Spectating the Disney Wine and Dine

Yesterday I told you guys about going to Disney World with the Bff's to get a little RNR and do what I love by racecationing!

Yep I went to my very first Disney race. I have never attended an infamous Disney race before so I was excited to finally see what all of the craziness is about. Unfortunately the race was sold out and has been sold out forever, so I did what every veteran racecationer does and spectated! 

              Yep that's right! I sent my friends on their way to the bus drop offs and I conquered Epcot solo! 

I was able to get a finish line party wrist band thanks to Kristen. 

           I'm not sure if you know this but the Wine   and Dine half marathon doesn't start till 10pm, however my friends had to be on the bus by 7. What was great is that Epcot aloud the people with the finish line bracelets to enter Epcot at 7pm. The park doesn't close till 9. See where I'm going with this? Yep! I was able to ride a couple rides and check out the fireworks show. It was amazing. 

         I never thought the day would come I would be at a Disney park by myself walking around for 7 hours but it happened and I LOVED every minute of it. I also was able to taste some of the food and drinks at the Food and Wine Festival, AMAZING!

I was able to leave the park and go to the finish line just in time to see the winners come through.

         I knew my friends would not be there for a couple more hours so I went back in the park and met up with Kristin, Heather, and Meagan! Love these girls! It was awesome meeting Meagan for the first time. She's amazing and also loves Disney solo ;)! 

 

My finally met up with my friends around 3am and we decided to go back to the hotel! 

           So what did I think of my Disney race spectating experience? It was definitely an experience. I think if your running the race you will enjoy it more, however Disney puts on an amazingly organized race and I can see what all of you Disney runners love about it. After all it is the happiest place on earth! 

        QOTD: Have you ever attended a RunDisney  race! If so thoughts?
