Welcome back, Teresa!
Choosing the right accommodations during a runDisney race event is essentially in assuring you have a magical experience while spectating your princess during the Walt Disney World Half Marathon! Here are my planning suggestions to help make that happen!
I would definitely choose a resort along the Monorail;
Disney's Contemporary Resort,
Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, or
Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa fit this bill. Your daughter will be able to take the Monorail to the Start Zone Area at Epcot, and you will be able to hop on the Monorail to Magic Kingdom to watch her run down Main Street USA in the shadow of Cinderella Castle! It's one of the most magical moments during the race (and also the only theme park you'll be able to spectate in). Once you see her in Magic Kingdom, you can then take the Monorail to Epcot and view her near the finish line! Post-race, you can all ride the Monorail back to your resort together and avoid road closures and one lane traffic.
I also suggest purchasing a
ChEAR Squad package! With this, you will have a reserved standing area in Magic Kingdom and reserved grandstand seating at the finish-line with hot & cold beverages to enjoy while you wait, making your experience as a spectator considerably more comfortable.
This information is a great place to start as you begin planning, Teresa! And please do not hesitate to ask any additional questions that you may have. I am here to help.
Don't forget to mark your calendar! Registration opens April 28th!
Have a great day,
Faith
