EPCOT to Open at 10 a.m. on March 1 for Princess Half Marathon

The later opening reflects race operations that trigger early road closures, heavier traffic, increased crowds.

Overview

  • Early Entry at EPCOT on March 1 will begin at 9:30 a.m. for eligible hotel guests.
  • The Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend runs February 26–March 2, 2026, with the half marathon scheduled for Sunday, March 1.
  • The event lineup includes a 5K, a 10K, and the Princess Half Marathon, with an additional challenge option noted by Disney-focused outlets.
