Yes, sporting events take place all year-long, probably because Florida’s awesome year round weather. WDW/ESPN has a way of organizing events, so it’s less chaotic. They provide transportation at designated times & schedule events at certain places on property as not to affect people not participating in the sporting events.

Personally the only sporting event I’m into is runDisney, unless you count in High School when I was “Powder Puff” football quarter back & that’s only because the other girls couldn’t hold the football, much less throw it.

To help give you an idea of the events months, I’ll list the heaviest months/events according to the upcoming 2014 Calendar: Hard to believe but — Jan & Feb are filled with tons of events from:

• Marathons
• Baseball Classic

• In October something unique happens at Downtown Disney—the 7^th Annual Dragon Boat Festival: Twenty paddlers move in unison, combining strength with teamwork in a boat whose elaborate design originates in ancient China. It’s all about teamwork with a maximum of 20 paddlers, including a steersperson (cox) and a drummer. What a great site to see while visiting WDW.
• Also in October, runDisney hosts the “Tower of Terror” 10 Miler Race that most of us are participating in. It’s sure to be a ghouly event. I hope to see my Disney gal peeps & meet some new peeps while there! Good luck & watch out for surprises around every turn………..WOOT!
