Loree 's thoughts:

I love Disney. Plain and simple.

This is my second Disney race and I have not been let down. Registration goes out fast online seeing that RunDisney races are one of the most popular races that goes on every year. This year I opted for the 10K considering my cousins don't run and they wanted to come with me this year.

The expo was great. It was simple, fast and easy. BUT, you MUST pick up your own bib, you cannot have someone else pick it up for you so know that you're able to do this race when you sign up because you can't transfer it over to someone else.

When going up to the expo, there were so many sponsors to visit and I picked up some last minute energy goo and blocs since I know that I would be running out for the year. They usually have specials during these expos so I suggest you get some while you're at one. Disney expos are filled with Disney enthusiasts people and runners alike, there are alot of merchandise that you can buy while you're here as well. I was not disappointed with the expo as I kept on coming back for two days straight.

Parking is okay with Disney runs but I suggest taking ART which is their free shuttle to the start line at Disney race. You're definitely in good hands if you were to just take their shuttle. You let them know what hotel you are staying at at the transportation booth and they will point out the hotels, if yours is not a participating hotel, in the nearby area that you can wait and go for the shuttle. This is good for the whole weekend, so don't lose your ticket!

With the elevation, there is one big hill after exiting the Disneyland start line but other than that, you're good to go. It may be a bit frustrating only because people WILL be stopping to take pictures with characters, in front of distinct landmarks in Disneyland since you are going to be running the majority of the race inside the park so I wouldn't suggest trying to PR in this race because you tend to also lose the enjoyment of actually running inside the park.

The shirts are great but the medals are even better. RunDisney race medals are HUGE. One of the many reasons I love this race and I find that it is worth it. The management of the race is great, it was not difficult to find the start line and to find people afterwards.

I highly suggest running at least ONE Disney race!
