Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Sylvia!
I'm excited to hear you are already making plans for the 2017 Disney Princess Half Marathon. I would love to know which of the three races being held during this most royal weekend you are most interested in participating in?
Choosing a Resort Hotel in the Epcot Area will make your commute to/from the race area via personal vehicle or provided Race Transportation a lot shorter than resorts that are farther away from Epcot. Keep in mind, all guests will need to drive and park at Epcot or take the Race Transportation bus, but at least your ride will be short near Epcot.
Resort Hotel accommodations at Walt Disney World® Resort may be booked 499 days in advance of your arrival, but you really won't need to worry about booking your Resort until you've gotten registered - registration for 2017 opens in July of 2016.
I also suggest signing up for complementary
runDisney Email Notifications to keep up-to-date on registration information and race details. Just select the highlighted link to get started.
I hope this helps, Sylvia! Please let me know if you should have any additional questions as you begin planning. I am here to help.
