Throughout the year, Disney World hosts different Marathon Weekends. The 2025 Marathon Weekend just wrapped up, and the Princess Half Marathon Weekend is right around the corner. If you want to run in this year’s Wine and Dine Half Marathon, registration is about to open, and this year’s themes are “delectable.”
Some of the busiest weekends in Disney World are when there’s a runDisney race going on in the parks!

During those weekends, you can expect to see big crowds, long wait times, and packed hotels throughout Disney World as runners come down to race and then celebrate their achievements in the theme parks. Whether you’re running or not, we recommend seriously planning ahead so that your trip isn’t made up entirely of waiting in long lines and fighting through crowds. If you’re going to be in Disney World during the EPCOT Wine & Dine runDisney weekend coming up soon, there’s one VERY important date you need to know about! [Read more…]
