Walt Disney World Resort has headed back to the 1990’s for its runDisney marathon this weekend, and that blast from the past has had some unexpected perks for Walt Disney World Resort marathon runners!
We already knew that Walt Disney World Resort was going to be focusing on the 90’s for this runDisney marathon — particularly because one highly-in-demand runDisney marathon shirt has sold out shockingly fast and has been snatched up by one of Disney’s nemeses — but apparently, that 1990’s focus is not just extending to the merchandise and apparel that is on offer from the runDisney expo and from this year’s Walt Disney World Resort marathon.

The race called the 10K (i.e. a race that requires runners to run for 10 kilometers) was focused on the classic television show (and new movie) called Chip and Dale: Rescue Rangers. Apparently, Disney decided to honor this theme by bringing out two rare Disney characters for a Meet and Greet!
Fat Cat, one of the most famous Chip and Dale: Rescue Rangers villains, was joined by the heroic mouse and Rescue Ranger called Monterey Jack for the Meet and Greet.
Chip and Dale might be the more standard characters for a visit during this 10K, but plenty of Disney fans are typically thrilled by rare characters’ appearances characters far more, so Fat Cat and Monterey Jack really were the highlight!

Monterey Jack or “Monty” has shown up occasionally for 90’s events before, but Fat Cat has not been as prevalent a character. Footage of the two characters was caught by TikTok user @360degreesofdisney, who wrote in the caption of the video (which is shown below) that “Monty and Fat Cat are here to support at the Chip ‘n’ Dale themed 10K this morning!”
