May 13, 2017

Running a Disney race is truly fun-filled experience and every mile is magic. The music, the fireworks, the characters along the course, and running through the theme parks all contribute to a race experience that is unique and unparalleled.

The Magic Your Way Base Package includes a Disney resort and theme park ticket. Disney has over 25 themed resorts to choose from, as well as customizable theme park tickets. All it takes is the cost of the race(s) and a $200 deposit on a Magic Your Way Package. Prices will vary according to resort and theme park ticket choices; dining options are also available.

While it is not necessary to stay at a Disney resort to run a Disney race, it really is the best option.
