The Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend is more than just a race. It is a full-on fairytale fitness celebration. From tiaras and tutus to character sightings and castle views, this iconic runDisney event brings runners, spectators, and supporters from all over the world to Walt Disney World® Resort.
Whether you are racing toward a new personal record, cheering from Main Street, U.S.A., or tagging along for the magic, where you stay can make a big difference during marathon weekend. That is where Legacy Vacation Resorts and The Fold Hotels come in, offering spacious, comfortable, and conveniently located stays near Disney, plus the perfect places to unwind after the medals are earned.
Why Location Matters for Disney Princess Marathon Weekend
When it comes to Disney Princess Marathon hotels, proximity is everything. Early wake-ups, road closures, and post-race exhaustion mean you want a stay that is close to Disney, easy to navigate, and calm when the crowds thin out.
Our Orlando-area resorts give runners and supporters the best of both worlds:
- Short drive to Walt Disney World® for race-day logistics
- Spacious suites perfect for stretching, hydrating, and resting
- Calm retreats to recharge after a high-energy race day
