runDisney’s all about making spirits bright by announcing new GIFTS!

Christmas has arrived at Disney World!
Disney’s recently made lots of exciting announcements for the upcoming holiday season, and we’ve barely made it into fall. We’ve just found out when we can start booking holiday fireworks dessert parties and got to sneak a peek and the planned holiday merchandise, what more could we ask for? Oh, that’s right… more presents!
It’s almost time to “sleigh” the competition during the most “run”-derful all-new event just in time for the holidays. Disney’s gearing up for the first ever runDisney Virtual 12Ks of Christmas! This first-of-its-kind virtual event features three 4K races and a challenge, all hosted by some of your favorite Disney friends. And they’re offering you a chance to earn a few extra presents to keep your spirits merry and bright!
