Hey there, Christine!
A warm welcome to planDisney and thank you for racing over with a fantastic
Walt Disney World Resort vacation planning question.
Oh boy! It sounds like you're hoping to participate in the
2025 runDisney Springtime Surprise Weekend. Get ready for an unforgettable trip filled with excitement and energy! I'd be happy to help you gear up for an epic race weekend.
Christine, runDisney Springtime Surprise Weekend is one of my favorite race weekends offered at The Most Magical Place on Earth. It's always an exciting reveal when the themes of each race are announced - and 2025 is going to be nothing short of
heroic! In my experience, registering for a runDisney event is half the battle, Christine. These experiences are incredibly popular and many events tend to sell out very quickly, so I encourage you to have things prepared in advance in order to be successful during registration! Here are my personal tips for runDisney race weekend registration:
- Registration is scheduled to open at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on August 27, 2024. Before that time, take some time to jot down the following in a note on your computer so that you can quickly copy and paste the details for each registrant into the registration form: Home address; Date of birth; Emergency contact name, relationship, and contact number; Shirt size; Payment card information.
- Around 15 minutes before registration opens, log into your MyDisney account on the runDisney website. To do this, click the "Help & Support" tab, then "Manage Account." Enter your credentials and you'll be directed to your Dashboard. In the same browser, return to the runDisney homepage. You will remain logged in.
- Before 10:00 a.m., visit the event-specific webpage. You'll be directed to the Weekend Overview tab for the event, which will depict each event as a tile. The tiles may say "Registration Opening Soon." Refresh this page regularly until the text turns into a button that says "Register Now."
Once you've clicked the button to register, you'll be entered into a virtual queue with other hopeful participants. You'll probably see a timer with an estimated wait time, so pack your patience for this part! When it's your time to enter the registration process, fire up those fast fingers and enter your details as quickly and carefully as possible. Remember, you aren't registered until you've received an email confirmation after checkout.
Christine, I hope you've found this information helpful and I wish you a successful and stress-free registration experience! Enjoy the training process and every magical moment of your race weekend at the Walt Disney World Resort. runDisney race-cations are very special, and I'm excited you'll have the chance to experience one in the coming months! In the meantime, if you have any additional questions about runDisney or the Walt Disney World Resort, in general, you're always welcome to revisit us here at

Wishing you miles of magic,
Lauren
