Creator's Key Takeaways

the Run Disney Experience is fantastic. As you saw throughout the video there were tons of characters out there's people in costumes the energy is amazing

it is not a race to PR by any means there are a ton of people of very different levels that are on the course

I mean it was a really hard race we did not train as much as we had hoped and coming in with some kind of injuries makes it harder

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Do some self-care and stretch before you continue walking to your vehicle after the race to avoid hurting yourself.

✓Consider staying on property to utilize the resort buses that go directly to the Expo and the race start.

✓If you are looking to run, consider runDisney events; they are a great experience even if you aren't a fast runner.

YouTube Video Description↓

We signed up for the Disney World Half Marathon. We did not train nearly enough. One of us had plantar fasciitis. It was 4AM. It was pouring rain. And somehow we crossed the finish line anyway. Here's the full honest runDisney experience from bib pickup to the finish line. We cover: ✦ What runDisney actually is — all 6 events explained (Marathon Weekend, Princess Half, Wine & Dine & more) ✦ The Dopey Challenge — running 48+ miles over 4 days (we're not doing that) ✦ Bib pickup day at ESPN Wide World of Sports — the Expo, merch, vendors & why you should NOT go on opening day ✦ Race shirt & medal breakdown — yes the medal jiggles, yes it matters ✦ Race morning reality — 2:30AM wake up, corrals, 15,000 runners & rain ✦ Running through Magic Kingdom before it opens to the public (Main Street, Fantasyland, Tomorrowland & through the Castle) ✦ Character stops, costumes & the energy that makes runDisney so special ✦ What happens after the finish line — ice stations, bananas & stretching ✦ Honest verdict — is runDisney worth it even if you barely trained? (we don't recommend not training BTW) 🏅 runDisney events happen at Walt Disney World and Disneyland — they sell out FAST so plan ahead! 🏰 Thinking about doing a runDisney event or planning a Disney World trip around Marathon Weekend?
