    Planning a possible trip in 2027 with family. Is there a calendar that shows events such at the run marathon, cheerleading, etc.

    Hi there, Christine, and welcome to planDisney!

    2027 will be here before you know it, so I'm so glad that you've decided to stop by with your question. Disney World is my Happy Place, but it's also many others', too! That means that there's always something extra fun going on around the Resort. 

    Unfortunately, there isn't one calendar that shows every single event that goes on at Disney World. You can find the overall theme park hours, parade times, ride refurbishments, and after-hours events and parties on the Day Calendar. However, it's my pleasure to share what I know about upcoming major events. 

    The following 2027 races have been announced for runDisney: January 6-10 for the Marathon Weekend, February 25-March 1 for the Princess Weekend, and April 8-11 for the Springtime Surprise Weekend. The usual fall race, Wine & Dine Weekend, doesn't have a set date yet. As a runDisney participant, I can say that the theme parks are only a bit busier on those weeks. But you'll find that the early mornings will be quieter because most runners are resting after their races. 

    EPCOT festivals are major draws, but you'll probably want to join in on that fun, too! The Festival of the Arts is usually from mid-January to late-February. The Flower & Garden Festival is in the spring. The Food & Wine Festival is usually from mid-August until mid-November. The Festival of the Holidays is usually from late-November until late-December. 

    The cheer and sports competition information may be found on the ESPN Wide World of Sports website's events calendar. There could be other events going on around Disney World that could possibly impact crowds as well. 

    I hope that this helps you, Christine. I highly recommend checking out the planDisney Video Library to get tips and tricks for planning the best trip possible! Of course, you can always revisit us here at planDisney to ask your personal questions as well. See you real soon!

    Magic always,
