FAQS
Can the ticket component be waived?
No, the ticket is mandatory. If the runner is an Annual Passholder, they must purchase the package with the ticket component. The rooming list will be submitted with the Annual Passholder number. The Annual Passholder number will be verified to ensure it is active. After the event concludes and the tickets have not been used, they will be refunded. Other runners sharing the room with Annual Passholder must purchase tickets unless they are also an Annual Passholder, which the above will then be in effect.

Can the ticket be upgraded to an Annual Pass?
Yes, the runner can pay the difference and upgrade the ticket in the package to an Annual Pass.

Is there an extra person fee?
Yes, the 3rd and 4th adult in the room will be charged a person/per night fee. All guests in the room will be required to have the same park ticket package (Dining, Memory Maker).
