So what has made W&D so popular? I'm reading that charities and offical travel providers are either sold out or waitlisted. I have never seen such a crazy flurry.

I don't know why it is so popular, but I think it may be because they removed two runs from the WDW line-up without replacing them. The Tower of Terror was a fall event that went away, so I imagine that a lot of those runners switched to the W&D.

The other thing to keep in mind is that even though you should be ready to go before registration time, the 5K during WDW weekend has a lot more spots than the Jingle Jungle 5K and the following month there is a 5K Princess weekend that runs the exact same course. It will still most likely sell out on the first day but not as fast as the Jingle Jungle did.

I just signed up and this will be my first time ever doing the Wine and Dine half. I have done Marathon weekend a few times but the weather tends to be very cold. I am not sure how I will like the night race vs the morning race but I am so excited for the after party that comes along with this race, seems like a blast!

My Wife and I were able to sign up. She did the Princess this year and both of us did the Enchanted 10k. We can not wait.
