Hi there, Amanda! Welcome to
planDisney, where we race out in search of answers to Disney vacation questions. I’m happy to lace up my running shoes to find an answer about transportation from the
Post-Race Party at EPCOT to
Shades of Green Resort during
Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend.
The Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend is just around the riverbend, Amanda! I’m glad you are making your transportation plans for arriving at those early morning race starting lines and to the Post-Race Party at EPCOT. During the Post-Race Party, you can enjoy EPCOT after the regular operating hours, meaning smaller crowds and more fun! I haven’t run the Wine and Dine Half Marathon yet, but this Post-Race Party makes me seriously consider adding it to my list of races for 2026!
Shades of Green Resort offers transportation to the Disney theme parks during regular operating hours. They do offer transportation outside of those hours for certain events, like Extended Evening Theme Park Hours and Early Entry Theme Park Hours. I called to speak with a Customer Service Representative at Shades of Green to inquire if transportation would be provided after the Post-Race Party. I was informed that transportation does not typically run for after-hours parties at the theme parks. If bus transportation is not available after the Post-Race Party, I recommend using a ride share service like Lyft or Uber.
I hope you have a fabulous race weekend and a wonderful stay at Shades of Green Resort! If you have additional questions, please bring them here to planDisney! It is our pleasure to help you experience the most magical Disney vacation possible.
Happy Running!
