The course is flat -- no hills whatsoever -- and fast because the entire course is on asphalt. The cutoff time of four hours clearly is set to encourage casual runners or walkers, but I also met some folks who were doing the marathon to try to PR or qualify for Boston or NY because of its speed.
I had only two very minor quibbles with the course. First, there were a couple short stretches that were pitch dark. I was power walking rather than running (my middle aged knees and back won't take that much pounding any more), but if I'd been running, I'd definitely have been worried about tripping.
Second, there was only one gel shot station on the half course. I'd brought my own supply, so I was fine, but if I'd been depending on the race to provide what I needed, I would have been in trouble. There were plenty of water and Gatorade stations, though.

Did the course map indicate more than one gel station? I cannot recall a runDisney half that has had more than one fueling station.
