Hey Lauren,
Welcome to planDisney! Congratulations on registering for the
runDisney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend! I can’t decide which runDisney race weekend is my favorite, but Wine & Dine ranks highly on my list!
Your Post-Race Party ticket allows you to enter EPCOT as early as 5:00 PM on October 26. We don’t have all the details about the party offerings yet, but in the past, we’ve seen exclusive pins available for purchase, live entertainment, photo opportunities, and even a specialty drink.
I attended the Post-Race Party in 2024 and in my experience, the photo opportunities, character meetings, and exclusive cocktail were not available until the official party start time of 10:00 PM. After a weekend of waking up around 3:00 AM and running 19.3 miles in the Two Course Challenge, my group opted to spend a little extra time at our resort and arrive at the Post-Race Party closer to 10:00 PM.
Keep an eye out on the Wine & Dine page on the runDisney website, Lauren. As race weekend gets closer the Official Digital Expo & Event Guide will be uploaded to the
Runner Info page. This will have all the details about getting to the races, course maps, and any important Expo information you may need. You’ll also want to check the
runDisney social media and
Disney Parks Blog for previews of race weekend merchandise and race participant shirts.
Good luck in your training and I hope you have the best time at Wine & Dine Weekend! I love participating in runDisney events because they are unlike any other race I’ve experienced. If you have any more questions about runDisney or your visit to Walt Disney World, we’d love for you to come back and see us again at
planDisney!
Wishing you many magical miles,
Kaitlin
