Have any of you run the Disneyland in August? I just ran the Disneyworld half last weekend...first race of that distance for me- and had a BLAST. I was contemplating going to CA but am very scared of the heat in late August. Thoughts and feelings?
About me- I'm from Florida, live in New England, and run better in the heat than cold.
In my experience, the summers are always better on the west coast due to the lack of humidity. It's definitely better than FL (where I am), and probably better than New England. I did a June marathon in CA, and it was amazing, but that was San Diego, plus I think their whole June gloom thing keeps it cooler that month.
Idk. I know the Disneyland area is likely to get pretty warm, but if you're from FL, you train in the east coast humidity, and you prefer the heat, I say go for it. You just had bad weather for that half & it seems like you still enjoyed yourself.

So Cal weather is a crapshoot. After living there for 25 years, I learned that nothing about the weather is predictable. The high is supposed to be 81 for Sunday's Tinkerbell half. 81, in January. I wouldn't be surprised if it is raining in August. Since the race is run so early in the morning it will be over before any heat gets unbearable.
