Marathon Weekend Events and Programs

[TMM]

What kind of events and programs occur during Marathon Weekend? I am trying to put together a draft of my itinerary as I need to start thinking about ADRs and what to see and do. Is there lots going on for my husband and I to attend. Or do most just pick up their race packets and be done with it all until the races?

DH went along with me to pick up my race packet. Then we spent time strolling through the Expo - very interesting to see all the products and vendors. I think we spent 2 hours total, from arriving at WWoS to leaving WWoS.

There was also a post-race party at Pleasure Island but I didn't attend.

HI........... besides the expo, I am pretty sure there was a pasta ( high carb)
dinner, perhaps buffet at sports cafe. hat may have been the night us WISHERS met at trails end.
That ( trails end WISH meet) I have to say was the bestpart of my weekend except of course finishing the marathon.
I do hope we decide to meet there again.

Not to worry though, they will send you all the info about whats going on and where. There may even already be info available on disney marathon site.

My only advice, and many other have disagreed with me..............
is not to plan on hopping the parks the next day!
Not trying to scare you but at least I was in pain right after the race and for about a week after. Again just my 2 cents and my own experience.
I planon hopping and doing my vacation things before the race.

good luck.
