    Thank goodness... I'm doing the Half with a friend, and am honestly not a big fan of last year's design. I really enjoyed the first four years' design much better. I hope they return to something more like that.

    Yeah, given the 'wow' that was the Disneyland 5th anniversary medal and the WDW 20th anniversary medal I was expecting a similar 'wow' for Princess. Didn't really get it.

    Let's start the morning with a capacity update, shall we? Looks like the Enchanted 10k took a BIG registration jump last night and is now at 75% capacity. I don't expect this one to last through the end of the week so if you are in the market for a 10k run and/or an inaugural 10k medal, don't delay in signing up!

    Gees, ya blink and look what happens! The Enchanted 10k just jumped to 84% capacity. Can you say 'selling out fast'?

    And the Princess Half just moved to 55% capacity as well.

    Registration seems to be moving on a slower schedule today but it's still moving! As of 1:00 p.m. PST, the Enchanted 10k just moved to 88% and the Princess Half Marathon is up to 58% capacity.

    Good job at 'knowing yourself' Lani!
    I still don't get why they don't move the Tink a little farther away from the Marathon weekend - - it's not like it won't sell out immediately if it's not a 3-day weekend for some people.

    I'm with you. But I guess if they moved it to February then it would be too close to Princess.

    Actually, Year One of Tinker was a week later in January which gave everyone a two week window to recover after WDW but runDisney moved it up a week because of a LARGE convention in Anaheim that pretty much has dibs on the last weekend in January. And Princess used to be the first weekend in March but they bumped it up into February so we would miss the Flower and Garden Festival.

    After a slow day, both the Princess Half and Enchanted 10k registration numbers are moving again. As of this morning, the Princess Half is at 61% and the Enchanted 10k is now over 92% capacity! While registration has slowed down, it is still heading towards an early sellout. If you want to earn that inaugural Enchanted 10k medal (and yes, they almost alway say inaugural which makes them extremely unique), don't delay too much longer!

    And just like that, registration for the Enchanted 10k hit 99% capacity overnight! If you are not already signed up to join in the fun, don't delay any longer as it will be sold out before we know it!

    Ladies and gentlemen, the clock has finally struck midnight. As of 2:00 p.m. PST, the inaugural Enchanted 10k is officially SOLD OUT! There is still room in the Princess Half Marathon as well as Cinderella's Royal Family 5k if you would like to participate in the Disney Princess Half Marathon weekend.

    How about a quick capacity update while you wait for Tinker Bell registration to open? We have a WDW Marathon (95%) and Goofy Challenge (85%) update as well as the Princess Half Marathon which took a BIG jump from 80% to 87%! No movement on either the Happy Haunted 5k Trail Run or Mickey's Jingle Jungle 5k. Will be very interesting to watch the numbers for the Never Land 5k given the move to Friday and the challenges that move is causing many who expected to participate in 2014.

    Just a final reminder that registration for the 2014 Tinker Bell Half Marathon Weekend of Events opens tomorrow July 9th @ 9:00 a.m. PST / 12:00 p.m. PST! If you have not yet had a chance to register, and given the interest in the inaugural Tinker Bell 10k event (and the pre-sales for AP and DVC), I would recommend if possible being online at the opening bell to ensure your spot.

    You can follow the Tinker Bell registration updates here!

    As of 9:55 a.m. PST/ 12:55 p.m. EST, we have the first movement on the board. The Tinker Bell half is at 53% capacity.

    As of 12:08 p.m. PST / 3:08 p.m. EST, registration for the Tinker Bell half is now at 64% capacity. No sign yet of the 10k or 5k. Definately a different reaction that what most of us were expecting this morning!

    As of 1:41 p.m. PST / 4:41 p.m. EST, registration for the Tinker Bell half is now at 73% capacity. The 10k and 5k are still MIA.

    Well, we've had a busy registration day today!

    Tinker Bell half marathon capacity has jumped to 95%. Tinker Bell 10k is now on the board at 51%. Never Land 5k is sitting at 61%. And if you are thinking about putting the kiddies into the Kids Races they are already at 74% capacity!

    And Tinker wasn't the only movement today. The Happy Haunted 5k Trail Run has jumped to 83% capacity and Mickey's Jingle Jungle 5k is now at 78%.

    Yup. Another record sellout! If you look at the numbers:

    Inaugural Tinker Bell Half Marathon - 2012 - sold out in 4 months
    2nd annual Tinker Bell Half Marathon - 2013 - sold out in 1 month
    3rd annual Tinker Ball Half Marathon - 2014 - sold out in 3 days (plus pre-opening during Princess registration as well as AP/DVC/etc)

    Also take note that the kiddie races are also on a record pace and are at 81% this morning!

    No updates on the Tinker 10k or Never Land 5k.

    Sorry. Should have been more specific. No changes from yesterday for the 10k and 5k.

    If you have a little one that would love to earn his or her first runDisney in Disneyland next January, don't delay in registration!

    For those of you with kiddies, registration for the 2014 Tinker Bell Kids Races is filling up quickly. We're now at 96% capacity.
