Fully agree with that statement. A / B / C corral runners should be slotted there based on merit (earned placement) corroborated, as in verified. A reward for all the hard work and training to achieve fast-paced times. Sadly, there are folks that buy their way into those corrals. It takes...

The races were and would be very popular if they ever fully returned. HOWEVER, Anaheim and Disney, now well over the last decade, have been in perpetual conflict. Anaheim keeping use of access to anything outside the Disney property to conduct an event (such as races since Disney cannot...

Disney is nowhere near, nor ever intended to be comparable to Tough Mudder or Spartan Race that are intentionally designed to be grueling challenges. Definitely not for the less than (so called average) or even the some of the above average. So yeah, there will be a participation drop from...

Correct! BUT! an energetic stroll that will give those in the F / G / H corrals, yes, the back of the pack, the stragglers, the folks that (for multiple reasons) not in running shape / condition the opportunity to complete an athletic event. It's Disney, as I said before Not an Olympic...

Move on? Leave? Gone? More like not in a position, readily visible, but lingering in the shadows, hanging around in the background lurking.

Yes, its Disney not going out for the Olympic Marathon qualifier. A minimum pace requirement of 18 minutes per mile is more the pace for average people, in average physical condition to enjoy an exhilarating athletic event at Disney. Reduce stress and anxiety for the F / G / H corral folks...

When it has come to Disney races guess I have always been one of the lucky ones then. I go for the challenges, wonder if that makes a difference?

There used to be KID's races, specifically for children and run at ESPN. The kid's loved it. Mickey would be at the finish along with other characters in the area. And games. Ahhhhh BUT that would mean people (families) would be having fun.

Club run Disney is just another fleece the guest's scam. Investment to return ratio is terrible. General public registration is just fine. Really want to do the event? Get online at opening, stick with it and get it done. I am surprised the races don't fill up faster as in the past.

The theming has changed but the core ride has not. People enjoy the ride, the theming is just window dressing, a distraction, as the guests enjoy the ride.

Yes, things (entertainment / distraction) that guests, fans, travelers would actually like / enjoy. Careful! you are being creative, imaginative and thinking about the visitors having fun.

Just readily available information: "Battery electric buses (BEBs) are widely regarded as a safe and sustainable alternative to internal combustion vehicles. However, the lithium-ion batteries that power them present safety risks. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the safety of...

To think that a Star Wars resort following the illustrated architecture could have been (actually could still be) built rather than the waste of money Star Cruiser. WDW has lake shore BUT ugly, eyesore, urban housing project looking structures for DVC exploitation are preferred. What happened...

Too bad Disney did not capitalize and have someone from marketing get the U.S. hockey teams to say "we are going to Disney World" after their wins and have it on tape. Would have been better than the Super Bowl spot.

Only question I see is could Disney take over the development and production of the half time shows?
