3:00AM Wake up, sneak out of room, change into running gear in the BW lobby restroom, bus to 10k start, arrived at 3:40, photo with Goofy at 3:44 and Mickey/Minnie at 4:04, got coffee, potty break, then hung out in corral until race started at 5:30, see full race report here. Some good advice: if you want character pictures before the race, try to get on the first bus there.
