WDW Marathon weekend 5K race. Does it sell out and when (historically)?

[novafan]

I really want to do the Family 5K when we attend the WDW 2011 Marathon weekend. I'm already registered for the Mickey, and that is my first priority. But this trip is going to be a big family trip with my parents, my sister, maybe my brother, and of course my family of 5. My parents have said they would do the 5K with all of us and my sister would probably join in too so we could all do it as a family. That's 8 slots though and I'm not just ready to commit ($$$) this far out. Will it sell out and when?

Also, when do they announce the theme of the 5K?

Last year the 5K was open through August. The race always fills. This should give you plenty of time to sign up. Also, it wasn't until July when the mentioned where the race would be and the theme was announced in Aug.

Hope this helps!
