This race came off the heels of Halloween and ahead of the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons. Luckily, the decorations are already up throughout most of the parks. Parades are in full swing, instrumental holiday tunes are playing throughout, ornaments are available to purchase at the gift shops, and the Christmas programming is underway. There's no better place to begin to deck the halls than at Walt Disney World.
prevnextCelebrity appearances
You may catch a glimpse of some of your favorite celebrities throughout the weekend. Four-time Olympic gold medalist Sanya Richards Ross of The Real Housewives of Atlanta ran her first 5k on Nov. 4. She told us of her experience, "It didn't feel like there was a lot of judgment. It was just really a lot of fun. I thought I might run and walk some of it. And I never had any desire to walk. I just wanted to keep going, and I wanted to keep pushing. That definitely came from the inspiration from everyone around me."
prevnextRun/Walk with your favorite characters
While participating in the 5k, 10k, or half marathon, slow down for a chance to hug on iconic Disney characters. Some who made appearances throughout the 5k at EPCOT included Olaf from Frozen, Donald Duck, and the rats from Ratatouille.
prevnextEat to the Beat
While eating a few treats and sipping on wine from Argentina, take a moment to enjoy some live music. Throughout the season, there are several lineups. While I was there, I enjoyed the sweet sounds of Boyz II Men. The Philadelphia natives got the crowd jamming to some of their hits, including Motown Philly, I'll Make Love to You, and End of the Road.
prevnextEPCOT Food and Wine Festival
The great thing about EPCOT is that the park is a treat around the world. A cultural celebration of different cultures, walking throughout the park takes you to some of the greatest countries, giving you a taste of their customs, traditions, and of course, food. The Food and Wine festival is a taste tour across six continents and is running through Nov. 19, with food and beverages from across the globe.
