I did read another blog post of how it went down later in the day and runners were actually running on their own the half marathon.

So cool to get those free tickets and still get a good (albeit unofficial) race at the end.<br />I'm heading to Orlando for the theme parks at the end of January and I'm hoping the weather will be warmish though I've been there that time of year before and was fairly chilly!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12566278530342212908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2189875022254484779.post-875654014097925262017-01-10T07:16:31.549-05:002017-01-10T07:16:31.549-05:00I loved how so many runners (including you) made t...I loved how so many runners (including you) made this into a win. When I saw the race was canceled, I felt so badly. I travelled to Disney 6 years ago with my family to run this race and I can say I would have been so disappointed!

I do agree you earned the medal and do not fault Disney at all for giving them out (what else are they supposed to do with them?). Plus, the options for runners were very generous, with deferral, transfer, the park passes, etc. You are going to rock it out at MB!
