Hi, Christina! Welcome back to planDisney! I see you are getting laced up for
runDisney Springtime Surprise Weekend, so let's run through your question.
I'm especially excited for you because this year's challenge medal features Aladdin and Genie from my favorite Disney movie. It's impressive that you're tackling the challenge, which, for our friends who may be wondering, is a 5k, followed by a 10k the next day, followed by a half marathon the third day, for a total of 19.3 miles. Whew!
Christina, your registration for the Springtime Surprise Challenge includes entry for all three races, Disney Characters and entertainment, refreshments during and after your races, 4 participant shirts 4 finisher medals and more. Disney Theme Park admission, other than the course during the race, is not included, and this weekend does not feature a Post-Race Party. This may not be the answer you were hoping for, but I have some other fun ideas for you.
Since you asked about an after party, it sounds like you'd like to celebrate your achievement in one of the Disney Theme Parks. I'm not sure how long you are staying, but I do see
Disney After Hours at EPCOT is happening on April 15 as well as
Disney After Hours at Magic Kingdom Park on April 20. I looked online, and as of right now, tickets are still available for both. These ticketed events last for three hours after the parks close and include attractions, Disney Characters, popcorn, ice cream novelties and bottled drinks like water and soda. I can't think of a better way to celebrate!
If you are looking for a
runDisney weekend that does include a Post-Race Party, I have some good news for you. In the past,
Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend has featured a Post-Race Party. Tickets have been included with half marathon and challenge registration and have been available to purchase for everyone else. This year's event will be held October 22-25, and registration opens February 10. Keep an eye on the
runDisney website for more details.
Christina, if I had three wishes for you right now, they'd be that your Springtime Surprise races are as smooth as a magic carpet ride, that you won't need phenomenal cosmic powers to finish and that you'll remember you have friends like us here at planDisney for any other questions you may have.
Have a magical trip!
