Can't I just live at Disney ?

Here are my thoughts for what it is worth on the posts I have read above.
1. TOTALLY disagree with requiring a 10k or longer time to initially register for the race and then if it doesn't fill up let the other people register. We have all done our "first" half marathon and many, many, many people like me had NEVER done a race before deciding to sign up. I attacked my training like I did for my masters degree and finished in the alloted time. (Now I was hoping to win my age division since I got the graduate degree with a 4.0 but it didn't workout that way for me!)
2. Would also love run Disney to have a "participation" medal and a "finisher" medal if they absolutely think everyone has to have a medal.
3. As a size 4 gal I am in awe of my plus size sisters who get out on the course and give it their all...I cheer them on every chance I get! And MANY of them smoke my a** during a race!
4. Rudeness on the course...can't say what I would like since it would get deleted but let's just suffice it to say these folks aren't just rude on the course is my bet!
5. Disney has perfected the art of separating people from their money...if they make it we buy it. I don't buy every item they put out but I don't always like the shirt that comes with registration and my "I did it shirt" is a Christmas card must.
6. And I will be back next year...for...one...more...time! Next year is the ....gulp...big 50 and DH and I celebrate 25 years of wedded bliss ! Hoping for this last one he will dress up as a character !
