Infuriating how he ran the 5k and wanted to do the 10k, so they hooked him up and gave him a bib.

That's not how it works, as we all know.

Thats how it works when Disney wants to advertise.

Finished earlier and got that email. Did they shorten the course? That humidity at the end was getting bad.

That seems odd. It’s only 76F as of 11:45, and the fees like is 74

Seems they cut the Blizzard Beach parking lot section.

It's been really humid. And storms scheduled to begin around 1 PM. Then colder weather. If only the race was next weekend.

We were exiting BB when we heard they cut the course. A lot of people zig-zagging their way to Hollywood Studios. It was warm, but not sweltering. I’d be pretty angry had I missed the cutoff.

Runner in the Dopey themed Sparkle skirt, "why did I do this?".



Amazing photos, especially of Everest. Cool to see the different corrals and number of runners in them.
