Hi Kim!
Thanks for coming back to see us here on the Disney Parks Moms Panel! I’m excited to see you’ll be making a return visit to the Walt Disney World Resort. January is a great time for a visit, and
Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend is extra exciting. Whether you are running a 5K or a full marathon, this weekend offers something for everyone.
My family always looks forward to
runDisney Health & Fitness Expos. Of course, we can’t wait to see what the race shirt designs are for the year, but we also enjoy simply walking the booths and shopping, and fun photo opportunities. The Expo truly gets us pumped up for our races. Shopping the official
race merchandise is always our first stop, a visit to the Sparkle Skirts and Raw Threads booths are a must-do for me, and my husband likes to check out all the latest running gadgets.
While things are always subject to change, when we were there for Star Wars Rival Run Weekend this past April, there was bus transportation between
Disney Springs and the Expo. When the Official Event Guide is published, probably in late December, there should be official transportation times listed, but this spring, buses began at 10:30 am and went until evening on the first two nights of the Expo, and then until 4 pm on Saturday.
I hope your training is off to a good start, Kim! Please let us know what other questions we can help you with as you plan your
runDisney adventure!
