I think it makes sense that they change the theme of the 5K to fall rather than the holidays with the races being in early November. But it's interesting and really surprising that they dropped Lumiere from the name of the challenge (just like they did with Dumbo in
Disneyland). I wonder if this is their way of switching things up from year to year and changing themes. Although for Wine and Dine there aren't many other characters to go with to fit the theme. But I'm really glad I did the inaugural, because I love the Lumiere medal.
I wouldn't be surprised to see the half marathon course change again.
