Can someone give me a breakdown of this race weekend for a COMPLETE newbie? I was super excited about this (and had talked my SIL into doing it with me) and then the Corona happened, and now all of our planning is up in the air. So, I'm doing more information gathering.
From what I've read, the 5k is a fun-run with character pics along the way? And lots (all?) of the runners really dress up for it? Is the 10k pretty much the same or is it a bit more 'running' focused? Can one of us register for both of us, or are they individual registrations? I'm assuming there are no refunds unless Disney cancels the races? Also SIL is a teacher, so her missing school is a bit more cumbersome. I think the best way for us to make the trip would be to fly out late Thursday night for the Saturday 10k (so we can actually get some sleep). Would that work for picking up bibs, etc on Friday, or do you HAVE to pick everything up sooner? Anything else I'm missing?
