    I know they're not really a huge factor in real time sales, but how is Tink faring with the AP/DVC preregistration? Have any of the events sold out yet?

    Yup. We've been tracking Pre-Sales over in the Tink Forum. So far the Pixie Dust Challenge (lasted about 20 minutes), Tinker Bell 10k (in a day), and 4 to 6 year old 200 meter dash (five hours) have sold out their pre-sale spots. Tinker Half Marathon and Never Land 5k are close.

    Will be fun to watch open registration on Tuesday and see if the trend stays the same.

    Well, it wasn't exactly the crazy 'sell out in minutes' that we've been getting used to but Tinker Bell still had a pretty decent opening registration day. Still shocked, however, that the challenge is still open at 8:00 p.m. PST. Also interesting that the Pasta Party is just about sold out as that usually goes right up to the end before hitting capacity - perhaps a lot of families celebrating Mother's Day weekend with a pasta dinner in the park?

    There were a few other runDisney capacity updates as well today to share with everyone.

    Tinker Bell registration is on the move this morning. If you are thinking about any of the events, don't delay much longer!

    And yes, the pasta party sold out faster than everything except for the kids races!

    And as of Day Three for the 2015 Tinker Bell Half Marathon Weekend Registration, there are still available spots in the Tinker Bell Half Marathon, Pixie Dust Challenge (!), and Never Land 5k. The move to May didn't do the race any favors. Imagine if runDisney hadn't added in the challenge...

    We have a bit of movement in registration for Tinker Bell but amazingly (given the resent registration stampedes), four days into registration, there are still spots available in three of the four major events.

    Tinker Bell Half Marathon weekend events continue to slowly move towards capacity. At this time there has been no change in Challenge, a slight up-tick in the half marathon, and a pretty good bump in the 5k. While the 5k is running faster than the 2014 event (which took 1 month, 29 days to sell out), the 2014 Tinker Bell Half Marathon sold out in 2 days. Ah, what a difference changing the date can make!

    Hoo boy. Looks like a lot of people are boycotting the date change with their wallets. Registration looks GREAT until you compare it to their other events. Ouch.

    Yup. It's still beating the 'old days' where it would take months to sell out (the inaugural event in 2012 took 4 months for the half to reach capacity) but compared to the feeding frenzy of the other recent runDisney registrations, it sure seems slow.

    And of course, there is always poor Goofy. 10th anniversary event that's been open for registration since April and it's STILL not even at 90% capacity.

    Another day, another Tinker Bell update. Registration is still plugging along.

    Tinker Bell Half Marathon Weekend
    Tinker Bell Half Marathon - 77%
    Pixie Dust Challenge - 94%
    Never Land 5k -94%

    Speaking of registration, the 2014 Tower of Terror 10-Miler Official Program is now posted and missing from the Save the Date page is Expedition Everest. I'm selfishly hoping we didn't see the end of EE as that is a runDisney event that I haven't yet done but the omitting EE from the guide and with no updates on the runDisney site it's not looking promising.

    Looks like spots in the Tinker Bell Half Marathon Weekend events are edging closer to capacity. The Half took a big jump while the other two events posted small but significant gains.

    Just a reminder (and it's one we haven't had to run in quite awhile) that the second tier price increase for both the Tinker Bell Half Marathon and Pixie Dust Challenge kicks in next Wednesday September 3rd. At that time, the cost for the half goes up $15 to $210 and the cost for the challenge goes up $25 to $345. If either event is still open as of September 24th, the third tier price increase will come in to play.

    The Never Land 5k remains at it's current price until February 28, 2015.

    Looks like the 2015 Never Land 5k has officially SOLD OUT!

    No change in the Tinker Bell Half Marathon or Pixie Dust Challenge capacity.

    I realize in the end that both will sell out, but it's been a while since any of these events have gone to second-tier pricing.

    Pixie Dust just posted SOLD OUT (almost three weeks after opening - imagine that!). The half is now at 88% and unless a BUNCH of Tinkers sign up before EOD today, it will go to second-tier pricing.

    Looks like the Tinker Bell Half Marathon just took another jump - it's up to 92% capacity. Assuming much of that change came in yesterday before the price increased to second-tier pricing.

    There is still room in the half if anyone is still wobbling on signing up!

    One little update today. The Tinker Bell Half Marathon continues it's 'slow' march towards capacity. Remember, we're in tier two pricing - if there are still spots as of 9/24, we will move to the final third pricing tier.

    They're doing a Goofy giveback!!!

    We are excited to announce the "Goofy Giveback." Starting today we are taking a limited number of Goofy registrations, breaking up the challenge and opening up additional individual registrations for the 2015 Walt Disney World Half Marathon and Marathon. Learn more here
    I guess that's one way to get Goofy to sell out - decrease the number of registrations!

    Thanks to Drince88 for discovering the reason behind the WDW Marathon and Half Marathon suddenly gaining open spots! I sure haven't found any announcement on the runDisney WDW Marathon Weekend site referencing the Goofy Give Back.

    And we're about ready to say 'closed' to the Tinker Bell Half Marathon. If you are thinking about doing this event, I would delay registration no further.
