I love this race. In fact, 2014 was my 6th straight Disney Marathon, and it gets better every year. It's the perfect opportunity to see parts of Disney that you don't usually get a chance to see.
This was, by far, my best Disney Marathon. Even though it was part of the Dopey Challenge I ran really well. The weather somewhat cooperated, but a couple degrees cooler would have been nice. They changed up the corrals this year, which was a huge improvement. It also seems that they added a lot of porta potties along the route. I never had to wait in a line for one.
The on course volunteers are spectacular, and the aid stations are frequent and very well stocked. And there are plenty of photo opportunities along the way if that what you're looking for.
The course itself is about as flat as a marathon can be. There are one or two slight hills, but if they weren't in a marathon you wouldn't even notice them.
