Hiii!! runDisney newbie with coveted Dopey registration snagged for me and my husband for the 2023 Marathon Weekend.
We are traveling as a family of 3 adult (Grandma's coming along!) and 3 kids and are not sure how to plan our days after the shorter races. Do you go to the Park? Do you chill at the pool? Other activity suggestions?
We plan to have restful (non-park) days for the Half and Full marathon days. Thanks!
I just did the marathon but this was my day this year:
I went from the race to open Epcot and closed the park. It was a great day and staying walking around all day made my recovery much better than any other full I've done. I woke up the next day no more sore than after running a half.
If I were doing Dopey I'd make sure to keep moving after each race, as others have said, and would probably do a park after the 5K and 10K and skip the park after the half. I would do Epcot after the full. It is so full of runners since it is right there and you can keep moving while enjoying World Showcase.
