Disney guests should expect transportation delays during Marathon Weekend

The Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend is fast approaching. Guests who will be on Disney property January 4-8 will need to be aware of transportation changes as they make their way to the Disney parks.

There will be some road closures in the area. Several major roads (Osceola Parkway, Victory Way, World Drive, and Epcot Center Drive) will have restrictions beginning Friday, January 6, at 4:00am through the morning hours each day. On Friday, January 6, and Saturday, January 7, roads will close at 11:00pm to prepare for the Half Marathon and Marathon the next mornings.



Walt Disney World buses will still be running, though travel time to the parks will be longer than normal, as the buses will have to take alternate routes. Guests who are driving their own cars should expect significant delays.

Leah grew up in a little farming town in Illinois, right on the Mississippi River. Her Chicago-born husband, David, left the city for her, and they're now raising their three children (Jacob, Jonah and Lydia) just 12 miles from her hometown. As the Senior Editor of the DIS (wdwinfo.com), Leah spends a lot of time writing about, reading about, and discussing Disney. So, it should come as no surprise that one of her family's favorite ways to spend time is going to Walt Disney World and traveling on Disney Cruise Line. She also enjoys shopping, watching movies with her husband and doing crafts with and for her kids.
