Hi there, Christine!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! Visiting the Walt Disney World Resort for the 10th Anniversary of the
Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend sounds like a fabulous plan to me. I've been fortunate enough to participate in this
runDisney event twice and had an absolute blast both times! I thoroughly enjoyed running the course and celebrating my accomplishment at the
after-hours
Post-Race Party at Epcot, showing off my Disney bling! Being able to experience the
Epcot International Food & Wine Festival exclusively for a few hours is such huge plus to participating in this event.
Christine, I know it's sometimes hard to schedule a vacation when planning with a group, and I'm sorry to hear you are having difficulty finding availability at the Walt Disney World Resort. My first tip is to keep checking the
Resort hotel options onsite as cancelations happen all the time as Guests change their plans. Next, I'd look into Walt Disney World Good Neighbor Hotels. These accommodations can range from standard hotel rooms to suites and villas and offer transportation (a nominal fee may apply) to Walt Disney World theme parks. You can check availability on the
Walt Disney World Good Neighbor Hotels website if you are looking for a room-only reservation. If you'd like to book a room and tickets for your group, you can call a Disney Reservation Agent at (407) 939-5249 for assistance.
Thank you for stopping by for help, Christine! Please keep us in mind if you think of anything else as you plan to WINE and DINE your way through Epcot this fall!
Nancy
