If you're planning to run, walk, or cheer at the 2027 Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend (Feb 25 – Mar 1, 2027), your moment to register starts June 2, 2026 at 10am ET. That's three weeks from now as of writing.

Registration for runDisney's marquee weekends has historically sold out — sometimes in hours, sometimes in days. Princess Weekend in particular fills fast because of its costumed culture, supportive community, and the Fairy Tale Challenge (10K + Half Marathon).

What to have ready by June 2

• An ID account on rundisney.com — create or log into your Disney account in advance. Last-minute account creation while a registration window is live is the fastest way to lose your spot.
• Proof of time for corral assignment — a recent half marathon, marathon, or 10K finish. Required for corrals A–E. New runners go to the back corrals.
• Credit card ready — registration is instant payment. Disney holds 5K spots at one tier, 10K at another, Half Marathon at a third, Fairy Tale Challenge at a fourth.
• Decision on distances — 5K only? Half Marathon? Both (Fairy Tale Challenge)? Decide before you log in, because the clock will be ticking.

Should you join Club runDisney?

Club runDisney members get earlier registration access — typically Gold and Platinum members register a week ahead of the general public. For Princess specifically, this means the difference between guaranteed entry and a hold-your-breath general window.

If you're planning to run multiple runDisney weekends per year, the math on a Gold or Platinum membership ($150–$600/year) gets reasonable fast. If this is your first or only runDisney, the general window June 2 is your best bet.

"My biggest tip: have everything in one browser tab open and logged in 30 minutes before the window. The general window is fast." — Sabrina, our 16-time half marathoner

What our meetup adds

We host the Deaf Dreamers runDisney meetup as a community space, not as a registration service (Disney handles that directly). What we add:

• Pre-race webinar — our free May 17 webinar covers registration logistics in ASL.
• Hotel coordination — group rates at Disney resorts close to the start.
• Bib pickup buddy system — so first-timers aren't navigating the expo alone.
• Cheer locations — published meetup spots at mile 4 and the finish line.
• Group photo — at Cinderella Castle after the race, in our shirts.

What if you miss the June 2 window?

Disney holds some inventory back for charity runners (Blood Cancer United is the 2027 partner) and travel-agency-affiliated packages (yes, that means us). If you miss the general window, message us — we may have options.

And if Princess isn't the right race for you, our calendar widget on the runDisney page tracks all four 2026-2027 weekends with their respective registration dates. Wine & Dine and Springtime Surprise are also available routes to your first runDisney medal.
