Hi Anne, welcome back!
I am so glad you were able to get registered for the Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon! It sold out in just over 24 hours.
If you choose to take advantage of the specially priced resort room rates offered for this event through runDisney, you do forfeit being able to take advantage of any free dining plan offers that may become available through Walt Disney World. The free dining plan offers are generally only available on non-discounted room rates.
I also want to give you an update on a question you asked earlier in the year regarding discounted park tickets, I believe I mentioned that would not be available for 2014. Well, that has changed! For this event runDisney has reintroduced
specially priced theme park tickets with a savings of 30% on a three day park-hopper pass. I wanted to make sure you had updated information!
I hope this helps as you begin planning for the Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend, Anne. As always, please do not hesitate to ask any additional questions you may have.
Cheers!
Faith
