That’s a change for the HS section of the half btw. Doesn’t seem substantial in terms of the amount of time there but probably working around the construction.
pleasantly surprised with the course change. Fully expected park time to be cut for the blizzard beach parking lot. So would rather not run the parking lot, but I’ll take it.
Hopefully this part is not a cluster. This is the tunnel from Muppets to Star Wars land, and has a dividing wall. But I can see the entrance and exit getting crazy just marked by cones, especially since the park is front loaded early in the race. I still don’t like this course layout, and hate the three overpasses at the end of the race going into Epcot and no lap around the world to finish the race.
Yeah, those stairs are the issue. I was watching one of the recent Disneyland videos and they went backstage near the Marketplace (where Mando meets) and then came back into the park past the Smuggler's Run extended queue (where Chewie meets). I have no idea what is backstage here in Orlando or if it's even possible - and with construction for Monster's Inc, probably not.
