Email runDisney and ask for one?Strange. There wasn't one in my gear bag and I did the Pixie Dust challenge.

DOes anyone know exactly what mile point the castle was? I didn't get any Castle photos in my photopass and I am going to ask for a search - I know 2 runners cut me off and jumped in front of a photographer right as we entered, but I then made a point to get the photographers exiting!
Mile 1.1 ish. The flagpole hub was 1.3 per my sis' chear squad location.
Hoping you get a pic!
THAnk you!!! I knew someone would be right on it - that's sooner than I wouldn't have guessed!
I just got the "Thank you for participating" email (which I didn't end up getting for Marathon or Princess weekends this year)...no registration link for 2018 that I can see.
Yep, I guess we're actually finishers now!Me too! So does that mean now I can finally be officially a finisher? Sweet
(although I gotta think seeing the 5k photopass code is a lil salt in the wounds right?)

I've recovered from the disappointment of the 5K...it has taken intense therapy* but I have recovered!
*shopping/coffee/etc.
Heading hotel and parking deck construction may have something to do with it! They would have to alter the courses.Wow, on the no link! What is going on with the Disneyland races? Anaheim or garden grove ( I think that is the other city ) must really be giving them a hard time.
Reading a post in the one runDisney Facebook group I am in...
Between posts here and on that group (including confirmation from the Balloon Dude that rD discussed this ahead of time with the Balloon People), runDisney did indeed cut about 0.8 miles off of the course for some people. Explanation was that they were cutting it close with needing to open the roads back up and chose to do this rather than sweep.

It sounds like the cut happened right after the Balloon Dude came up to it - they let him go on to complete the course and anyone behind him had to go the shortened route. Just really interesting to read about...I feel like I'm learning a lot about runDisney this week...Wow. I guess maybe the delayed start caused the problem because otherwise with a hard 16:00 m/m pace you should know exactly what time you'll have everyone off each portion of the course. But, if there was no real room for error, a delayed start might be enough to cause the problem. I certainly think they should have made a big announcement about it though and not let all this speculation go on for a week.
Lame!! Sorry that happened.No Castle photos for me - photopass did 2 reviews and nada. I'm kind of bummed! And surprised given how many photogs there were before and after the Castle.
I'm trying to put myself in a person's shoes that was at the back of the pack and I probably would have preferred the course shortened than be swept before mile 8. But then I'd also like to be made aware that was happening so that I could mentally know this wasn't my half marathon even if I finished. I personally would care to know that so that I would hold back on posting all over social media about how I was a HM finisher. It would be a big ol' asterick for me. And then I'd let everyone know I finished the 12.5 mile Tink race or what not. But all people are different.
So my question then...did they tell the people out there what was going on??
