Hi there Noelia, welcome to planDisney!
I'm so glad you brought your runDisney question here today, it's great to chat with another
runDisney fan! My daughters and I have participated in a few runDisney events and enjoyed running with friends. As a recreational runner, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it was an incredible experience—now I’m hooked!
Regarding
runDisney race weekends, transportation is a key part of planning. The mornings are early but don't worry, your transportation to the race site will be supercalifragilistic! Complimentary shuttle buses leave from onsite hotels and transport participants and spectators to and from the event during set times. There will be signage around
Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel directing Guests to the bus stop (departure times will also be posted). Buses run continuously during the time window so don't stress if you see one pulling away - the next one is right around the corner!
As the race date gets closer, the official Digital Expo and Event Guide will be available with more details about the event specifics. Participants must attend the
runDisney Health & Fitness Expo (held at
ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex) at least one day before their first event and pick up their race bib and participant shirt. For me, this is the part where the race feels real! The hours of the
runDisney Health & Fitness Expo for the Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend are as follows:
- Thursday, February 20, 2025: 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM
- Friday, February 21, 2025: 12:00 PM to 7:00 PM
- Saturday, February 22, 2025: 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM
The Expo is always brimming with fantastic vendors, and I couldn’t resist picking up a few souvenirs! Noelia, I hope you find this information helpful. Wishing you an enchanting Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend and the best of luck with your training. If you have any more questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at planDisney. We’re here to help!
You've got a friend in me,
Candace
