Marathon Weekend 2026

[marty3d]

Looking for some info from those of you who stop for pics during races.

With my DNF in my October marathon, I’m modifying my plan to PR in fun for the Disney marathon. So I now have a time goal in mind WITH some picture stops. I’m trying to plan out how many pics I can stop for and make that goal. So do any of you have an idea of the average time you spend at each stop?

Agree with @PrincessV.

It can also depend on which corral you start in. If you're in an earlier corral, the lines tend to be shorter) and how far along you are. I find the later miles the lines tend to be much shorter. Last year I started in C and from the Star Wars area heading in to AK all the way to the end I don't recall ever having to wait more than a minute or two. I waited longer to get a beer in Epcot!

I tend to skip the early stops with the crazy lines UNLESS it's a character I really want to see. "Banking" some time for later stops or riding attractions.
