Pre-Trip Report: Jon’s runDisney Marathon Weekend Trip (January 2026) — Where I Long To Be: A Magical Trip Report Podcast

The WDW Runner is back for another Dopey Challenge! Jon joins Virginia to sit down and talk through the details for his upcoming runDisney Marathon Weekend. This year, he and his wife are planning to forgo the deluxe resort for a stay at All-Star Sports and will once again be tackling the half-marathon together. They have some specific food plans (the buffalo chicken grilled cheese sandwich, for one) that they will be trying to weave in with their running and will plan to visit all four parks in their spare time.

Trip Dates: January 5-12, 2026
Pre-Trip Interview: recorded 12/29/25
