Crowds for Marathon

Just how crowded will it be during the wine and dine marathon? I'm a little worried...

On the weekend crowds at Epcot will be high with to without the marathon because of the food and wine festival. During the week you should be fine.

Wine and dine HALF marathon weekend will be crowded. There are several races- Friday morning 5k, Saturday morning 10k and Sunday morning 1/2 marathon. Combined with food and wine festival, I'm expecting big crowds that weekend.

I will be there the 4th-11th and am expecting it to be very crowded. Veterans Day as well as jersey week along with the races are also that same time period. You can look at hotel availability with no discounts (many are sold out) and know it's going to be busy. Oh well it's still Disney though!

In the next few weeks Run Disney will issue an event program (google: "run disney wine and dine 1/2"). If you avoid race locations the crowds can be low. So far the map(s) hasn't been published. If you time it right, the morning of the race, you can ride ToT and RNR a few times in a row with zero wait time. EPCOT and MK tend to be crowded over the race weekend.

The races all start very early in the morning and the 5K and even 10K are basically over before the parks open. The half will last into mid to late morning but shouldn't affect too much.
