As a runDisney fanatic, I’m super glad that the Disney World races are seeming to increase in popularity.

After all, who doesn’t want to galavant through empty Disney parks in a fun costume while also meeting tons of RARE Disney characters? And THEN you get to wear an adorable medal around the parks! It’s super fun, and I’m happy that the events are starting to get the attention they deserve. However, there IS a downside to this increase in popularity.
Y’all, these races sell out like HOT CAKES. Lately, it seems that it takes longer and longer to get through that online queue to grab a spot in the races. It’s also becoming common for a lot of folks to be waiting in said queue and not get a spot at all!

On April 9th, registration opened for the 2025 Disney World Marathon Weekend, which hosts the ONLY full marathon in the Disney Parks. It’s a popular event that only seems to be gaining popularity with each passing year.

This year, I was only able to snag a spot in the Half Marathon after waiting in line for nearly two hours. By the time I was able to register, everything except for the half and full were sold out. The full was sold out by the time I finished my half registration.
