    Is anyone else doing this? I signed up, along with my wife and parents! This should be fun! This would be fun for non-runners as well. As long as you can complete the 5K (3ish miles) at a pace of 16 minutes per mile, you could walk quickly and finish.

    I just wish WDW was bicycle friendly. It's got to be one of the worst places in America to ride a bike, because basically it is not allowed.
