The best part of the race weekends, is that you will see a ton of different characters! Disney puts out different characters at each of the races!

In the Reunion Lot (where runners can take pictures before and after the race), they were met by their first set of rare characters today! They could meet Megara and Hercules, Clopin and Esmeralda, Hercules, Aladdin and Jasmine, and Jane and Tarzan. What a fun way to kick of this weekend’s final race!

There were 42 characters along the course for runners to stop and take a picture with. This does include the characters at the finish line! That’s a lot of characters!
