Hey there!

Episode 2 just dropped, and this one's important if you're planning to register for ANY runDisney race in 2026-2027.

Here's what you'll learn in this video:

✅ Breaking news: runDisney just expanded 5K capacity for all four race weekends (great news for beginners and families!)

✅ Complete race calendar: Every race weekend, every registration date for Wine & Dine, Marathon Weekend, Princess, and Springtime Surprise

✅ My registration strategy: Multiple devices, exact timing, what to have ready, and what to do if races sell out

The urgent part: Wine & Dine registration opens February 10th (public) - that's less than three weeks away. If you want to run that race, you need to be ready NOW.

Speaking of being ready - if you haven't grabbed it yet, I put together a complete runDisney Registration Day Checklist that walks you through everything step-by-step.

It covers:

  • What to do 1-2 weeks before registration

  • Minute-by-minute strategy for registration morning

  • How to use multiple devices effectively

  • What to do if your race sells out

  • Payment strategies (including how to save with Disney gift cards)


This is the same checklist I use every time I register. Don't wing registration day - races can sell out in under an hour.


What's Next

Coming next week:

  • Episode 3: What I'm Actually Packing for Disneyland Half Marathon (Thursday)

  • I'm heading to California on Wednesday, January 28 for race weekend

  • If I get to 50 YouTube subscribers in time, I’ll be going LIVE from the Disneyland Half Marathon Expo on Thursday, Jan 29!

If you're registered for any 2026-2027 races, hit reply and let me know which one! I'd love to hear what you're training for.

Let's figure this out together - and I'll see you at the finish line.
