Star Wars 5K

 

 Nearing the finish line

Disney race events occur rain or shine. So, despite predicted inclement weather, we headed to the parks, Thursday afternoon, spent the night at the Disneyland Hotel, and got up, Friday morning, at 4AM to participate in the Star Wars 5K. It was damp and a tad colder and darker than our last 5K, but we had fun nonetheless. As I always say: any excuse to go to Disneyland!

Thursday: nothing like a little drizzle to keep the crowds away from Disneyland!

Friday: 5AM selfie while waiting for the 5K to begin

 

Giving the ol' Vulcan salute—Live Long and Prosper—

but wait, this is Star Wars not Star Trek!

 

 My favorite Disneyland sight: Tomorrowland's rocket

Sleeping Beauty's castle at dawn: magnificent!

Right before crossing

 

Our reward: a 5K medal (pretty cool!)

But wait, there's more! What's becoming a post-5K tradition, we treated ourselves to a buffet at the PCH Grill, the "character breakfast" at Disney's Paradise Pier hotel.
