Welcome to planDisney, Ellie!
Like you, I'm at Walt Disney World Resort for
Springtime Surprise Weekend, and there's nothing quite like the energy and excitement that fills the air during a
runDisney race weekend. I always love seeing the runners proudly sport their medals and hearing the symphony of 'Congratulations!' that follows them through the theme parks.
Although the race weekend has officially begun, there's still plenty of time to visit the
runDisney Health & Fitness Expo at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. The expo will be open Friday, April 4, from 12 to 7 PM and Saturday, April 5, from 11 AM to 3 PM. Disney Resort hotels (including
Disney's Pop Century Resort) conveniently provide a complimentary bus service to reach the expo, which begins 30 minutes before the expo's opening each day. You'll typically find signage in each Resort hotel's lobby with additional details about the Resort's race weekend transportation. At Pop Century, you'll want to look for the Special Events Bus Stop. If you have trouble locating the bus stop, Cast Members will be more than happy to answer your questions and point you in the right direction.
If you haven't yet, be sure to check out the
Springtime Surprise Digital Expo & Event Guide. It's filled with helpful information, including event-specific details, race courses, spectator information, and even digital offers.
I hope this information helps you plan, Ellie, and that every weekend mile is truly magic!
Sending a virtual high-five your way,
Lizzie
