Even for the 25th anniversary marathon I didn't register until September 21st. No reason to rush for marathon registration at WDW.
Awesome!! Thank You (again)!! I know it is still somewhat of an unknown, but I also know you would be able to make the best educated guess.You've got it right.
The top table is the Marathon corrals (including Goofy and Dopey). The bottom table is the Half Marathon corrals. The 2:45 HM POT race equivalent corral for the HM is Corral E, which I put an estimated cutoff at 1:14:46 for a converted 10k. Corral D would be a 1:07:59 necessary 10k. Thus, your wife's time of 1:13:36 is most likely in Corral E (or the last POT submittable corral).
As a different example, let's say someone signed up for the Dopey challenge. They have possible POT times of a 10 mile time of 1:23:00, a HM time of 1:58:00, and a M time of 4:45:00. They would use the top table to estimate the corral positions based on converting different race distances to a marathon equivalent.
-Submit the M time of 4:45:00 and the person is likely to end up in Corral D. To move to Corral C, they would need a 4:30:00 M or less. See yellow column "Marathon".
-Submit the HM time of 1:58:00 and the person is likely to end up in Corral C. To move to Corral B, they would need a 1:53:32 HM or less. See blue column "HM -> runDisney?"
-Submit the 10 mile time of 1:23:00 and the person is likely to end up in Corral B. To move to Corral A, they would need a 1:17:44 10 miler or less. See purple column "10 mile -> runDisney?"
The times shown in each box corresponding with each Corral letter represent the cutoff (or necessary time) to gain access to that specific corral. Since a 1:23:00 10 miler is less than 1:24:48, but greater than 1:17:44, then the 10 miler POT puts that runner in Corral B.
Remember these are not definitive but a very reasonable guess. As always, if runDisney changes the corralling system then this above example could easily be different. Based on the registration though, the one thing I am fairly confident of is the last three corrals being as displayed above based on choosing a non-POT corral and estimated finish.
So glad to have a washer with all the stinky running clothes!!!
Great. Now my goal for my Half in September is 1:53:32.You've got it right.

I'm feeling like the 2:07 should be doable except I'm still in injury recovery so we're going to see. Haha. But I have two shots before the PoT window closes.Great. Now my goal for my Half in September is 1:53:32.
As of right now, I would be in E. With my actual goal I have for my September Half I would be in C. But B just sounds better.
