Hi Aime, and welcome to planDisney! It sounds like you’re channeling your inner Merida and heading to Disney World for this week’s Disney Princess 5k. I just love the energy and fun of a
runDisney race and would be happy to help with your question.
While there aren’t any public showers in or around EPCOT, let’s discuss a couple of alternative options! One of my favorite post-race activities is a spa visit. And the Dolphin Hotel’s
Mandara Spa is the practically perfect place to relax on an
EPCOT day (it’s a short walk from the International Gateway entrance, between the U.K. and France pavilions). Spa treatments include access to relaxation areas and shower facilities. And, on Friday, the spa opens before EPCOT, so you won’t lose too much park time!
Another idea is to freshen up with baby wipes. While it’s not the same as a shower, I’ve done this when I was hiking before heading to the airport to go home. It’s surprisingly effective! And if you need to pick up wipes, you can buy them at the
Baby Care Centers inside all four theme parks.
If you need to store your race gear while you’re enjoying EPCOT on Friday, there are
locker rentals right at the park. I like that you can access your things anytime throughout the day for a one-time charge per day.
And finally, don’t forget to take photos with your 5k medal while you’re in EPCOT! If you buy
Memory Maker, you’ll get access to all of your
PhotoPass pictures in the park and during the race.
I hope you have the best race ever on Friday! And if you have any other questions, don’t hesitate to visit us again at planDisney.
