Marathon Weekend 2019

[lahobbs4]

SAFD: Caramel Corn from Germany!

I was coming to say the same thing! Every. Single. Trip.

 

[camaker]

SAFD: Add me to the adherents of the Werther’s caramel corn in Germany. I’d also like to add the chocolate mousse from France and the plain Rice Krispie treats from MK.

SAFD: Not technically a snack, but the Grey Stuff cupcake at BOG. I love it.

Otherwise, anything Mickey-shaped. Ice cream sandwiches, ice cream bar, pretzel, whatever.

Has anyone been able to book Artist Point over marathon weekend?

Was debating swapping BOG dinner for the new Artist point character meal, but not seeing availability....is it truly no availability or have reservations not been released for January yet?

I booked mine for 8:30pm the night after the marathon.

Did you try booking different party sizes? That has worked for me in getting reservations in the past.

Good morning, runDisney all-stars! Anyone else dealing with just about non-stop rain? It makes training suuuuuper fun.

Training is tough, but the weather has really sucked for harvest too. Bleh.

Anyway, let's talk snacks. Specifically, what are your favorite Disney World snacks? Do you go with the tried and true like Dole Whips and Mickey bars or try something else? For the meal plan-savvy folks, what are your favorite uses of snack credits?

This is hard! I love them all (except school bread... yuck.). I love the butterfinger cupcake at DHS, magical-Starbucks always hits the spot, and can't go wrong with a corndog (at DLR...cheating a bit). My alltime favorite though is probably a mickey apple with all of the toppings!

Snacks: I'm not much of a WDW snacker - I bring Clif and granola bars with me in case I need something between meals. If dessert counts as a snack, every so often I'll indulge in a waffle with strawberries and whipped cream from Sleepy Hollow.

PoT: no PoT for me again. Planning to be in the GIANT corral once more, lol!

ETA: an "s". Because dessert and desert are entirely different things...

I don’t really snack at WDW. If I do it’s usually popcorn, ice cream or Mickey pretzels w/ that fake cheese.

Has anyone found a way to print a copy or screenshot of the reg?
It seems I can only get a screenshot of a very small window in the edit field.
I want one of my POT and the pre- purchased items.

Sadly, I have not. I just took a bunch of screen shots to capture all the info and saved them in a file.

SAFD: Monday morning edition. I generally end up there during F&W or F&G, and my snacking is largely the seasonal items. I wanted to bring the piggy wings home in a kidcot plastic bag, but thought TSA might not approve.
I would take a mickey bar if it were hot and I was in MK, but I see no upside to this over a dove bar I can get at home. Same for the Mickey pretzel and the popcorn. For a cold treat I would go with Grand Marnier slushie, Dole Whip (add rum? Yes. Add cupcake? No thank you) or Kakigori over in the Japan Pavillion Gaston's cinnamon roll is a go. Also a hard yes to anything at Les Halles, if I can handle the line.
As for savory snacks, I am less in love with anything. While I was skeptical of the cheeseburger spring roll, I liked it and would do it again- but did not like the cheeseburger pods in Pandora. Corn dogs are meh and I feel the same about the fries- we have plenty of Poutine at home.

There is a serious lack of poutine in my area. Any good places to get poutine at WDW? I’m mildly aware of a cart or something down at Disney Springs.

Le Cellier at Epcot or the Daily Poutine at Disney Springs

While with friends I tried the ones from refreshment port and at Tiffins (maybe Nomad lounge?) and they were fine, just not significantly better than what I can get at home. A more thorough list can be found on DisneyFoodBlog

Is frosé a snack because I pick that!

In other news, looks like I get to finally start training in earnest this weekend ... I’m 98-percent excited and 2-percent scared. Or maybe it’s more 98-percent scared and 2-percent excited. Or 50-percent scared, 48-percent excited, 2-percent looking for Wheelie Sneaks on Amazon.

Nothing for it all at once. I just did a handful of print screens and printed to show the POT parts. I tried to just copy and past but it was putting a blank box for URL link with out the text in it.

Just buy the $250 orange shoes everyone was wearing at Chicago instead of wheelie shoes.

Might want to buy a few of them. I hear they’re only good for a hundred miles or so.

Seems reasonable.

There appear to be approximately 7,468 places to get poutine or cheese fries at WDW right now (I know they aren’t the same thing, but stuff on fries is stuff on fries). Personally, I am a fan of the Daily Poutine in Disney Springs because I like the thicker cut fries they use.
