It is way down with RFiD enhanced bib numbers. Your bib never registered at check points XYZ you're disqualified.
Well in terms of runDisney (it really depends on the race organization) for a single race if you still cross the finish you are given the medal. Even if you are swept and don't cross the finish line you are given the medal. Now for a challenge (ex: Dopey) if you are swept or are missing timing mats on our data you can/will not get your challenge medal.

For the WDW Marathon lots of people will cut cones on out and back portions. Any out and back race suffers that possibility. Then you also have people who miss the start and will just jump on the course randomly.

What mile do they sweep people off the course? Also - question about forum since you are a moderator - why do I get a "you can't post for 30 minutes" when I do post? New to this.

They sweep at all points on the courses. There is no specific mile point.

That is a new poster feature to prevent spam. It will go away.
 
Honestly Project Stardust should be a ongoing thing in all Parks, Its great they are thinking about the influx that Star Wars will bring to Disneyland, but honestly, Disney used be be all about the plusing they didnt need a special codename project to keep up with required and preventative maintenance and enhancements.
To an extent DHS is getting the same. New larger parking lots, new parking lot entrance, new tranportation, new security area, etc.

True -- but feels like Toy Story Land needs its own "Project Stardust" already .. no shade, a queue (SDD) that is not big enough (as it seems to just permanently go across the bridge and towards the entrance) .. narrow walkways, not enough seating at the QS location and peeling paint already.
 
Im liking the addition of more themed rooms around the world, but I wonder if some of the technology Disney packaged last year for rooms, could be added to rooms to allow people to choose there own themeing. "Plus your Disney Room with your Favorite Characters, Rides, or Festivals" For example you could have, A Sword in the Stone themed room, with perhaps a scene from the movie on your walls, Perhaps have it like your in the movie, with the the room slowly changing projected scenes on the wall, you could have the Madam Mim Dragon animation on at night, or the Squirrel chase theme on during the day. Whatever, and then of course guests would pay the premium for it. I know they patented alot of tech last year that would allow for immersive story telling in the room, if they used it I could see Disney being able to make alot of decent upcharges allowing for a more customized option to a room, without actually having to worry about inventory. If I wanted a Princess room, I wouldn't have to stay at the Port Orleans resort, I could have it at the Contemporary or wherever on property as long as I wanted to pay the extra. More Choices at more location only allows for increase revenue potential.

In saying all of that though, I wouldn't be surprised that if the tech patented last year was to be used by Disney, we would see it first at the Star Wars hotel, we already know that as a total immersion is going to have some tech in the room.
