Why not Boathouse? You can boat over to Disney Springs from POR and it's relaxing and a great meal. Plus two cool kids will totally be there tooI was seriously wracking my brain over what to do, there. I wanted something nice, but not too heavy, so that threw out 'Ohana. It's a resort day, so I threw out everything in the parks. I had already planned to not chase rides between the half and the full.
I'm still not 100% happy with Cali Grill, but I couldn't think of anything better.
Edit: I like to repeat myself, over and over again.
Why does it have to be something nice? Not to be flippant, but why not save the nice dinner for the post-marathon celebration and give your girlfriend a night to relax, rest, and gather herself for the full on Sunday?

Oh you're not being flippant, @FFigawi . That was, honestly, the hardest time to find what I wanted. Not because I couldn't find a good place, but I want something where she could relax and enjoy her food.
The Boathouse sounds really good! Oh why didn't I think of that before?
Wait, I'm pretty much on DisB on my phone now, and don't see signatures. I changed resorts, and I probably didn't change my signature, did I?
Watch your timing on the CG and fireworks. Historically Wishes was at 8 pm on Marathon Sunday. I went with a 7:10 pm CG reservation on Marathon Sunday for that reason. They will still let you up there to watch but it is possible your reservation will be after fireworks.

Yo quiero este "secret nacho." Uno momento, ¿qué es este "Secret nacho"?
Ack, I would like to interrput and say do not eat at Pecos Bills before a race!!! Word or warning from someone who got very very ill most likely from their condiment bar (guacamole sitting out) the evening before the marathon. That was a lunch after the half I regret daily as it made for the worst marathon ever. Of course I know you can get sick from anywhere, I just like to warn, although the nachos probably come just from the back so not condiment bar. Now Back to your regular marathon reading....
Yeah we have nothing either But then I don't think we'll be doing any ADRs.I feel like such a dead beat. I haven't even started a planning conversation with my other half. We may opt for a laissez-faire attitude and roll with the punches.

BUT...
6 months to the marathon, wondering how/if they'll spice it up for the 25th?
ooh The big Sebastian...or wait was he already used before as the big 20th?Maybe they could bring in some big puppet type things at mile 25.

You didn't change your signature Now I see that you are staying at the Contemporary - California Grill does work well if you want an easy day since you don't have to leave the hotel. Disney Springs isn't a bad bus ride though.
I should probably update my signature for 2018 trip's but I haven't gotten there yet.
I started in corral E and finished at 7:30. Race started at 6. I made one character stop because lines were nuts.Dopey/5km runners- what time do you anticipate most runners being done by? My DH is doing the 5k, and I'm trying to get a breakfast in at Boma.
I'm trying to guess what a good ADR time would be given that he'll need to venture back to POR, shower, and then we'd head out.

Man, the last few days in this thread make me so glad I do these trips solo! I have a hard enough time deciding what to eat at the next meal the ADR process drives me nuts! No way can I commit to times and restaurants this far in advance. Fortunately, I'm perfectly happy with counter service and the occasional walk up table service on the spur of the moment.
