Usually, runDisney (rD) puts on a great show. It is usually a great experience and usually gives you the feeling of wanting more from both your own running and your participation in the running community at large.
This particular edition had the unfortunate honor of sweltering heat (uncontrollable), baffling staging and logistics, a huge field of participants, race goodies (swag and included food) lacking in quality unless you pay for other “accessories”, and a delayed start (marathon). USUALLY rD is a 4 or 5 star event however all of these issues just compounded on one another as a perfect storm. Buyer beware that your investment in the rD experience may not pan out.

Aid every 4k. Friendly race staff.
Relatively Flat course with a slight hill around 15k-mark
Friendly locals.
And usually occurs during their “culture night” celebration. Think 4th of July for us Yankees, the Icelanders celebrate their nation and cultural heritage on that night . The day’s festivities begin with the running events and end with fireworks around midnight.
