Hi Jill! Welcome to planDisney.
Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend will be here very soon. Runners from all over the world head to
Walt Disney World Resort to combine their loves of Disney, food, and miles to celebrate together. If you are a runner, I wish you happy and fun miles. If you are a day visitor, encourage and congratulate those running races.
The
Post-Race Party takes place on November 5, 2023. This is a hard-ticketed event that begins at 10:00 PM. Party tickets will allow guests to enter
EPCOT beginning at 5:00 PM. From my experience, crowds can be heavy from this time to the closing of EPCOT for day guests. If you are attending the party, I encourage you to stay late. Often, attendees start thinning at about 11:30 PM, and wait times for character meet-ups and attractions are low.
Personally, I have never felt like day crowds are largely impacted by
runDisney race events. Keep in mind, that
road closures occur in the mornings. If you are staying at a Disney Resorts Collection Hotel, I recommend utilizing
Resort Transportation. Cast Members will know the best and fastest routes to the theme parks. Always allow more time to get to your destination.
Keeping it Magical,
Cindy
