Keep Moving Forward
I'd wager it's not worth the price. I haven't done it myself, but it's pretty costly. Unless your kids are under 3, its the same $120 for them it would be for you. My DW normally sleeps in and then makes it over in time to see me finish. You really can't see much at the actual start line, so you would really be giving him a send off before he treks to the start line 30-45 mins minimum before the actual race start. You wouldn't be allowed in until after the race started (5:30), so you would need to wander around/watch the start. I linked to a few reviews below from past races so you can see the pictures and get an idea of what is in there.

I'd sleep in, go catch him at the finish (if its the full, it's tough to make it over for the half) and then take the $240+ and go to character breakfast afterwards to celebrate.
Yeah we won't be doing that. Truthfully I would rather sleep in too especially with kids in tow.
