Jogging at SSR/Downtown Disney

[skfulkers]

Does anyone know a good jogging route around Saratoga Springs? I've heard that the path to Downtown Disney is open now. Is this a decent place to run? Has anyone tried running/walking through Downtown Disney early in the morning (7am-ish)? I would imagine that this is ok, but I have never been thorugh Downtown Disney that early in the morning. Do they let guests go through there or do they patrol the area before the official opening at 9:00 or 9:30am?

I would love to start at Saratoga Springs and run to the end of the West Side and back. Does anyone know what sort of distance that would be?

Thanks,

Steve

One piece of advice... if there's no sidewalk, don't jog there. I can't tell you how many people I've nearly plowed down in my bus because they were jogging down the middle of a busy road with corners and blind spots.

Once when we were staying at the Doubletree, we did some running/walking from the Doubletree through DTD to the West Side. I think from SSR to West Side might be about a mile. There is another path near Cirque that goes over to OKW, plus it hooks up with the cart path for the golf course over to SSR. Not really supposed to use the cart path, but really early in the AM might not be a problem. It is real cool to run through DTD early in the morning when no one is there other than staff doing gardening, cleaning up after the PI people, etc.

We're staying at SSR in June, so we'll be doing this path again. I think my husband got in 3 miles from Doubletree to DTD, through DTD, around the DTD hotels and back to the Doubletree.

Whatever you do, stay on the walkways and sidewalks. Don't run on the roads. You'll see signs along Buena Vista Drive that say no jogging along the road.
