Fort wilderness for the Disney marathon

Anyone out there a runner? I have signed up for the Disney marathon and decided to stay at FW. I was told all the buses run to and from FW for the event (3 am is when you can start to arrive!!) anyone have experience with this? How reliable they are (again for the marathon specifically) I have used them countless times otherwise.

Just saw your thread... We have run the Marathon every year since 2010.. The bus service from fort wilderness is excellent. We have used it the past three years. Takes all the stress out of getting to the race. We usually will get on the bus about 4:30. Once you get off the bus it will take around 30 minutes to make your way up to the corrals... We are middle of the pack runners so the 4:30 bus works for us if you are starting in one of the first few corrals you will want to take an earlier bus...The buses run continually.

The bus service is available for all the races... Up till this year (2014) we did the Goofy..This year we did the Dopey and will again in Jan 2015... We have gotten a lot of experience with the bus service:)

We always have transport back to the campground after the race so I can't provide any info relative to bus service after race except they are available.
