Early this morning we had a HUGE thunderstorm roll through — around 5am for about an hour or so. The thunder boomed so loud it woke DH and I up.
Then I laid there and couldn’t fall back asleep. It got me thinking…how much would it cost to Run every Disney Race for a full year?
So that’s what I’m going to figure out today!
I’m going to calculate based on 2014 with the caveat that some of these are still 2013 prices since they haven’t been updated yet! I will also assume you are booking the day the events are released and will get the cheapest price listed.
I’ll exclude transport, but include resort stays at a value resort price and park tickets for each day that there is a race. Oh! And, including adult races only (no kids races).

Seem like a lot? These are in and out, no extra days costs so you’re probably looking to at least DOUBLE that cost if you want to stay longer, or take someone else along. And, don’t forget you gotta pay for transportation and food!
Looks like I won’t be running full disney for a year anytime soon!
Nice breakdown! Kind of helps me decide which ones I want to shoot for the in the future!
Thanks! Keep in mind you could do hotels that are “good neighbor” in Anaheim for cheaper than Paradise Pier (which is expensive!). That would bring the cost down a little for Disneyland Half and Tinker Bell weekends! I’m itching to do Wine and Dine and Expedition Everest — maybe next year!!
