2025 Springtime Surprise Registration Tips & 2025 Marathon Weekend Medal Reveal

[@TheSpanishClassroom]

Love you channel. Thanks for the info. I love all the medals - this will be my first Dopey❤. Good luck in CA😊

[@mannyrunsdisney]

Thank you very much! I look forward to seeing you at Dopey!

[@barrysmith5143]

Gee, kind of hard to imagine that the Goofy medal won't have some moving part or other gimmick, but it does look good in any event.

[@mannyrunsdisney]

Not for sure but we should be able to see them soon.

[@jonathansadventures1577]

I’m very excited for Dopey!!

[@mannyrunsdisney]

@@jonathansadventures1577 the medals look so cool!

[@Scott25368]

Hopefully they have the medals to see during the Wine and Dine weekend! as long as the registration is not a disaster like last time it'll be great.

[@mannyrunsdisney]

They usually have what they have released. At this pace they will probably have DL, Princess and maybe SS. Create a Magical Run!

Would you be able to provide a video with tips for the expo prior to the race for first timers (WDW)? I heard about a virtual queue but that is for merchandise only or also to pick up your bib? Is earlier the better or as long as you get there the day before your race you’re OK? Is it better to drive or take Disney transportation. Thanks again for your tips!

[@mannyrunsdisney]

Hello there! I like that idea. I do a video at every expo and I do go over the expo when I go over the Digital Event Guide but a video for the expo is a great idea. But here is a start. VQ is only for the merchandise. You only need it the first day of the expo. To pick up your bib, you need your Check In Pass or just take you ID and look it up before entering the bib pick up area. If you are just picking up your bib, you can go late in the day. There may be less lines if you want to see anything at the expo but they do close at whatever time is stated. I would take Disney transportation. That puts the burden on them. Only way I would take my vehicle is if I wanted to get there a little earlier or if I want to go somewhere right after instead of going back to my hotel. Please feel free to keep asking questions and create a Magical Run!

This is my first time doing the Disney runs and I was wondering if we get swept on the course, do we still get out medals?

[@mannyrunsdisney]

Hello there and welcome! If you get swept, you will get the medal of whatever run you are doing, but you won’t get the challenge medal if it’s the last day. I really hope you make it. Create a Magical Run!

@@mannyrunsdisney awesome. Thank you! I'm so excited but I definitely think I have plenty of time to get my 10k and 10 miles in by springtime. Thank you for this channel. It's been amazing and so helpful. This will be my first EVER Disney run.

@@samanthayoho4813 Thank you! Please feel free to keep asking questions. You are going to have a Magical time at Springtime Surprise.

I create a "Notepad" file with all important things (name, address, CC#, etc) so that all I have to do is copy-and-paste. This saves the headache of potential typos and wasting time.

[@mannyrunsdisney]

That is an excellent idea!

[@monicaaa9661]

I think on the Goofy medal, the Goofy Challenge logo slides side to side.

[@mannyrunsdisney]

@@monicaaa9661 that is possible. Recently, they have these medals that do surprising things.

[@monicaaa9661]

@@mannyrunsdisney I’m also hoping to see them in person at Disneyland Halloween 🤞🏼

[@mannyrunsdisney]

@@monicaaa9661 they should be there on the expo floor.

How do you pre-order merch adter you complete registration? I tried in the past but can never seem to find a way to do it.

[@mannyrunsdisney]

Hello there and excellent question. You will need to login to your account. Once you do that, there will be tabs on the top. One will read, Buy Products. Click on that. You will only be able to buy for races you have signed up for. Let me know if this works for you.
