01.09.11 - Disneyworld Orlando (4:53:24) - A great fun run since this is not a runner's marathon. All the photo ops with the Disney characters were proof of that. All the volunteers were Disney employees so not impressed with that. Plenty of water stops. The route was repetitive and loopy. We did so many round-a-bouts around the parking lot, I wanted to just get in the car and drive back to the hotel. Mickey medal was very cheesy but a great practice run after I had not run in over a month.

nainah, don't really get your comment regarding looping around the parking lot. Other than starting behind Epcot and running back into it again during the first few miles there is no looping back at all. Regarding the medal, it is the Disney World marathon...Mickey is always on the medal. :-)
