Disney World Race Weekends – 10 Things You Need To Know
3. Traffic is Rough This applies to all aspects of race weekends. My experience with race traffic specifically is with the flurry of activity on the Princess Half Marathon weekend. Expect the Disney roadways to be more crowded than usual. For this reason, my family always stays on the property on race weekends. Fighting traffic and stressing about parking is not a great way to kick off your ra

Disney World Race Weekends – 10 Things You Need To Know
4. Staying on the Property is Golden As always, staying at a Disney resort is fantastic during a race weekend. Resort guests are transported to the start line by chartered race buses that run to the resort. When the race is over, the same buses take tired runners back to their resort.

Disney World Race Weekends – 10 Things You Need To Know
5. Wear Your Race Shirt and Medal As a runner, one of my favorite things about RunDisney races is seeing other guests wearing race shirts, medals and souvenirs around the resort after the race. Do not be embarrassed to sport that gorgeous medal you ran hard to earn; you won’t be the only one wearing it in the parks. Snag a few Photo pass photos in the park wearing your race gear later during the

3. Ride The Mine Train was designed as more of a “family” themed ride rather than your typical thrill coaster like Space Mountain or Expedition Everest. The ride itself has the feel of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Riders get to experience the attraction both indoors and outdoors. One of my favorite parts of this attraction is the swaying and moving feeling you have while riding it. This isn’

4. Disney Secrets This ride is filled with more nostalgic secrets, rather than ones you have to hunt and find. With Imagineers always wanting to remain true to form, they went ahead and used some of the old animatronics and characters from the Snow White Scary Adventures attraction to keep some historical sense to the new attraction. You may even be able to pick them out if you are a Disney Veter

Though the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train doesn’t have the vintage look and feel like the first attraction we discussed in Space Mountain, it does hold some serious Walt Disney history as it bears the name of the original Disney full length animated film. This ride is one that is here to stay, and should be a staple in any Disney World visitor's plans. I highly recommend booking a FastPass for this at

1. History One could argue that Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is the most iconic film in the history of Walt Disney Pictures. The film was the first full length animated picture of its kind. Snow White truly set the bar for all animated pictures going forward. It still appeals to guests of all ages, and the Magic Kingdom paid homage to it with Snow White’s Scary Adventures until 2012 when it
