My, oh, my, what a wonderful day, Courtney!
So happy to see you back at planDisney! Congratulations on successfully registering for the
Disneyland Half Marathon, which takes more than a little pixie dust to achieve! I am so excited to see runDisney returning to the
Disneyland Resort, and now we have a fun year ahead of us to plan! Time to lace up our favorite running shoes!
You are correct that the
Disneyland Resort Hotels are not yet available to book online for 2024. However, I highly recommend that you
contact runDisney directly at the phone number here (scroll to the bottom of the form) and ask if there may be options for runners to book rooms sooner. They will also be able to share any information they have on the location of the expo and other details that might help you decide which of the hotels you'd like to stay at!
My personal favorite hotel at the resort is the classic
Disneyland Hotel. It's where we always stayed when I was a child, and while they've renovated since then it still feels like coming "home" to me when we arrive! I also find these rooms to be slightly larger than the other options on the resort property, which is nice when you want to stretch out after a race. No matter which hotel you choose, you can bet that everything will be "Satisfactual" with plenty of amenities, beautiful pools, and all the race excitement nearby.
Courtney, I also registered for the Disneyland Half Marathon, so I'll be training right along with you all year! Here's hoping that there will be "plenty of sunshine headin' our way" as we get ready to go the distance! Please feel free to
send me a note here if you have more Disneyland planning questions, I'll tell Mr. Bluebird to let me know right away if you need me.
Keep moving forward!
Amanda
