Joan, why do you say you won't repeat the 5k if you don't mind me asking?
I really liked the 5k my first time doing it at WDW. It is a quick, fun run and I loved to the 10k course as well. For me it is too much. I am an early riser, but hate waiting around to run. My routine is to get up and have a small snack (like half a banana) and 4 oz of juice and within 30 minutes I am running. Also I usually run no less than 6 miles and do that 3 times a week so to go out for 3 miles isn't enough for me. I have run all the princess halfs, so I am going to stick to that.
For all wanting a shorter run, the 5k is a great race first mile not much, but the last two are filled with sights (epcot was beautiful in the fog with the torches lit just before dawn) and characters and it is a good way to get your feet wet for what a Disney race is.
DVCFAN If your daughter and mother decided to run it, I would suggest you do too. You will be up anyway so way not. And it is very special to run with family. If you can get corral A placement, go out at a decent pace (not too fast) then you will have shorter lines for character photos. Hope that helps.
