One of the unique aspects to the Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend (and formerly, the Tower of Terror 10-Miler Weekend) is that it is during holiday seasons! There is a lot of fun holiday spirit to enjoy and experience, making your runDisney race weekend even more magical!
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party*
During select nights in September and October, Mickey invites everyone to join a party in Magic Kingdom! Put on your costume and trick or treat your way through the park. Watch the Boo to You parade and special fireworks appropriately called, HalloWishes! (Note: This used to be a great option with the Tower of Terror 10-Miler Weekend, but there is no longer a runDisney race during this time frame.)
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party*
Join Mickey, his friends, the toy soldiers and many more of your holiday favorites select nights in November and December at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in Magic Kingdom! Enjoy the Christmas Parade, dance with your favorite characters, watch a holiday edition of Wishes and even enjoy some hot cocoa and cookies. It is a great addition to your Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend!
Touring the Resorts & Parks
When it comes to holiday magic, even the parks and resorts get in on the fun! Take a little tour and see how they have transformed overnight. From pumpkins to Christmas trees stories high, you are sure to get into the holiday spirit!
*Separate party tickets are required. Be sure to purchase them in advance since the parties will most likely sell out during race weekend.
The holiday magic is alive throughout Walt Disney World, so be sure to experience it during your fall runDisney race!
Thanks for this post. I never gave the topic much attention borefe but now, sadly, it has become me. One of your points struck me and I think my kids see both of us parents making our own food of exactly what we feel like eating, so they expect to have the same privilege. Maybe it would benefit them for a family dinner where this is whats for dinner, period, and Dad and Mom eat it too. Usually I do, but we don’t do family dinner a lot because my hubby is an athlete and he is very particular about what and WHEN he eats. It’s so exhausting for a mom to cater to all these preferences You are so right, its heartbreaking when a kid won’t eat what you make. And when they only want to eat the same 2 foods day after day after day. So I try to buy more variety and let them have a say in the shopping list .I will consider a few more ideas.. hmm
