runDisney WDW Marathon Weekend 2024 | WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

[@nadeaminet2766]

I’m running the half marathon for the 1st time!! I’m so excited 🙌🏼

[@SwishWilly]

You got this!! You’re going to have a blast! I hope to see you there!

[@dampam4273]

can you do a video on where to stay during the Disney marathon for single people and families?

[@SwishWilly]

I can certainly try to get one done. I'll likely recommend them all because there really is no BAD place to stay on Disney property! Buses take you to the expo and the races from ALL Disney resorts!

[@TheRunnerLucy]

Ahhhh! I saw my friend had got into Dopey and I got serious FOMO and logged in and managed to get a Marathon place - they only had HM and Marathon left so thought I'd go hard or go home! This will be my second marathon (I'm doing my first in October 2023!) and my first RunDisney event... I'm so excited and overwhelmed!

[@SwishWilly]

That is so exciting!! I missed out on Dopey last year and the same thing happened to me! I registered for the marathon! You're going to have the best time!! Congrats on doing two marathons in 3 months!! WOW!

[@user-ni3bw2il6i]

Thanks for the great video! Hopefully I’ll get to run my first marathon☺️

[@SwishWilly]

Best of luck in registration!!!

[@davidharmon6551]

I'm in for Dopey 😊. Hope you got it also 🤞.

[@SwishWilly]

I did!! I'll see you at the expo!!

[@davidharmon6551]

Congratulations! Now the planning, the packing, and oh yeah, the training 😢. Have a great rest of the year. Run strong, run safe, and see you at Disney!

[@SwishWilly]

@@davidharmon6551 You too!! Training starts today for me :) See you at the expo!!

[@ShashankKamrasilentkiller]

Thank u, very informative, Can we get teh medals engraved if yes then how do i do it?

[@SwishWilly]

Yes you can! When you go to the expo, you’ll see a booth where they can frame the medals and such :) I believe they can engrave.

[@katiehobbs96]

Do you have any advice for registering for multiple races? Gonna try for the 5 and 10k

[@SwishWilly]

Hi Katie! Typically the 5k sells out first. So I would say to try to get that one first if that’s your priority! But if the 10k is your preferred, go with that one!! Think of which one you’d be more upset about not doing.

[@katiehobbs96]

@@SwishWilly Thanks for the tip! Would I have to register for them one at time? If so do you suggest I complete one and then go back or just add it to the cart and then go back?

[@SwishWilly]

@@katiehobbs96 You do have to it one at a time, but I do believe it will let you through without going through the waiting room again.

[@katiehobbs96]

@@SwishWilly Awesome! Thanks for the info!! I hope you're able to get dopey!

[@SwishWilly]

@@katiehobbs96 thank you so much! I’m definitely going to try :)

[@majocanas9438]

As a proof of time, it’s only accepted if the race took place on the us?

[@SwishWilly]

So sorry this took so long to reply! No :) You can use Canadian races as well. I'm not 100% sure if you are able to use international races but I have seen international runners in the first corrals before

[@scottwreford8027]

How long do the races typically sell out, more so the dopey challenge ?

[@SwishWilly]

Typically the challenges sell out between 30 - 60 minutes of registration opening.

[@davidharmon6551]

Good luck on getting Dopey. I had so much fun this year, I'm going to try for my 2nd Dopey. If we all make it in, we have to plan a meet up at Expo.

[@SwishWilly]

Thank you!! We all need the best of luck. Fingers crossed it's not like last years registration lol. And Yes! I agree! We will definitely need to plan a meet up at the expo :)

[@pixiedustrun3521]

Great vlog on WDW Marathon Weekend 2024 what you need to know. Hope you get Dopey! Sad I won't be there. :(

[@SwishWilly]

Thanks!! Here’s praying for Dopey!

[@virginiagroot7510]

Can I pick up someone else’s race bib?

[@SwishWilly]

Great question! You are only able to pick up someone else's bib if they are a minor. All runners over the age of 18 MUST pick up their own bib.
