Marathon Weekend 2026

[WDW 4 ME]

Out and backs during training is one thing. I don’t like out and backs during races. A big loop is much preferred

Is anyone interested in these? I can mail to you. I’m cleaning out a drawer and I’m more of a just safety pin my bib person.

I love them. I could use a set if they are still available?

If you still have a set, I will take them! I love bib boards and these are so fun.

SAFD: I grew up in Sacramento, and we used to make the drive down to Disneyland often. After college, I bought myself an annual pass and used to go 4 to 5 times a year. Then when I met my wife, we would go down frequently. When we had kids, we took them down often also, even had birthday parties there. We have two bricks in the esplanade between the two parks. So DL has a special place for us. But since we moved to Texas, we go to WDW may more now. When they announced earlier this year that this year's DL Half Marathon weekend was probably going to be the last one for a long time, I had to jump on the opportunity to get my C2C medal. So I will be making the trek from WDW for MW, then at the end of the month, making the trip to DL.

Anyone changing their resorts with the release of the new discounts? Oddly enough, it was more expensive for us with the discount. We booked standard room and doesn’t appear to have that room type still available. I’ve been on hold this morning, to see if they can apply the discount to our room type but I’m not optimistic.

Same. I played around with it this morning assuming I could get something moderate or even deluxe for cheaper or the same price as the fairly high rate at the Swan I currently have. And nothing was cheaper. Swan it is.

We wanted the swan, as we are titanium members and consider the swan our 2nd home. Sadly, the availability stinks. I check every day, hoping some days will be released. So far, not much luck. Would have to move resorts marathon day and that’s just not an option for me. I did chat with a Disney cast member and they told me to keep checking back as well, to see if more room availability opens up with the discounts applied. We are at CBR in a standard, and the only option they have now is a preferred room. Sigh

I've been checking Swan/ Dolphin daily as well and the availability actually seems to be getting worse. The last few years I'd been able to get a room by late September. Usually its due to blocks of rooms being held for a conference but given that at least Thursday and Sunday are sold out I'm not sure anymore (Monday is almost sold out so maybe Sunday/ Monday are due to a conference and the rooms won't release until later this fall)
