January is just around the corner when you really think about it, especially if you’re training to run in the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend happening January 8th-12th, 2025. With the race just a few short months away, Disney has just released what the medals will look like for those who complete the races!
Although things usually quiet down a little in Disney World in January, this upcoming January could be a little different.
Hope you don’t want to see this on January 6th
That’s because a lot of things are RETURNING to Disney World for the first time since 2020 on January 9th. Park pass reservations are going to be a thing of the past for almost all visitors. The Disney Dining Plan is coming back. All-day park hopping is returning. But something interesting is happening before that.
The holiday season has just begun, and Disney World is already celebrating. But that also means the new year is right around the corner.
Christmas in Magic Kingdom
Disney World is a very popular vacation destination to ring in the new year, and each new calendar year brings lots of news and changes to the parks. If you’re planning a trip for January, one of the (usually) slower times in the parks, here’s why you DON’T want to visit at the beginning of the month.
When you’re planning a Disney World trip, there’s a lot you need to remember!
EPCOT
Which hotels are closest to the parks? Where should you stand to get the best parade views? And when should you actually plan your visit?! If you’re heading to Disney World in 2024, these days, in particular, could be a nightmare for you.
Booking a Disney World trip is super fun, but it also comes with lots of planning.
Swan and Dolphin Hotels
Planning what dining reservations to get, what rides are on the top of your must-ride list, and everything in between. We’re here to help with all of your planning needs, which means we also need to warn you that there are some reasons you need to be extra careful when planning your next Disney World trip.
It’s a HUGE weekend at Disney World — the 2023 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend is underway!

Participants have descended upon Disney World to take part in a fun-themed series of races for a chance to win medals and score some SWEET 90s-inspired merchandise. However, runners also qualify for a discount at a popular Disney Springs restaurant!

The Festival of the Arts is kicking off in a few weeks at EPCOT, and After Hours events are returning to Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios in January. But one of the first things that’s coming up soon is the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend from runDisney, and we just got a sneak peek at the event merchandise!
We’re heading into 2023 PUMPED UP and ready for the new year!
2023 in DISNEY WORLD!
We’ve got a lot of excitement happening in Disney World in the next 12 months with the opening of TRON Lightcycle Run, Roundup Rodeo BBQ, Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana, and more! But before all that happens, we’ve got to make it through January. And there are 5 big things that you definitely don’t want to miss in Disney World this month!
The new year means new changes at Disney World!
Magic Kingdom
The Disney parks are constantly changing and evolving to add new attractions or restaurants like TRON Lightcycle Run in Magic Kingdom and Roundup Rodeo BBQ in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. So what changes can you expect if you’re visiting Disney World in January 2023? These may be a bigger deal than you think!
Are you ready for a throwback?!

The theme has already been revealed for runDisney’s 2023 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend — Retro ’90s. (If you registered for the race simply due to the theme, we can’t blame ya.) And every single one of the races in Disney World for this marathon weekend has sold out, along with the Castaway Cay Challenge offered through Disney Cruise Line. Your only chance to participate in the event is by running the races virtually. And if you’re already registered to participate in one of the races at Disney World (or you’re just a fan of ’90s theming), you’ll want to take a look at the medals for this throwback race!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
