For me, Disney runs are the treat I get for training. If I want to try and PR, I need to do it on a course with fewer distractions. (AKA Tell me you have ADHD without telling me... )
We all are unique in motivations, I could switch this around and say "If I want to try and PR, I need to do it on a course with distractions." For me, Disney routes are great to PR because the distractions and unique environments can get you through some tough patches that are likely in a PR level effort.
That being said... the 10-miler was going to be an attempt for me at PR because I just do not have many 10-mile races around me. Started in B, middle of the starting group, and there were just so many walkers and others at paces not even close to POT requirements that really made it impossible to maintain a decent pace during the first miles. I certainly could have attempted to bob-and-weave, use the shoulders on roads, and yell at others as others were doing, but I turned it into a training run and enjoyed the parks, entertainment, and other runners.
