If you were hoping to run the Walt Disney World Marathon or Half Marathon only to be disappointed that they had sold out, listen up.

Due to an overwhelming fan response after a recent episode of ABC's Extreme Weight Loss, runDisney announced the 'Goofy Giveback' giving runners a chance to participate in the 2015 Walt Disney World Marathon and Half Marathon.

The third annual USTA Collegiate Clay Court Invitational happens October 30 through November 2 at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.

The event is hosted by the Florida State men's tennis program and is expected to include more than 40 teams (men and women) from around the United States.

Florida State's men's team is ranked number 37 and will be joined No. 15 Florida, No. 23 USF, No. 55 Miami, and No. 69 UCF. Defending national champion Southern California is also scheduled for the event.

Each time I travel to Walt Disney World the trip tend to end up having it's own special theme depending on the special event we're attending or maybe even holidays that will occur during the trip. My favorite time to visit is during the fall, and today I've got 5 Magic Kingdom Must-Dos for Halloween time travel to make your trip full of seasonal glee.

More changes are coming to another long-time attraction at the Walt Disney World Resort.

This time the change is happening at Disney's Hollywood Studios as the Studio Backlot Tour is closing for good on September 27.

Rumors were starting to swirl in recent weeks about the possible closing of the attraction, but Disney confirmed the news last week saying only that the Backlot Tour is closing to make way for new development.

If you've ever dreamed of being an astronaut and blasting off into outer space, there's an attraction at Epcot that you can't miss. Of course we're talking about Mission: Space where you can be part of a cadet crew heading into deep space.

Mission: Space opened in 2003 and was built in the former location of Horizons, which closed in 1999. The ride is meant to simulate what it would feel like to train as an astronaut for the first manned mission to Mars on the X-2 Deep Space Shuttle.

Every Princess needs some comfy clothes for just kicking around in, and these cozy knits with pops of bright pink let everyone know who really runs the castle. Keep the whole ensemble low key with some sweet Mickey Mouse Icon Earrings, and pull it all together with a Disney Sketch Leather Crossbody Bag by Dooney & Bourke. What's best about these new fashions? Disney made them in plus size too.

A group of Disney VoluntEARS known as BlanketEARS are working hard to make handmade items to donate to local organizations in Central Florida.

The VoluntEARS dedicate their time to knit, crochet, and stitch baby hats, scarves, pillowcases, and blankets for babies, kids, and other residents in the area.

The BlanketEARS have been working together in the group for the past seven years and the group was initially formed to knit caps for soldiers who were stationed overseas.

One of the new special events for this year's Epcot Food and Wine Festival has already gone through a schedule change.

The nighttime party, Epcot Food and Wine Late Nights Live, was originally scheduled for Tuesday and Thursday nights during the Festival, but is now only available on Thursday nights.

The three-hour street party takes place every Thursday evening beginning at 9:45 p.m. and it lasts until 1 a.m. The party is located between the United Kingdom Pavilion and World Showcase Plaza.

If you've visited any of the theme parks at the Walt Disney World Resort you many have noticed temporary safety railings atop many of the buildings.

According to a post at WDW News Today, Disney has started installing these temporary safety railings in an effort to meet OSHA safety regulations.

While there is no word yet on whether or not the temporary railings will be replaced with permanent fall protection railings, it is likely that Disney will at least keep the temporary railings up to satisfy OSHA regulations.

One of the residents at Epcot's The Seas with Nemo & Friends might be the most well-traveled manatee ever.

His name is Lil Joe and the 25-year-old manatee has lived at several zoos and theme parks around the country.

He was first rescued back in 1989 in the Halifax River and his first temporary home was at Sea World in Orlando.

He went on to live in San Deigo, Cincinnati, and Tampa. In all, Lil Joe has lived in five different locations in his lifetime.
