Walt Disney World v. Disneyland Resort runDisney Half Marathons in the Parks

One complaint I hear all the time is how the Walt Disney World Half Marathon courses are better than the Disneyland Resort Half Marathon courses because the Walt Disney World Half Marathon courses spend more time in the theme parks. With this being the week of the Princess Half Marathon, I thought it might be fun to examine the courses to see which courses offer the most time in the theme parks. Sound fun?

For purposes of this initial examination, I’m going to count time spent running backstage as part of running in the theme parks. For me, parking lots don’t count. Since I haven’t run any of the Walt Disney World Half Marathons, I’m going on information I was able to find and the race maps themselves to make guesses. I’ve tried to be fair in figuring out when you enter and leave the theme parks…
