2025 Walt Disney World Marathon Merchandise: First Look at What’s Coming

Hey Disney Vacationers and Disney runners! runDisney has shared an exciting first look at the 2025 Walt Disney World Marathon merchandise. This highly anticipated collection will be available during the marathon weekend, which runs from January 8th through 12th, 2025. With all race registrations sold out, the merchandise drop has runners and Disney fans buzzing.

First Look at 2025 Walt Disney World Marathon Merchandise

Walt Disney World has revealed four exclusive photos of the marathon weekend merchandise, showcasing bold designs and commemorative pieces perfect for celebrating race achievements. While details about the full lineup remain under wraps, these first glimpses hint at standout items that participants will want to grab.

To manage the overwhelming demand, runDisney will implement a Virtual Queue system for merchandise purchases on the first day of the runDisney Health & Fitness Expo. Here’s everything you need to know.

runDisney Virtual Queue for Merchandise: How It Works

For the 2025 marathon weekend, runDisney is enhancing the shopping experience by introducing a Virtual Queue. This system aims to streamline the process and minimize wait times so runners can enjoy other Expo attractions without standing in physical lines. Here’s the essential information:

• Gold and Platinum Club runDisney Members: Members can skip the virtual queue and access an exclusive early shopping window on the first day of the Expo.
• Join from Anywhere: Guests can enter the queue from their hotel room or home if they are located within 45 miles of Walt Disney World property.
• Arrival Timing: Once in the queue, plan to arrive at the Expo with approximately 60 minutes remaining on your estimated wait time.
• QR Code Access: Each guest in the queue will receive a QR code, which they must present for entry into the merchandise shop.
• Limited Availability: Merchandise quantities are limited and may sell out, so act fast to secure your favorite items.

Why the Virtual Queue Matters

This system ensures a smoother shopping experience for participants while preserving time to explore other runDisney Health & Fitness Expo offerings, including meeting vendors and enjoying other activities. Notably, runners can hold boarding groups for both the merchandise shop and an attraction virtual queue simultaneously, making the process even more convenient.

What to Expect from the 2025 Walt Disney World Marathon Merchandise

While only a few photos have been shared so far, merchandise for past events has typically included:

• Performance apparel featuring marathon logos
• Commemorative pins
• Water bottles, hats, and accessories
• Limited-edition Disney character-themed race gear

Based on previous years, these items are not just souvenirs—they’re coveted collector’s pieces among runDisney fans.

Final Thoughts

The 2025 Walt Disney World Marathon merchandise promises to be another incredible lineup that blends Disney magic with the pride of marathon accomplishment. With the Virtual Queue in place, runners can enjoy a hassle-free experience and focus on what matters most—celebrating their journey.

Mark your calendars for January 8th through 12th, 2025, and keep an eye out for more updates. Whether you’re racing or just cheering on participants, the merchandise is sure to be a highlight of the event.

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who.

We’ll definitely be using him again.

Our experience working with Nate as our Disney vacation planner was exceptional. He was responsive and thorough. He gave us insights that made the trip go much more smoothly. We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions.  On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over.  He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip.  Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nate was absolutely the best planner I have ever had.  Will most definitely be using him again.   He took care of everything and kept me on track.  Was so very helpful in making all the dining reservations and everything.   Can't thank him enough.   He made our trip completely stress free!

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
