    Are the parks effected by the Princess Marathon, Thursday Feb 26th, 2026?

    Hi Courtney and welcome to planDisney! I'm so excited that you are going to be at my favorite place in the world during the start of the magical Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend!

    The runDisney races for the weekend begin on Friday, February 27th with the Disney Princess 5K so you can rope drop and close the parks down on Thursday the 26th and eat as many Mickey Bars as your heart desires! 

    You could start your day bright and early at Animal Kingdom at 8am or even earlier as guests staying at Disney Resort hotels and select other hotels can take advantage of a 30-minute early entry into Walt Disney World theme parks every day of their stay!

    I hope you plan to stay for the Disney Princess 5K!  You might see me as Gus Gus trying to keep up with my wife and two of my daughters who will be all decked out in their amazing Fairy Godmother and Anastasia and Drizella outfits!  One of my daughters is even taking on the Disney Princess Half Marathon!  I'll stick to the Mickey Bars!

    When you are ready to end your night, don't miss one of the magical fireworks & nighttime entertainment shows! You will go home Disney tired with a smile on your face and a day of memories that you will never forget!

    I hope you have a magical time!  Come back and see us anytime at planDisney!

    Kurt
