Chris 's thoughts:

I have ran this Marathon twice as I am a local resident and ran the Full one time then wanted to complete the Dopey Challenge once in my life so I had to do it for a second time to complete the challenge. I say "Meh" on this race because when you think of the Run Disney race you are lured in by the mystique of running your race through the parks but out of the 26.2 miles you run maybe 1 or 2 is actually done in a park. The rest is composed of Osceola Parkway, back roads, parking lots, and Wide World of Sports walkways. There are lots of spots where course cutters love to make the experience cheaper just so they can obtain a finishers medal which they feel entitled to even if they don't actually earn it because in their eyes they paid for the medal. That is a personal response and I understand many disagree that it doesn't cheapen the award. It is a great experience for one or two times but not an annual visit.
