Run the Parks. Recover Like Royalty.
The 2027 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend marks the 30th anniversary of the half marathon — a milestone celebration featuring Donald Duck across every race. Your running crew deserves more than a cramped hotel room. Wizard's Way puts your entire group under one roof, 15 minutes from the start line, with a heated pool for sore legs, a full kitchen for carb-loading, and nine bedrooms so everyone actually sleeps before early corrals.

Why Stay at Wizard's Way for Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend?
A hotel room is forgettable. This isn't.
15 Minutes from the Start Line
Wizard's Way in ChampionsGate is one of the closest luxury estates to Walt Disney World. Early corral times mean short commutes matter.
Post-Race Recovery Pool & Spa
Heated pool and spillover jacuzzi waiting after every race. Ice those legs, soak those muscles, float away the miles.
Carb-Loading Kitchen
Full gourmet kitchen for pre-race pasta dinners and post-race feasts. Three coffee systems for 3:30 AM alarm calls.
Room for the Whole Running Crew
Nine bedrooms sleeping 22. No splitting across hotel floors. Everyone under one roof with space to spread out and rest.
Five-Day Event, One Home Base
Multiple races across five days. A hotel room gets stale. A full estate with cinema, game room, and pool keeps every rest day interesting.
A 30th Anniversary Deserves a Special Stay
This is a milestone event. Wizard's Way is a Forbes award-winning fantasy estate — the kind of place that matches the significance of the occasion.

“Wow! Amazed! It is not a home, it's an experience! The attention to detail is unparalleled. The house scavenger hunt was phenomenal. There is so much to do and see that you don't even need to leave the home.”

“What a fabulous house! Our family didn't go to any nearby attractions but had so much fun hanging at the house enjoying the private pool, using the spa, and watching movies. The house exceeded everyone's expectations.”
