This was a great race if you're a Star Wars fan and just want to have a good time. The corrals are packed as always - even in B it took us a long time to get some room around us (us = husband). The course was more scenic than previous Disney halfs, as the course started at EPCOT and ran to ESPN Wide World of Sports. This made it a great decision - and a terrible decision. At the completion of the race, runners and spectators alike had to wait for chartered buses to transport back to EPCOT to their cars - terrible experience.
Shirts for DIsney races are always awesome - I love the V-Neck Women's cut no the Champion shirts. The designs were great and they shirts themselves last forever.
As far as seeing Star Wars characters - this race didn't disappoint. Upon entering Hollywood Studios, a line of at least 30 characters were there for high fives, selfies, and interaction. Bottom line? We'd run it again - the force is with us!
