If you were planning to register for the 2027 Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend this morning, you ran into some trouble. runDisney confirmed that registration, originally scheduled to open at 10 AM ET, was delayed. An update was promised at 10:30 AM ET.
runDisney registration openings have become increasingly high-traffic events, with popular race weekends selling out in minutes. The Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend is one of the most popular events on the runDisney calendar, drawing tens of thousands of runners to Walt Disney World each February. Delays on opening day are not uncommon given the volume of traffic the registration system experiences.
What Is The Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend?
The Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend takes place each February at Walt Disney World and features a variety of race distances, from a 5K and 10K to a half marathon and the Glass Slipper Challenge, which combines the 10K and half marathon. The courses wind through Disney Parks and resort property, with Disney characters stationed along the route and at the finish line. Costumes are encouraged and are a huge part of what makes the event so beloved among participants.
Tips For Registration Day
For runners hoping to snag a bib, a few things help on days like this. Log in to your runDisney account ahead of time, join the virtual queue as early as the system allows, and have your race selections and payment information ready to go before you reach the front of the line. Popular distances like the half marathon and the Glass Slipper Challenge tend to sell out first, so know your backup choice in advance. And when delays like this morning’s happen, resist the urge to refresh repeatedly, as that can bounce you out of the queue entirely.
