I'd definitely be a fan of wave starts at runDisney races. Gives me more time to wait in pre-race character lines while the earlier corrals are headed to the start .
But in all seriousness ... I just did a race that had 11,000+ finishers. So about rD 5K/10K size, right? They had the wave 1 and wave 2 corrals separated, and everything was fine ... and I didnt even show up until wave 1 corrals were starting.
I dont know that it would help with the on-couse character stops, because those long lines come from accumulation of people, but it'll definitely help with pre-race porta potty lines.
You don't have to be in your corral at the very start of the race, no matter what the race guide says. I aim to walk into my corral about when corral B is starting. This gives me five minutes or so to ditch my sweats, tie my shoes, and get ready to run. Yes, getting there earlier gives you a position closer to the front of your corral and is less stressful if you stress out over this sort of thing, but it's not required.
