The Magic is Calling You to Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Walt Disney World Resort During the 2022 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend!

The magic is calling all runners to The World’s Most Magical Celebration! What better way to be a part of this milestone than running right in the heart of the celebration, as part of the 2022 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend? With four events featuring extra magical courses running through all four theme parks full of shimmering décor to the commemorative finisher medals with touches of “EARidescence” (and every detail in between,) it’s our most magical running weekend yet!

As we gear up for exciting race weekend ahead, we wanted to highlight some of the amazing offerings to enjoy while you’re visiting, as part of the anniversary celebration. We’ve rounded up a few ways to celebrate your Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend accomplishments in 50th Anniversary style during your upcoming “run”cation.

Start off by being race day ready with some tunes from the all-new official Walt Disney World Resort playlist, perfect for your magical miles. Featuring a musical journey 50 years in the making, this playlist highlights classic favorites and new adventures in celebration of Walt Disney World Resort’s 50th Anniversary.

No “run”cation at Walt Disney World Resort would be complete without experiencing the magic of the theme parks and beyond. With the 50th anniversary celebration of Walt Disney World Resort now in high gear, there’s exciting EARidescent magic to discover throughout, from dazzling décor to delicious treats and more. Take a look at everything to experience during the anniversary celebration around the Walt Disney World Resort:

• EPCOT
• Disney’s Hollywood Studios
• Disney’s Animal Kingdom
• Disney Resort Hotels
• Disney Springs

Following a full weekend of endurance events, get ready to celebrate your accomplishments in an extra special way! Make plans to show off your newly earned “bling” with a photo op or two – you won’t want to miss the ‘Disney Fab 50’ character sculptures at Magic Kingdom featuring the ‘Fab Five’ characters, perfect for matching your medals. Look to satisfy that post-race hunger with one of the more than 150 sips and bites that Disney chefs and mixologists have created full of color, whimsy, and a touch of “EARidescent” shimmer. Or even plan for a celebratory meal at newly reopened dining location such as Story Book Dining at Artist Point at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge. There you’ll enjoy a delicious dinner with appearances from characters from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, a perfect opportunity to celebrate those Dopey Challenge runners.
