Best Post Marathon Character Meal???

[JPCarnotaur]

Hi,

I am running the Goofy Challenge in January of 2017 and I am trying to decide which ADRs I should make for the days of the half and full marathon.
I just want to know what any of you would recommend for mornings after races. I'm looking for mainly character meals since they are my favorite, but I'd love any recommendations. Thanks!

I guess it depends, really, on what characters and kind of food you like.

Obviously, Chef Mickey would be the best for after the Marathon since you'll have the Mickey medal and will have a shot to knock out medal pictures with all the VIPs post-race. I don't know that I'd want to eat all that food at CMs after a full, but that's just me.

For the half, I would pick something in Epcot since you'll finish right in the parking lot and it makes it easier to walk in, eat and then head back to your resort to relax and prep for the full the next day. Garden Grill has more traditional characters, but if you're feeling the need to see some royalty - then Akershus for the Princess breakfast is a good option.

I've done Garden Grill before and the cinnamon roll alone is worth it. I'll be doing Akershus for brunch after the Princess half in February.

For me it starts with the food. Especially after the half since you can't mess up your belly or fueling for the full. What do you like, what food works for you post and pre race, does anything mess you up? Etc.

Then work your way through your day for a realistic timeframe that you can be ready for the meal, and piece the menu and the time together.
