Was hoping for a better view along the course but a good bit is through neighborhoods without water views.
The Aid stations were a wreck had to stop and wait to get fluids which is a problem when its 70 degrees /100% humidity at race start.
Parking in all of Key West is poroblematic. if you stay at a hotel there spring for the included parking to make your life easier. And be sure to stop at Blond Giraffe for Key Lime Pie in the way down!

WDW Marathons are always great events. Start the race with fireworks(literally) and a run through all 4 parks including up Main Street in Magic Kingdom. Even the miles running along service roads are kept interesting with Character photos and DJs.
I just wish they would switch back to handing out gels instead of the Energy Jelly beans.

Yet another great run at Disney. Where else can you get your picture with BB-8 or Ewoks while running a Half marathon through the happiest place on earth?
Being in Central Florida in April you definitely be aware that the temperature and Humidity can get pretty high so if you are traveling in be ready and be sure to hydrate before and during the race. Luckily Disney is great about having lots of water/powerade stops.
