Hi Marguerite!
I am thrilled to answer your question because I am also running
Disney's Wine and Dine Half Marathon in November! I love the
runDisney races and I run Disney's Wine and Dine Half Marathon every year!
Historically, all of the
Walt Disney World Resort Hotels provide complimentary transportation to and from the runDisney races and Health & Fitness Expo. The
Official Digital Expo & Event Guide, which contains details regarding transportation, has not yet been released. However, there is a strong likelihood that the transportation will be handled similar to last year's event.
All of the Walt Disney World Resort Hotels are wonderful! And I definitely recommend staying at a Walt Disney World Resort Hotel, as it makes getting to and from the races much easier and stress-free. Given that you need to arrive at the start line so early, it's extremely important to have reliable transportation. If you are looking for a great Deluxe Resort, I personally love
Disney's Polynesian Resort. This resort is home to 'Ohana, one of my favorite Disney restaurants, and you will have easy access to
The Grand Floridian Spa! I love to book a post-race massage at this location and enjoy a day of indulgence.
You will also not want to miss the post-race party at EPCOT! You can enjoy the food and drinks from around the World Showcase as part of the
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival!
I hope you have a magical vacation!
Magically,
Stacy
