Now half way to the MK entrance they diverted us thru a back stage area to enter the MK Main Street from the side gate next to Tony's. It has been a very long time since I was at a rope drop and ran down Main Street to an attraction. It was nice to jog down without a hurry to get anywhere.
They divide Main Street in half with the spectators on the Emporium side. There were quite a lot of spectators cheering on there friends and family. It was almost like any normal day in the park. There are also quite a lot people along the course at all of the major viewing points. Viewing points being all 3 resorts, TTC, Epcot's parking lot and entrance and exits.
There were of few volunteers along the course that would help with picture taking along with the Marathonfoto guys at key points . Yes that is dad on my shirt. He ran with me and later I really really needed his help.
