Well the news was announced at the Start line of the Princess Half Marathon this year. There will be a Disneyland Paris Half Marathon! And yes, I want to go. If I go is another story; but I’m going go try my hardest to get there. I can’t miss an Inaugural even and something in a foreign country nonetheless.
The race will take place September 23 – 25 and to my knowledge, so far it is a half marathon. I am not sure if there will be a 5K prior to the race and what the details are for the start times. There is a website to go to sign up to receive information about the race weekend.
How do I get there? Good question. I have to start researching into flight options and costs. My friends all want to go so now we have to determine where we will stay. I had been following this news since last year when the rumors were starting to spread and I started researching places to stay. I like the looks of the Disney’s Hotel Cheyenne (Value Resort) so I will have to do some research to see if they have rooms available and what the cost is.
How much are park passes? Well according to the rates last year, this is what I know:
1-Day Park Hopper Ticket – £57 (about $96 US)
2-Day Park Hopper Ticket – £107 (about $179 US)
4-Day for the Price of a 3-Day Park Hopper Ticket – £130 (about $218 US)
5-Day for the Price of a 4-Day Park Hopper Ticket – £150 (about $251 US)
My biggest expense will be airfare of course. So it’s time to start watching the flights and see what choices I have.
Are you going to run the Disneyland Paris Half Marathon?
I will DEFINITELY be there with my family! My hubby and I were lucky enough to experience Paris (including Disney) on our honeymoon and we can’t wait to go back. Just a tip: if you stay on property, your rate usually includes park tickets and a lot of times, breakfast too! We are already planning!
Thanks for the tip Alyson!
