food IS a theme park
If you are thinking about visiting Disney World in February, you may want to avoid Magic Kingdom.
Magic Kingdom
February tends to be a slower season at Disney World, but is there really even a slow season in Disney World anymore? Winter break is over, and fewer families are taking vacations since kids are back in school, but it could be different in February of 2025.
We clock THOUSANDS of steps in Disney World a day, and we know that people visiting for vacation do as well!
Cinderella Castle
But if those 15,000 steps aren’t enough for you, you can pay to get even MORE! Yep, one of Disney World’s most popular offerings is the runDisney races that happen throughout the year, where people can register to run through the Disney parks before they open for the day, competing in 5K, 10K, half marathon, and marathon races. And if you’re interested in doing a race, we’ve got some news for you!

If you’re planning to visit Disney World next weekend, be prepared for some potential crowd problems.
Main Street, U.S.A.
One of runDisney’s popular annual events will take place at the Walt Disney World Resort from April 18th through the 21st. The Springtime Surprise Weekend is chock full of great moments for those participating. However, like any runDisney event, it can lead to some headaches for those simply visiting the resort while it’s happening.
As a runDisney fanatic, I’m super glad that the Disney World races are seeming to increase in popularity.

After all, who doesn’t want to galavant through empty Disney parks in a fun costume while also meeting tons of RARE Disney characters? And THEN you get to wear an adorable medal around the parks! It’s super fun, and I’m happy that the events are starting to get the attention they deserve. However, there IS a downside to this increase in popularity.
