Disney World Race Weekends – 10 Things You Need To Know
1. Late Sleepers Beware Disney races start early to ensure the roadways are clear of runners before park opening. Arriving at the start line at least an hour before the race begins is my recommendation to ensure you have time for a few photos, enjoying a snack and to get in the right mindset before walking to your start wave. This means that you will be waking up early to catch a bus to Epcot fr

Disney World Race Weekends – 10 Things You Need To Know
2. Costumes are a Fun Option The majority of runners are costumed in some way to reflect the host princess of the race or their favorite Disney character. Tutus, hats, wigs, and princesses dresses, you will see them all at a RunDisney race. I prefer to “Disney bound” running style to channel the color and style of my favorite character without being distracted by an uncomforted costume. Do not b

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

2. Pre-Ride Experience Being a new attraction, the Disney Imagineers used newer technology to allow guests to remain active and engaged while waiting in line. There is a “sorting station” for little miners to sort jewels that is over fifteen feet long. Guests whom have a keen eye for detail, will also notice an ode to Dopey we’ll dig into when divulging some of the Disney secrets. Little miners

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
