I went to Walt Disney World in January 2014 for the first time. I wasn't planning on doing a race while I was there, but the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend just so happened to be the weekend I was there. So why not right? I am a huge fan of everything Disney so this was perfect! We stayed at the Saratoga Resort, and while everything was well organized and well run, the staff at Saratoga had different directions to get to the expo than anyone else. It took us over an hour to get from the Resort to the Expo because of directions that were incorrect from our front desk staff. Once we got to the Expo we came to find out that we could have gone right from the Resort to the Expo by using the special transportation given for the weekend. Other than that, the weekend was great!

The race wasn't too challenging and there were all kinds of runner levels there. All the volunteers who were there were amazing! And of course seeing all the characters made the race one of my favorite!
