Marathon Weekend 2026

[Herding_Cats]

Good morning, RunDisney All-Stars! March is upon us, which means it's time to crown our favorite dining location in March Magical Madness! We picked our top four dining locations from each park, setting up our very own Sweet Sixteen (with some very sweet option in there, indeed), and now they'll go head to head to see which comes out on top.

Pick your favorite from each match-up in the bracket below. At the end of the week, I'll tally all the votes and we'll see which advance to the Elite Eight. I'll leave voting open through the end of the day on Friday to give everyone a chance to weigh in. Here we go!

I’ve decided to skip MW 2026. Too much uncertainty about the future in general, and my future in particular. I want more time to see how things play out before making any unnecessary large expenditures. I’ll probably hang around here for all the good chat leading up to MW, though. Good luck to everyone going for it tomorrow - may the odds be ever in your favor!

Ahh, registration day eve and the jitters are setting in! Why is this process so frustrating and stressful?!

Any tips on registering 3 people? I've registered myself and my fiance for several races, but a friend wants to join in for Dopey. Should I do fiance and I, then go back and do friend? Or do all 3 at once? I thought I read somewhere to limit to 2 people at a time.

Partly depends on how early you manage to get into the actual registration process. Dopey sold out last year in about 90 minutes--but of course there's no guarantee what tomorrow will bring. If you get in an early queue, you could try to get all three. The question to ask is: Do you value you and your fiance getting in more than you value your friend joining in? If so, do those two--meaning pay for them--and then go back again and register your friend.

This has likely been asked a 100 times already, but for the slackers like myself, do we need to submit a POT tomorrow when we register for the 2026 marathon? Next question is, if I get a better race time (have a half this weekend) I can then update it? Do I update on the runDisney page or do I have to email trackshack? Sorry for asking again if this has been asked already. Its been a while since I have registered for a runDisney event.

No.

You can go back to your registration (go to your RD profile) after signing up and change it there until the POT deadline, which in this case is July 1.

Queue ID: And remember it's only good for one person, so if you want to share, then use Direct Message--because if you paste it into a post and multiple people go to use it, then all but one will get booted and the others will have wasted (precious) registration time.

I actually like it better when people just post the available queue ID with remaining time here on the thread. Yes, there is a chance someone else grabs it first. That has happened to me. But I would rather do that and start over than waste time DM'ing someone, then wait for a response and then find out it has already been sent to someone else. It think it is faster and I have had more success just clicking on a link that was posted and see what happens. If you get the message it is already in use, just go back and click the next one that is posted. Once people start getting in, there are many available links. So hopefully folks will post links (as well as DM)...

For the second MW registration day in a row I won't be at home tomorrow and will have to hope that I have decent wifi. At least this time I won't be on a plane.

Also - I am bringing way too many devices with me for a 3 day work trip....

I had a failed queue ID incident and would rather not go through that again, missed out on a challenge as a result.

I'm trying to register for the marathon for just myself. I ran the Wine and Dine and only got registered because someone was super nice and shared their queue number. I'm no expert at registering. When you go to register, do you start at this page?

No, the links will populate on this page, should go live maybe 15 min before 10:00 and then you can join the queue. You'll want to enter the waiting area *before* 10:00.

 

[KCO5988]

I'm already registered but am trying to help a friend get in tomorrow. Will post here if I have any good extra queues to share after we (hopefully) get her in!

 

[lookingforsunshine]

I am registered for Dopey! I am running through a charity this time— A Running Passion. I am currently training to try to get PoT… a 2:22 half will be a stretch so we will see.

SAFD: I am going to leave this to the experts, because I have the palate of a 12 year old and have only eaten at 4 of these places.
