney race registrations- base price plus minimum fundraising requirements. 

What YOU need to do in advance to be prepared for registration day:

• Review the runDisney FAQs; ESPECIALLY the details in the Registration FAQ and Account Management FAQ sections!
• Have your individual runDisney account set up and ready! Have all participant details (listed below) written down and ready! 
• Should your first choice race sell out, it’s a good idea to have a second choice that you can pivot and register for!

Ready to Go! At 10:00 AM Eastern Standard Time (or recently there’s been a 10-15 minute delay), the links on the runDisney.com site will go live, click on the first one that goes live- regardless of which distance it is! You will be put into a random virtual queue with an estimated countdown until your turn to attempt to register. (the times will increase and decrease rapidly so don’t walk away for too long!) 

Tech Tips:

• You can be logged in on multiple devices- although runDisney does not encourage this, it is still a very common practice as it gives you varying wait times to watch which one puts you into the registration first. There is no proven type that works best/fastest. 
• Different browsers - there is no tried and true one that has proven to work best. Each registration day seems to have different quirks and speculations as  to which browser works best, which device works best, which connectivity works best (to wifi or not to wifi, that is the question), etc. 
• That long queue ID at the bottom of your screen can travel across devices- so if you’re on laptop and need to start driving to work, copy and text yourself the ID link! 

Registration Details: 
You can register other participants (minors and adults) during the registration process but you will need ALL of their demographic information:

• Email if over 18 that they have used to set up Disney accounts (under 18 can have the same email address as parent/guardian)
• Date of birth
• Phone number and address 
• Emergency contact and relationship to participant 
• T Shirt size (all adult sizes, Male S-XXL and Female v-neck S-XXL) 
• Any disability accommodations needed to be requested
• Pace and Data Questions:
  • Select pace option that does not require proof of time (for example- over 2 hours 45 minutes for the half)- you can go back in later and modify! 
  • For 5K or 10K pace estimates- pick one and come back later to modify
  • Affinity groups- come back to modify later
  • # of runDisney events- come back to modify later
  • Event weekends participated in- come back to modify later 
  • Same for merchandise- skip it for now and come back into your account later!
• You “should” be able to register for multiple event registrations during your online session (for example, the 5K and the Challenge) and for multiple people. You will register for one race registration, or challenge registration, completely and then register for the next. Once you've registered for all your events you'll then come to a final payment screen. 
• Registrations are not final or guaranteed until payment has processed and you’ve received registration confirmation email!
• Only one method of payment is accepted for a transaction. Have your card info all ready (card number, expiration date, security code, name on card, address linked to card). 
• Again- you are NOT IN UNTIL (1) the payment screen has processed, (2) you get the registration confirmation message on the screen and (3) double check your email and account to ensure it’s there. 
• If you’ve registered someone else, their race will be listed in your account until they get their email, log in to their account and attach their registration.
