Run the Parks. Eat Your Way Through EPCOT. Recover in Style.
Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend combines the thrill of running through Walt Disney World's parks with the ultimate reward — the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival after-party. Your running crew and foodie friends deserve more than a hotel room with a mini fridge. Wizard's Way is 15 minutes from the start line, with a heated pool for post-race legs, a full kitchen for carb-loading, and nine bedrooms so your entire group sleeps well before those pre-dawn corrals.
