PHOTOS: Marathon Weekend Brings BIG Crowds to Disney World

Each year, runDisney holds a variety of races and events across the Disney parks, and with them come plenty of eager runners and their families.

Have you ever visited Disney World during a marathon weekend? Maybe you haven’t but are curious about what kind of crowds the events bring.

We are in the parks every day, and today we’re giving you an up-close-and-personal look at what the crowds are like on the second day of the 2023 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend!

To start off, we headed into EPCOT. Guests were already making their way through the park and toward World Showcase. Armed with their ponchos and umbrellas, a little rain wasn’t going to stop them!

Just see how busy it was! We saw tons of lines, like this queue near Japan and China.

Heading over to Animal Kingdom, the day started off quietly, but by 10AM we started seeing the crowds.

The main walkways were filled with people. Luckily, we had a bit of music to keep our energy up!

Over in Magic Kingdom, things were a little tamer this afternoon. The wait for Space Mountain at 4PM was about 60 minutes.

The main races will be this weekend, so we are expecting more crowds as more runners arrive for their trips. For more updates on the crowds and traffic, stay tuned to our site!
