At the time of booking a $200 package deposit, the cost of optional insurance, and the full cost of the bibs will be due.
By taking advantage of this special offer, you have a guaranteed spot for the select runDisney event of your choice, in your races of choice. By guaranteeing your spot now, you won’t have to worry about whether you’re off work on registration day, or events selling out before you are able to register. Again, you are GUARANTEED your spot by taking advantage of this special offer. After booking your package with Pirate and Mermaid Vacations you will receive an email from Active.com and runDisney prior to general registration opening with a custom link to complete your race registration. This link will also let you purchase any special marathon pre-sale merchandise and chEAR squad reservations.
Also by taking advantage of this special offer, you’ll have the option to purchase travel insurance – which includes coverage of your race registration if you have to cancel your trip for a covered reason! This is an amazing add-on option as bibs are non transferable and non refundable, and  because runDisney no longer offers race deferral.  With this insurance, your bib and vacation are covered if you have to cancel for any insured reason.
Unlike other travel providers that may have similar offerings right now, Pirate and Mermaid Vacations has NO MINIMUM night stay requirement outside of runDisney’s race package requirements. This ensures your ability to book the runDisney package that works best for your party  and budget at theWalt Disney World® Resort of your choice. And, if an applicable sale comes out between now and your race weekend, your Adventure Coordinator will get it applied to your stay!
