Disney marathon weekend

In almost a matter of hours after the smoke cleared from its New Year’s Eve fireworks, Walt Disney World abruptly lurched from its busiest time of the year to one of its leanest, as holiday vacationers flew home and children across the country returned to school.

This weekend, an estimated 110,000 visitors are descending on the giant resort — more people than attended last week’s Capital One Bowl or will attend next week’s International Builders Show.

They are in town for the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend, the largest in a rapidly expanding roster of races that Disney is now scheduling in hopes of boosting off-season attendance at its theme parks in Orlando and Southern California.

The effect is substantial. Disney says that four of every five registrants for this weekend’s events come from outside Central Florida. Between a third and a half of them have booked rooms in Disney hotels — and they will spend an average of three nights on company property.
