Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend

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.

During the registration whats the difference between the events with a # in front of them? This is my first time registering for a RunDisney event but I looked at the process with the WnD and didn't know if there was a difference or not?
The races with the # are for deferrals from prior year races.

No, my sister signed up for this one and was just curious, but she's not a deferral! Will that matter? I'm sure they've taken her money as well so she won't get a refund!
I would recommend she call RunDisney. My understanding is that they will check the prior year deferral lists and will cancel any entries that are not valid.
