I would like to but it will all depend on work and I won’t know for a few more months. I also can’t go to Marathon weekend in 2019 so this could be my #runICOT/#cheerICOT event. 👍
Congratulations! What distance will you be racing? Others have made some wonderful suggestions. I also recommend running a few local races while you are training. This will give you experience running under race conditions and will help you prepare for the craziness of a Disney race. And be sure to train well. (It can be misery to race under-trained; as an older runner who has only been running since 2011, I know.) Also, please check with your doctor before staring any new training program.
Best of luck to you! You will have a great time! I’ve done many runDisney events so please let me know if you have any questions.
I actually asked them first - apparently doing this takes having
a lot of people signing up, and this was a service they are working
towards. There is a run disney facebook group and I ended up
going through them. This is the first time their associated travel
agency got approved to pre purchase bibs. Now what I just typed
may be more complicated then that - I really recommend if you can
to go through a travel agency (ie I cannot for marathon weekend because
I stay at SOG, and if are DVC you can’t), only because
your bib becomes transferable and RunDisney gives no refunds
and you legally cannot transfer your bib on your own.
So, according to the Disney website...
Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend presented by MISFIT™
Event Dates: November 1 to 4, 2018
Early registration has been postponed until March 12, 2018 and general registration begins on March 13, 2018.
Wow only one day early registration.

My hope is to do the 5K. I'm not able to purchase yet and I know that they sell out quickly! If I don't get a bib, our hope is to come and cheer if I don't get a spot to run and then sign up for maybe the princess.....
Thanks so much for the encouragement! I'll let you know when I have questions!
If you are going to stay at least two nights in a resort
room - I would suggest going through a travel agency.
If you are AP or DVC holders there are TA’s that will only
charge for room and bibs. I was able to get pop century
for $110 a night thru the TA I used. I now do not have to
worry about my bib AND an added plus is if something happens
I can transfer my bibs. Just something to think about if it
could work for you.
DH and I had a long discussion. We probably won't run. But we are going to train anyway. It's a lot of money and I have a recurring knee problem and haven't actually RUN in a long time- been doing strength and cardio workouts- so we don't know how it will hold up. Plus, my mom can't commit yet on whether she is able to come, so we may not have someone to watch DD. We are leaving the option option to change our minds if things work out, so if it doesn't sell out right away or if we can get in on a charity bib down the line we still may.
FYI - from the RunDisney Facebook page - registration has been delayed to later this week.

Registration for Disney’s Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend is temporarily delayed. We will have an update on registration later this week, so please check back then. We apologize for the inconvenience and look forward to hosting our runners for the race at Walt Disney World Resort from November 1-4, 2018.
All these postponements are making me lose my excitement. :(

Well, sadly this takes me out of participating. I will not have access to internet during the new registration date - on a plane traveling to a conference. I suppose I could do the travel agent thing, but honestly my initial excitement has really waned. I do want to get back to Disney some year for another race, but just not this year for me. There's an outside chance I could come down to cheer, but unlikely. Bummer!
I am beyond happy that the courses for the
5 and 10K are the same as last year which
equals FANTASTIC in my eyes!!! 5K you get
to run through Pandora at night and 10K,
You start at MK parking, get heartbreak on-ramp
at the 3K mark, then onto Hollywood studios,
Boardwalk, and then into EPCOT. This year I will
stop and take a selfie with the Haunted Mansion
Guy! Have regretted not taking one since last
year!!
Bring it on!
Nikki, that stinks! I know how you feel, however. Could you at least check as soon as you have internet in the hopes it hasn't sold out?
I'm gonna be honest in saying I was kind of hoping for an ICOT 20 (2.0). ;) It would be super cool to see everyone again in such a short span (so to speak).
