minnie marathon 15k questions

[Buttercup]

Hello,
I have a few questions for the 15k veterans please:

Which resort is the event host hotel?

Do I understand correctly that you have to stay there to get disney bus transportation? Otherwise you can drive to either epcot or AK and get a bus between start and finish?

What time do you recommend arriving for the 6:15a start?

I have read a few race reports that there weren't enough porta-potties at the start. Is this true? What are they thinking?

Did you enjoy this event? Would you recommend it to a Disney running junkie?

Thanks,
Buttercup

AKL

Yes and yes.

What time do you recommend arriving for the 6:15a start?

I have no idea what time I arrived last year. We did drive to Epcot, then bussed over to AK for the start.

I have read a few race reports that there weren't enough porta-potties at the start. Is this true? What are they thinking?

VERY true. Knowing Disney, they were saving a few $s.

Did you enjoy this event? Would you recommend it to a Disney running junkie?

I had an absolute blast last year, and vowed to come back every year (if possible). I would highly recommend it. The route is alot more fun (than the Half) since you are doing the end of the full marathon. At least I think so.

Yes, the course is the end of WDW marathon course. It should be interesting seeing that part when I haven't done the 1/2 the day before and before 17 miles earlier!

I sould have alot more energy and a lot less heat than this years Goofy.
