One of the most unique things about runDisney events are the character photo opportunities. These magical experiences are set up in all events from the 5Ks to the WDW Marathon. You will find the popular characters that you see in the parks on a regular basis, but you will also find some very unique characters as well. I’ve seen Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum, they Hyennas from the Lion King, and Flora, Fauna & Merryweather from Sleeping Beauty! Here are some of my favorite photos:
Aurora, Prince Phillip, Flora, Fauna & Merryweather
Li Shang, Mushu & Mulan
Lilo & Stitch
While all of these photo stops are great, I think my overall favorite of all the characters are the gravediggers. I’ve never stopped for a photo because the line is always REALLY long, but everyone always looks like they are having a blast. Maybe I’ll just have to run faster for the next race so I will have more of a time cushion to wait in that line.
Now if we could just get an Aristocats photo op set up, that would be my ultimate runDisney experience!
What is your favorite character photo op during a Disney race? Is there a character you would like to see?
I love your Aristocats idea! I am thinking I want to dress up as Marie at the Tinkerbell 1/2
I LOVE that!! You have to send me pics if you do!
Love your pictures.I am attending the tower of terror 10 miler marathon in september in wdw hoping that sone rare characters will attend.Do you think they will its a night marathon?
Thanks Mike! Even with the night races, Disney still goes all out with the character opportunities. I’m hoping they will go all out for the inaugural year of this race! See ya in September
