The WDW Half Marathon was held on January 10, 2015. The weather at the start was a bit chilly (30s), but warmed up once the sun came out (and once you started moving).

PROS:
+ Great SWAG - love the shirt material/quality/sizing (gender specific), amazing finisher medals.
+ Transportation to/from the race if you stayed at a Disney World Host Resort (for WDW Marathon Weekend that is every Disney hot on property).
+ The course is great - since the parks are so spread out, you have a good amount of time on highway roads, but plenty of entertainment to make the miles go by quickly. Plus, it's nice to be on those roads to help spread out all of the runners and clear up congestion.
+ Character stops and entertainment (DJs, marching bands, etc).
+ Plenty of aid stations that are well-manned by lots of volunteers - powered & water at each.
+ Fireworks at the start of every corral.
+ Post-race snacks - bottled water & powerade (multiple flavors), banana, and runner box with chips, cheese dip, moist towelette, dried fruit, Skittles, etc.
+ Running through Magic Kingdom - and through the castle - is an amazing experience, plus going through Epcot as well is a fun time.
+ Fairly flat course (a few overpasses and ramps that were tough, like around mile 10 or 11).

CONS:
- Be prepared to wait a long time in your corral if you are farther back (like me).
- They ran out of Clif shots at the 8.5 mile station and didn't have anything as a back up (like they did for the marathon the next day) - either they weren't prepared for the number of runners (which seems unlikely for runDisney), or runners were being greedy and taking more than one. This is the only reason they lost a star for aid stations.
- Bottle necking at certain points of the course (especially going through the castle, which turned into a slow walk from crowding)

runDisney puts on races like no other. I always have a great time running the course, meeting new people, and just enjoying my time out there. It's pretty awesome getting a chance to run through the parks. While the cons are things I'm used to, or things I'm not concerned too much with, just thought it was important to point out for other runners considering the race. I don't run these races for time, but for fun, so things like bottlenecking could really frustrate runners who have a time goal in mind. I would definitely recommend this race for a first time half marathoner, but it's also fun for all levels.
