You’ve trained.  You’ve prepped.  You’ve packed.  And you’ve finally finished all 13.1 miles of the RunDisney Wine and Dine Half Marathon.  What are you going to do next?  Celebrate at the Finish Line Party, of course!

Just after you get your medal, there will be water, bottled Powerade, and the RunDisney box of post-race food.  It usually contains cheese & crackers and some fruit gummies.  You should begin rehydrating immediately and try to eat some of the food as well.

There will be changing areas at the finish line if you’d like to change into something slightly fresher than the clothing you just ran 13.1 miles in.  You might want to bring a string backpack or other bag to haul your sweaty clothing as the plastic bag RunDisney provides for checked items is not super-comfy to carry for hours.  You’ll need a photo ID (you’ll even be carded for the “free” drink that you can get right at the finish line using the tab from your race bib), your finish line wristband, your race bib (don’t trash it yet!), the $10 Disney gift card included with your packet, and some extra money to spend because that $10 gift card is not going to be enough!  Remember that you’ll be going through security bag check with all this stuff on your way into the party.  I don’t envy those security guards!
