Welcome to planDisney. I’m so happy you ran by with your question today. My wife and kids will be running their first 5k together during the Princess Half Marathon Weekend at the end of the month, and I’ll be happily cheering them on. The runDisney experience is so unique because you get to run around
The Most Magical Place on Earth while taking photos with characters. Now it’s time for us to lace up our running shoes and help you get in on all of the race fun as well.
You can register for runDisney faster than you can run a 5k. Since runDisney is part of The Walt Disney Family of Companies, you can create an account using your My Disney Experience username and password. Once you are on the
runDisney website, hover your cursor over the Help & Support tab at the top of the screen and click the Manage Account button. You can now log in, update, and add all necessary information.
Alrighty, now that you are all registered, the next step is signing up for a race. In my experience, registration typically opens at 10:00 am EST on registration day. I would monitor the runDisney website for the latest information and ensure you are signed up for email alerts. On the day your race registration opens, be sure to log in early and have all of your race info, such as address, shirt size, race choices, and payment information, ready to go. As soon as registration opens, the screen will refresh to register. Click the race you want, and you will be added to the virtual queue. It’s important that you do not refresh your page during this time, as it will automatically refresh when it is your turn to register.
We’re almost to our finish line, and I wanted to leave you with one last tip. If you haven’t already purchased it, I would recommend getting
Memory Maker. Memory Maker lets you get all the amazing Photo Pass pictures taken during the race, especially with all the characters. There is no better way to capture all of these core memories.
Kelly, I hope you have a magical time becoming a part of the runDisney family and have an amazing finish.
See ya real soon,
Robert
