Marathon Weekend 2018

[FelisLachesis]

TS: I'd go with Rose and Crown. Yes, my previous post elsewhere on these forums mentioned that I had a pretty bad curry from there, but when I changed it to bangers and mash with some mushy peas, I was floored with how good it was. Their fish is also really good, and it's one of the few places on WDW property, where I can say "give me a beer" and I won't care what comes, I like them all.

QS: Columbia Harbour House. I guess it's because i had 0 expectations from it, I didn't even know it existed until I walked past it. Clam chowder there is amazing! They also have a pretty darn tasty chicken pot pie.

Today's Disney Question: What is your favorite restaurant on property and why?

Tough one, but I think maybe Boma. Breakfast and dinner both have plentiful, unique vegetarian options. So many restaurants on property only have 1 choice (if that).

Today's Disney Question: What is your favorite restaurant on property and why?

As a pescatarian (I don't eat any animal that breathes air-just fish and veggies/fruits...etc) I have a challenge with variety in some restaurants, especially in MK and combined with the fact that I have wicked picky kids my experiences are limited. With that said:

TS: Sanaa & ViaNapoli
QS: Still searching for a really good one.

It's not a restaurant, but the Flower and Garden kiosks! Love sharing small plates (although our oldest son usually consumes a greater share than the rest of us!) walking with a glass of wine, enjoying the flowers. Watermelon salad last year was amazing, and the bloody mary right at the entrance to World Showcase was outstanding. Too many good foods to mention, and just a few bites of each with all the walking in between is perfect. The kiosks themselves seem much less crowded to us during F&G than F&W, so just very chill.

For a restaurant, Jiko. Very calm and relaxing atmosphere, I really enjoy the wine selection and love the menu. The kids love it, too - one of those places that everyone can be happy about!

Rose and Crown is my favorite, except for the post-marathon feast, where nothing beats the Liberty Tree Tavern.

Today's Disney Question: What is your favorite restaurant on property and why?

Victoria & Albert's. Exceptional service, great food for both me & my vegan wife, and a very good wine offering too.

Breakfast: BOMA!
Lunch: Pecos Bill's (even after the change)
Dinner: CaliGrill (resort) or BOG (parks)
I dont really like steaks, but I could eat the steak and green beans from BOG 6 out of 7 days a week.

.

Jiko! It has my favorite vegetarian entrees, great wine, beautiful ambiance, and did I mention the amazing food? And don't forget the post-dinner tour of AKL for some animal viewing.

For lunch: Rose and Crown for the Fish and Chips and Harp Beer. For dinner: Chicken Mole from San Angels. I get it every time I go!

Breakfast at Kona Cafe and dinner at Ohana!

Victoria and Albert's. We only ate there once (when we ran our first marathon), but planning on it for the trip in 2018. Amazing.

 

[Jaxasaurous]

Breakfast at Kona Cafe and dinner at Ohana!

I agree with both of these restaurants

 

[Chaitali]

I'd say Victoria and Albert's too. I'm planning on that one as my reward after finishing my first marathon Not the same day since I'm not sure what type of shape I'll be in but later in that week.

 

[michigandergirl]

I really like Via Napoli, also enjoyed the breakfast buffet at Tusker house.

No contest: Victoria & Albert's FTW. Other than that, I really don't have a favorite, only a handful of places that are "good enough" in each park...
MK
TS: Plaza
QS: CHH

EP
TS: Coral Reef, Via Napoli, La Hacienda
QS: I try not to, lol! EU will do for a burger in a pinch. The WS QS spots have all gone down so much in quality, we rarely eat at them anymore.

DS
TS: Brown Derby
QS: Backlot

AK
TS: Y&Y
QS: Restaurantosaurus

Now you're scaring me, as I planned a "Snack around the world" day during Marathon weekend.

Now you're scaring me, as I planned a "Snack around the world" day during Marathon weekend.

I'm a "snacker" at Epcot as opposed to full meals and have never had an issue finding things. Then again, as I detailed in my answer the question, I'm not the pickiest eater in the world or the harshest critic.

Now you're scaring me, as I planned a "Snack around the world" day during Marathon weekend.

I'm sure you'll find things that are of interest! I'm semi-local and visit often, so I get picky about wanting good food that doesn't make my wallet scream in fear with every order, lol! There just isn't a lot in WS that my son or I like, so we tend to do TS when we're there.

 

[Dis5150]

I love Whispering Canyon Café for breakfast. Love the atmosphere and the fun staff. And banana bread French toast!
QS I love Casey's Corner for mini corn dogs in MK, Flame Tree BBQ in AK for the half chicken. Love their jalapeno cornbread too! Epcot I love Fish and Chips at the walk up (and the name is escaping me at the moment!) and don't really like anywhere at HS, lol.

Now you're scaring me, as I planned a "Snack around the world" day during Marathon weekend.

Even when it's not Flower and Garden or Food and Wine, we occasionally snack around the World for lunch. While the quality is not the same as the festivals, we still enjoy it. And the cost stays relatively reasonable compared with TS for our family because we share everything between anywhere from 3-5 of us.

Non-F&G/F&W snacks

Mexico: chips with guacamole
Norway: lefse
China: egg rolls and/or potstickers
Germany: brat if hungry, pretzel if in the middle, caramel bar if not hungry
Italy: Tutto Gusto for cheese plate
France: another cheese plate, and/or share a ham/cheese croissant if hungry
Morocco: Spice Road for a chicken skewer, or skip
UK: a cookie if not hungry, fish and chips if hungry
Japan: edamame or veggie sushi
Canada: maple candy from gift shop
America: soft serve ice cream

My favorite is a tie between Tutto Gusto and Les Halles in France. The rest are just OK, but still fun!
