Hey Howdy Hey Carolyn and welcome to planDisney!
I am so excited to hear that you will have the experience at one of the many events for
Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend in Walt Disney World Resort. These races are so much fun and a delightful way to get unique views of the resort with some special characters and experiences along the way! Thank you for your question on
Memory Maker and its usage during a race event. Let's go over the details.
When it comes to purchasing Memory Maker, you have two options. You can either purchase Memory Maker One Day or Memory Maker - Advanced Purchase for your entire vacation. As long as you purchased Memory Maker for your whole vacation, you should be on your way to having access to your pictures during race day. You do not have to "activate" your Memory Maker by visiting the parks before usage. You should have all of the pictures taken for the weekend uploaded to your account as well as others for the duration of your vacation. Keep an eye out for your Race Event Guide for further instructions on connecting your bib number to your My Disney Experience Account so your pictures will be Magically uploaded after race day!
Being a part of a
runDisney event is so exciting and so much fun in any capacity. I am sure you have already looked into all that is involved in the events for the weekend but make sure you have plenty of time set aside for your
bib pick-up and expo. There you will find so many great vendors with items you may want to pick up before race day, other exciting events and who knows, you might also find a character photo spot along the way!
I hope this information was helpful and best of luck as you continue to plan and train for your epic trip next year, you are going to have so much fun! If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out and let us know, we would be happy to help!
Happy Training,
Nick
