Hi Cheyenne!
Just like Super Bowl winners and Olympic gold medalists, you will be able to shout "I'm going to
Walt Disney World!" after you cross that momentous finish line! A few days in the park after a 26.2 mile run is a fabulous way to celebrate.
Once upon a time,
runDisney did offer discounted theme park tickets to race participants and their families, but that was halted a while back. The answer you read was probably from around 2015 or earlier. As recently as 2019, there was a coupon discount for the water parks, so do check your virtual coupon goodie bag. Also take a look at the
Special Offers page on the Walt Disney World site; you might find one you can apply to your trip.
Congrats to you for participating in the
Walt Disney World Marathon. Running through all four theme parks, seeing the sunrise with your fellow marathoners, and having a royal trumpeter peal as you jog through Cinderella Castle is an event like no other. Wear that medal with pride!
Run like the wind!
Elisabeth
