Castaway Cay 5k official runDisney event.. My Musings

Earlier I posted all the official important info about the upcoming runDisney Castaway 5k connected to Marathon weekend in January.. A part of me though is wondering, why is Disney suddenly taking a free 5k and slapping a price tag and a bunch of swag on it? Will this become a regular event? Will the cruisers not entered still be able to do the free version that cruise or are they sadly not getting the option to do the CC5k? As a previous Castaway 5k walker the I am scared that if this one does great, Disney may get the idea that each cruise to the Cay's 5k should become a for-profit item with limited entry and time limits etc. Walking that 5k was a fun thing to do because I was not running it. I am not a runner and oh wow it was hoooot and humid that day and though I am from an area that is usually hot and humid I was still blown away by the 8am-ish  humidity levels last July when we did the race.
Here's to hoping runDisney and DCL don't decide to take a possible once a year thing and spin it into another "book it at X many days out for Y cost" event.
