Overview
- runDisney failed to open general registration as scheduled on Tuesday, June 2, and issued multiple updates before apologizing and saying registration would not take place that day.
- Organizers announced the new general-registration date as Monday, June 8 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time and promised at least 24 hours’ notice before future openings.
- runDisney has not given an official reason for the outage and reporters and commentators have pointed to likely backend or technical problems without confirmation.
- The delay compounds planning problems for runners because Princess Weekend entries often sell out fast, which can force last-minute or costlier choices for flights, hotels and group travel.
- The 2027 Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend remains scheduled for Feb. 25–Mar. 1 at Walt Disney World and includes a 5K, 10K, half marathon, the Fairy Tale Challenge and yoga, with Club runDisney members having had earlier access beginning May 26.
