Registration: This opens up months before and sells out quickly. Make sure to sit by your computer and hit refresh to be able to register. It's frustrating. It is also pricey. I was doing the 10k as part of the Glass Slipper, which includes the half marathon. Included with registration is a bib, chip timing, and tech shirt, plus character opportunities on the course.

Parking / Transportation: Free parking available at Epcot in lot near start. If you were staying on Disney property a shuttle bus was available. From the parking lot to the race events security was set up searching bags.

Participants were encouraged to gather near the corrals, coffee available, DJ & dance party happening. 30-45 minutes prior to start time we could get to our corrals. Many port-a-potties.

Appeared to be more runners than the 5k.

Start: Corral start. Assigned bibs based on submitted times. Could start in your assigned corral or a lower letter. After the National Anthem, on trumpet, the first corral was off, on time, with a fireworks salute. The next corral started a few minutes later and so on, each with fireworks.

Course / Character stops: Started off on the back roads for a small out and back. The roads were well maintained, no potholes and all hazards or tight spots were marked. Each mile was marked with a sign and clock. Water on the course, in paper cups. Not many spectators as park entrance is limited.

Characters on course: White Rabbit, Fairies, Circus people, Jiminy Cricket, Aristocat cat, Baseball Donald, Princess Minnie, Space Goofy

Finish clearly marked with a banner and clock. Medals placed around your neck. Table for bottled water and Powerade. Proceeded to get finishers photo, then as a Glass Slipper Challenger, we had to walk through a separate tent for some verification, then on to post race banana & snack box. (corn chips, processed cheese dip, applesauce, drink mix, Krave cereal, luna bar and dried fruit)

There were characters available for post race photos, some concessions as well.

Overall: pricey, but fun & flat course
