If you’re spending your vacation stay at the Pop Century or Art of Animation Resort, you can start off your morning (of cap off your evenings) with a walk around Hourglass Lake.
Epcot Resort
Your international travels to Epcot will be filled with tastes, sounds, and sights from cultures all across the globe. Make your adventure a globetrotting one by getting your steps in on Disney’s BoardWalk Canal Run, Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resorts Run, Crescent Lake Run, or Epcot Resorts Blvd. and Buena Vista Drive Run.
Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa
At Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa, relaxation and fitness go hand-in-hand. There are so many ways to stay active during your stay. Whether you prefer a walk along the beach or a more structured class, there are options for everyone.
The resort is home to the Mikimiki Fitness Center. Open 24 hours a day, it is a full-service facility designed to meet your wellness needs.
If you’re looking for something different, you can also take part in Fitness and Yoga classes during your stay, (ranging from classes like Ocean Yoga to Beach Boot Camp and Paddleboard Yoga) or take part in the specialized training customized and designed by a professional specifically for you.
Disney Cruise Line
While you may wave goodbye to land for a couple of days during your upcoming Disney Cruise Line vacation, there’s no reason to leave your fitness goals on the dock!
Whether you’ve got stacks of medals at home, or you’re a runDisney newbie, the Castaway Cay 5K is the perfect way to maintain your fitness goals on vacation. All runners, walkers, and vacationers are invited to attend!
And here’s a pro tip for all of you runDisney aficionados: If you complete a Walt Disney World runDisney race before or after your visit to Castaway Cay, you can get a totally unique medal just for that achievement!
Disney’s Hilton Head Island Resort
If your home away from home is Disney’s Hilton Head Island Resort, then look no further for all of your fitness needs.
Guided Nature Walks
One of the many great things about staying at Disney’s Hilton Head Island Resort is the beautiful island it calls home. On a Guided Nature Walk, you can learn about your natural surroundings. From the beaches to the marsh, you’ll explore all of the wonders of the island.

The island features hundreds of miles of scenic bike trails, including a 1.25-mile path that leads right to Disney’s Beach House. And with bike rentals on site, it’s the perfect way to go the extra mile on your vacation.
