Disneyland Paris run weekend 2019: 10K

Saturday 21st of September, 7AM

We set our alarm at 5AM, previous year we went to the corrals a little later, but there was a huge line before the security check. So, after a 5,5 hour night sleep we got up and got ready to run the 10K!

We were in the first wave of corral A this time, right in the middle of it. And that was a bit nicer actually than yesterday when we were in the front of the second wave. Right after the start, there's a very sharp turn to the right and  when you blast of, it's a bit tricky to keep your balance. We started at 7:01AM.

We went through Disney Village again, Fantasia Gardens and then entered Disneyland Park through Mainstreet! Always such an amazing site, running toward the castle!

First stop was an amazing location: Belle by the castle! We wanted to keep our buffer and skipped her.
No characters in Discoveryland, and for the next 2K. The character stops during the 5K were very fast after each other.
Something new this year: they has a lot of characters who were in a 'selfie spot'. They waved and cheered for us, but it was not possible to get a good photo with them. Rapunzel was on the bridge near Casey's Junior Train.

Before we ran through the castle, we saw Snow White by Auberge de Cendrillon! We were dressed as Snow and Dopey, we had to get this shot!

Another stunning spot was where Tiana was standing, nearby Molly Brown! She switched with Moana.

We made another loop through Frontierland and got to Adventureland through Agrabah where Jasmin was meeting runner's. She was switching with Ariel.

After 5,5K we left the park and got a few kilometers backstage. Which I didn't mind, because means long wide roads where we can pass people comfortably!
The only characterstop in the Studios was in the Studio Tram Tour. We got Pocahontas, and she switched with Merida.

Also something new, you weren't allowed to take photos yourself or castmember didn't take your phone. I think they think it would go faster this way, but it didn't. We did buy the Photopass, but if our photos don't show up, I wanted to have a back up. So I took as selfie as well. If they CM just took out photo as well with our phone, that would have been a lot quicker...

Finished!

We liked this race so much more than the 5K, because the crowds are better spread out on the course. You got more space to pass people without cutting them of or being cut off. It was Princess themed, not our favorite theme, but very happy to be able to meet Snow White! My favorite Princess!

It took us 1:31 to finish and we did 3 character stops and took some more photos backstage.
