Following along as i've given my daughter the option to run the DL half, princess , or springtime surprise and we've never been out for DL runs. I hope she picks it and that we're able to secure a spot next week!

I'm hoping to register for the DL race weekend, which will be my first race weekend on the west coast. We usually stay off property, since so many hotels are close within walking distance. Do people do this for race weekends? Do the off-property hotels have race transportation? I'm not sure I want to be walking to the parks at three in the morning if they don't. Do most runners just stay onsite? Appreciate any feedback.

For the 2024 half marathon weekend, I stayed at the park vue inn. Right across the street from the Disneyland entrance and for the races it was only a block away from one of the back entrances. The plus to that was our security line was way shorter than the main one. It seemed to me that a lot of people stayed off property. It was very nice to walk to the start. No stressing about buses like Disneyworld.

I've recently gotten into running and am excited to get started with RunDisney events! I'm on the West Coast so the Disneyland events make a lot of sense to start with, so I'm a little bummed that they'll be on hiatus for a while. I have a work event in San Francisco on the 31st and 1st, so I'll only be able to do the 5k on the 30th. Was almost going to skip this one because I won't be able to be there for long, but the hiatus solidified that I definitely want to try to get in, since we don't know when they'll return. Excited and nervous for registration next week!

I hope you get it! I love the DL 5k course. Starting by the castle/on Main Street is awesome.
