Sounds like what they tested at last year's Superheroes Half- private merch time and characters. Looks like they had pretty good feedback if they're gonna slap a $200 tag on it!

The announcement had no character reference but I would assume one would exist somewhere

I don't have a problem with them offering a premium experience with additional benefits. I think some of the non-Disney races I've done offer additional experiences pre- and post- race, as well. None of what is being offered in these packages has any effect on me, except potentially the early merchandise shopping. I wouldn't think they'd offer enough spaces so that a particular merchandise item would be sold out just because of them, but even if that happens, it's just merchandise. Otherwise, all of the benefits are things that don't interest me, and rather than lumping them as part of the entire package and making me pay for something I don't want, I'd prefer they did it this way, offering it to someone who wants to do it. I don't care if someone else pays to do something I'm not interested in. It doesn't diminish from my experience if someone chooses to afford something I don't care to.
Please don't ask me how I feel, I feel fine.

Having access to the VIP tent at WDW when I did the Runner's World Challenge was really nice, I have to admit.

I'm getting nervous for the 10k with the additional spaces opening up. We're walkers so they'll put us at the back of the corrals and having to start 60+ mins after the first corral means we are more likely to get swept.

While I see that was the case with last time, it was the case with the Avengers 10k as well with having 5 but yet this last one had 7 corrals. The 5k for Super Heroes had one more corral added as well I noticed too. So who is to say that it isn't 2 more added in to the Star Wars as well? Sadly we have no idea how many until that info is out there.

But the 16 minute mile minimum requirement is the same no matter which corral you're in. Usually for the 10K, I start about 30 minutes after the race starts, being in the last corral. One tip - make sure you're at the front of whatever corral you're in. Just get there early and you'll be sure to be in the front. I'm mostly a walker as well, and being at the front of the corral means I usually have an extra couple minutes cushion while the rest of my corral crosses the start line. Don't stop for pictures or restroom breaks, and you'll be fine! Have a good race!

Anyone planning to dress up in costume? I haven't come up with any new ideas, so may be the same Hoth Rebel as the past two events.

I'm wearing my "Ahsoka Lives" shirt with the headpiece I made for my daughter's Ahsoka Halloween costume. I might make the Rebels outfit belt to hold my phone & small stuff.

I have two costumes for the two Star Wars races, but I'm seriously debating which I'll use for which. I'm bringing back my Rey costume from last year with some additions (pants that are closer to the right color and the complete arm sleeves) and I'm making a new costume for a new character- Jyn Erso's Imperial Ground Trooper costume. Theme-wise, it makes more sense to do Rey for the Light Side and Jyn for the dark-side (since she's dressed like an Imperial trooper). But weather-wise, it makes more sense to wear the Rey costume for the dark-side, since it is way, way lighter than the long-sleeved Jyn costume. Thoughts, anyone?
2015: Star Wars 10k + Avengers 10k
2016: Star Wars 10k, Paris Half and 5k, Avengers Half
2017: Star Wars Light Side Half, Star Wars Dark Side Half, Paris Half and 10k, Avengers 10k

If I find a more suitable olive green tank, I'd repeat my Matt the Radar Tech from the Dark Side this past year. In florida I was prepared for the humidity and heat so I paired a mesh back tank with a mesh Orange vest.... But that would definitely be too cold for January in CA!

Courses up for 10K and Half. I'll take a look at last year's maps to get an idea of changes.
10K
Half
Edit:
Major changes for 10K;
Starting in opposite direction (Heading towards convention center rather than heading towards Ball Rd.)
Begin in DCA (no huge differences in landmarks passed)
Come out through castle rather than entering castle (so pictures will have you coming out front of castle)
No DTD portion (get back to hotels via roads behind DCA)
Major changes for half:
Opposite direction start (similar to 10k)
DCA first (no major differences in landmarks passed)
Tunnel-->Disneyland
Very little time in Disneyland; mainly the same parts as the 10K without the diversion through Frontierland to Haunted Mansion and back
Enter Harbor via Esplanade
Everything is the same from that point

This makes me happy. My knee was not happy after the hill last year at the beginning. I was dreading having to go up that hill. LOL

And take note that there is an error on the Challenge corrals. Time required jumps from 1:50, 2:00, to 2:29 then back to 2:15, 2:22, 2:31. Should have been 2:09. Oops...
Also note an email went out last night saying 'last minute registration' will be available for the half marathon during the expo at Runner Relations.

Corral C for me for the Challenge. Can't believe it's only 19 days. This training cycle has been a struggle for me.

Looks like 7 corrals for the 10k now. Was hoping for less but after comparing the last 2 Super Heroes/Avengers ones this doesn't surprise me. As well as them having it all open for so long like they have.
