Have the 22 routes been released yet ? I'm interested in the half.
I have no clue what Gummi Bears are.
Do they change that much from the W&D 1/2 usually?They have not been released yet. Disney doesn't release the course maps until they release the event guide, and that will probably be in early/mid December.
I'm loving all the 80s/90s kids on this thread.
My first Disney marathon, Launchpad McQuack was out on the course (I heard later that he rotated with Darkwing Duck, who I also love, but not as much as DuckTales).
I would die for a DuckTales cast photo. Or Rescue Rangers. Or TaleSpin.
After my Disney half, I specifically went to Animal Kingdom to find Scrooge McDuck for a photo - we "talked" about his crazy nephew Donald and how Scrooge needed his own race with a medal to show up that duck. Instead, he showed me the giant trophy that he had, and I admitted that it was way better than my tiny medal.
The half course for MW has always been start at Epcot, run up to MK, come back and finish at Epcot. W&D is differentDo they change that much from the W&D 1/2 usually?

Half marathon is showing as open, in case anyone needs in!
There have traditionally been two half marathon routes: Princess and MW have roughly the same (up to MK and back to Epcot), and W&D/Star Wars have the other (down from MK parking lot to AK/HS/Epcot). The Star Wars weekend is done now, replaced by Springtime Surprise Weekend, which is still a surprise since we don't know anything about that one aside from the dates.Do they change that much from the W&D 1/2 usually?
They were still making changes before the marathon was over !The marathon course changed significantly in 2020, so it's possible that they could make changes based on what did/did not work for that course.
Chicago marathon registration is open if anyone has that one in mind! I didn't get a lottery spot last time so hoping this one works out!
Wow, I had not realized how big of a gap there was… Now, I am almost looking forward to turn 50… in a few years If only Boston could do the sameThey also have time qualifier spots which are easier than Boston (at least for older runners), so that's worth a look if you want to run Chicago.
