The 5k is awesome! I was fortunate to be in the A corral so I got to start right as the fairy godmother does the countdown. The first mile or so is in the back lot of Epcot until you enter world showcase. Because I was in the first group to go, there weren't any lines to take pictures so I really got to take my time. I wore some fairy wings with lights attached which seemed to be a huge hit so next time I do a Disney 5k, I'll defiantly be wearing lights again! There's only 1 water stop, but that's all you need. The race is untimed so no need to feel pressure if this is your first big race. Kids 5 and up are allowed to participate so you see a lot of families running together, which is really sweet!
