Run disney 2024

[PrinceRaki]

I would love to run for the fist time at Disney. How far in advance do they announce dates for 2024? And when does registration open? TIA

They announced the 2022/2023 season on February 22, 2022, so I would think the 2023/2024 season would be announced around then. This is the current season schedule, with registration dates, to give you an idea Of what it might be in the future.

Thank you Naomeri! That is so helpful

Also notice that the season starts with W&D and ends with Spring Surprise so it isn't announced as a calendar year. If you are looking for the fall 2024 race(s), which may include DL, you might be waiting until the 2024/2025 season is announced.

Also you can probably figure out when they’ll likely be holding these races, they’re pretty consistent about scheduling. Wine and Dine has been on the first weekend of November, MW on the first full weekend of January. Both Princess Weekend and Springtime Surprise run in the middle of their respective months but I think they try to work around holidays for those.

One small correction. Marathon Weekend is not the first full weekend of January. It's the weekend prior to the MLK holiday weekend. There is often a full weekend in January preceding the race weekend.

Pre DL going on hiatus it was roughly

WDW marathon Weekend before mlk
Star Wars DL mlk weekend
Princess WDW last weekend Feb
Star Wars WDW late March-mid April range (now springtime surprise)
Tinkerbell dl Mother’s Day weekend
DL half Labor Day weekend
{Paris half mid-late September}
W&D WDW first weekend November
Marvel DL second weekend November

We can take a stab at guesses at those dates:

MW - occurs the weekend prior to MLK
2024 MLK day is 1/15/24. So predicted race weekend would be 1/3-1/7.

PW - occurs the weekend after President's Day
2024 President's Day is 2/19/24. So predicted race weekend would be 2/22-2/25.

SS - occurs ....
2023 is 4/13-4/16, Easter 4/9, Boston 4/17
2022 was 3/31-4/3, Easter 4/17, Boston 4/18
2021 Star Wars was 4/14-4/17, Easter 4/4, Boston 4/19
2020 Star Wars was 4/16-4/19, Easter 4/12, Boston 4/19
2019 Star Wars was 4/4-4/7, Easter 4/21, Boston 4/15

Easter in 2024 is 3/31 and Boston is 4/15.

I'm not seeing a great pattern. 2024 weekends would be 4/6, 4/13, 4/20, and 4/27. 4/27 seems too late based on the past. I would say a good guess would be 4/11-4/14.

Wine and Dine - occurs...
2022 was 11/3-11/6
2021 was 11/4-11/7
2020 was 11/5-11/8
2019 was 10/31-11/3
2018 was 11/1-11/4
2017 was 11/2-11/5

Based on this pattern, the 2023 Wine and Dine is probably 11/2-11/5. 2024 is probably 10/31-11/3.

I would guess that they like the Star Wars/Springtime Surprise Weekend to be mid-April, but not the weekend before Easter… (but the weekend after is okay…)

My best guess would be that it will be 4/11-4/14.

But a reasonable guess would also be 4/4-4/7.

Would Disney really be so nice to me as to do W&D 2024 actually over Halloween??

Seems reasonable. The other option is 11/7-11/10, but no Wine and Dine weekend since 2012 has included a double digit November day. In 2019, they opted for the Halloween cross-over instead.

2016 - 11/3-11/6
2015 - 11/6-11/7
2014 - 11/7-11/9
2013 - 11/8-11/9
2012 - 11/9-11/10
2011 - 9/30-10/1
2010 - 10/1-10/2

If I had to guess I'd say Expo on Halloween like in 2019

A Halloween 5K would be my favorite thing ever.

I’m planning on Marathon weekend 2024. I’m a teacher and we have a late Winter Break next year so I’ll still be off, if it’s the weekend it usually is. If there was every a year to do Dopey- that might be it. But I’m not there yet!
