My experience at this race was great. The t-shirts are very colorful and fun to wear after the race. The expo is amazing and worth visiting early on so you can get your merchandise early. With a 5:45 a.m. start time it is a bit early for some people in my family, but I prefer having races done and over with early on in the day. The race stays on property and takes you through Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure so it is a fun atmosphere all the way around. There are many character stops along the way but sometimes the lines can be a little bit longer for the more popular characters. Disney does have a 16 minute mile pacing requirement and I have heard that they do enforce it during the 5k even though it is not an official timed event. I would highly recommend this race to both beginners and elite athletes. The only downside is that there is no official corrals so the walkers and runners are all lumped together at the beginning and there are sometimes some tight turns to navigate. All in all this race is amazing and a lot of fun. The medals are so cute!
