I need some advice from POFQ experts.
I am running the WDW Marathon (well at least the 1/2) this coming January. Last year I stayed at the BWI the night before, and getting to the start from the room was the devil. As I stood in the starting corral (after a journey of about 1 hour) I saw many runners scurrying into the starting corrals from POFQ and Old Key West.
My questions are many:
1. The race begins in front of Old Key West, on both sections of the road that runs between OKW and POFQ, and EPCOT. How far is it from POFQ to this road (for the life of me, even with all the times I've been at WDW, I cannot recall)?
2. Is ther a direct road route from POFQ to this area where the start is? I recall there is a ditch filled with water between the resorts and the road, so hopefully there is a bridge or two over the ditch to the road.
3. What buildings in POFQ are closest to OKW and the starting area?
4. Does anyone know where I can find a detailed map of POFQ?
It seems to me that a room at POFQ the night before the race would require a 10 minute walk max to get to the starting corrals. Sure beats a 1 hour excursion over hill and dale.
Thanks in advance.
