Hey gang!
Does anyone know if there are published distances for the bus loops around the Resorts on property??
My wife and I just took up running and we want to take a run around our Resort while we are on vacation. So we are curious if anyone knows the distances.
If all else fails we'll just drive the loop and do the math backwards.
Thanks,
Don

Where are you staying? I think I've seen distances for some of the resorts Pretty sure all the moderates and maybe Pop - and maybe the Boardwalk/Swan/Dolphin/Yacht/Beach loop.

There are enough pedestrian-friendly areas at WDW that personally I'd hesitate to run in an area where you could drive your car; I don't recall seeing a ton of sidewalks next to roads at WDW.

Where are you staying? You could try to use the Gmap pedometer tool (http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/). Just type in Lake Buena Vista, FL as you location and zoom in.

If you let me know your resort I could plot an example for you. :)

Don't use the bus loop. The walkways around Lago Dorado are in pretty good shape for running. Yes, there will be some pedestrian traffic, but it'll still be a lot safer than running on a roadway. If I recall correctly, it's 1.1 miles around Lago Dorado. They can probably help you out with a jogging map at the front desk or the concierge desk.

Here's one route that comes out to about 0.9 miles. Link (http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=467744).

That is a great site! Not just for the running routes, but I love reading all of the first hand reports from last year's marathon. Plus, the 2007 marathon booklet is on there!! It's actually not very different from last year's booklet, but it still makes it all more real!
