Were you able to get in this morning? I thought I was fast-selling race registration hardened by all my Disney sign up experiences. After all, I got into the Star Wars Rebel Challenge - which sold out in around 9 minutes for annual passholders (28 minutes for general public) but I think the 2015 Sea Wheeze went even faster. If you didn't get onto the site by 10:05 am you seemed to get stuck in waiting room hell and messages like this started popping up around 10:17 am:
However, if you didn't take no for an answer and kept refreshing you may have met with success when people's registration slots timed out (which is not really how a waiting room should have worked). I read a number of reports of people persistently hitting refresh that were able to sign up around 10:20, 10:27, 10:30 ish.
The sold out banner went up around 10:35 am this morning.
My sister and I were able to maintain our legacy status and will be going for a four-peat on the Sea Wheeze. I lucked out and got in right away without having to hang out in the waiting room - I got my confirmation email at 10:02 am. My sister had to wait a couple of minutes in the waiting room but successfully registered. However, we were really sweating registering my niece. Both my sister and I got stuck in the waiting room and never got out. A very nice friend was able to register my niece for us (thanks, Ms. N.!) so she is set for her third Sea Wheeze. We also made sure to book our hotel rooms since we knew the Sea Wheeze partner hotels would go fast. Except for flights, I am good to go again for 2016.
All in all, it was a stressfully exhilarating morning (or maybe more like exhilaratingly stressful). (Crossing my fingers for a legacy registration program for 2016. ;-) )
Were you able to successfully register?
