staying at Art of Animation, only doing 5k and 10k
You can definitely add up some distance in a loop between Pop Century and Art of Animation. There are paved paths circling the resorts and Hourglass Lake. I've even seen a security guard on bike patrol!I read somewhere that Pop Century has "running" paths - are they any good? I am starting to think out my last couple shake out runs (plus post half marathon day walks). Rory
I decided to try to look it up, after much digging it is a 1.38-mile loop - which is respectable for me. May need to go around 2 or 3 times, but I've done worse The security bike patrol is kind of funny though, I'll have to keep an eye out!You can definitely add up some distance in a loop between Pop Century and Art of Animation.

FWIW, my Garmin clocked it at 1.24 miles consistently while I was there in April.I decided to try to look it up, after much digging it is a 1.38-mile loop - which is respectable for me.

Oh good to know - still good enough for my needs while I am there don't plan on running long or hard.The sign on the path states 1.25 mi, so that completely agrees with your Garmin.
Staying at Kidani...was hoping to stay at Bay Lake but it was booked up at the 7 month DVC window. It's our home resort do it should be fine & we will be spending the first couple of days at the resort only so it should still be lovely.
Good luck! Hope your WL comes thru!We were hoping to stay at Bay Lake as well, and are on the wait list there. Currently we have a two bedroom at Old Key West.
Which Port Orleans?First timer here. Doing the half and trying to decide between Port Orleans and Coronado Springs. Haven't stayed at either as we usually stay at DVC Resorts.
It will most likely be a short, solo trip. Currently waitlisted at AK and SSR but not banking on it.
Where would you stay and why? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
I've done Port Orleans Riverside for marathon weekend and it was great I would highly recommend it.First timer here. Doing the half and trying to decide between Port Orleans and Coronado Springs. Haven't stayed at either as we usually stay at DVC Resorts.

Agreed, I should have mentioned - I've stay at Riverside and French Quarter for race weekends and they have both been great. I have not stayed at Coronado Springs for a race weekend yet.I've done Port Orleans Riverside for marathon weekend and it was great I would highly recommend it.
