Marathon Weekend 2019

[Barca33Runner]

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

I’ve tried a similar tact before. Seems Eliud Kipchoge and Mo Farah have a lot more to do with it than the shoes.

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).

Stuff on fries is stuff on fries?!?! Those are fighting words! You take that back this very instant!

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.

I don’t understand why people ruin perfectly good fries by slopping gravy and what not all over them.

I’m sorry, we can’t be friends anymore.

I was taking a slightly too Disney attitude there. Disney and some of the Disney Springs restaurants group a lot of things under the umbrella of the poutine name that I wouldn’t necessarily say fit the description. So there is a lot of poutine in the area and some of it may more aptly deserve a “stuff on fries” moniker.

I agree. I am very picky with my poutine, fries have to be thick, gravy has to be hot enough to melt the cheese but the most important part is the squeak test of the cheese curds. The squeakier the better!

Very true statement, but you know they sold a ton because people think it will automatically make them faster if they wear the magic shoe.

Burn.

I never had any delusions that the shoes would make me faster, but I do fall into the “those look cool, I want to run in what the pros wear” trap.

This! I've found my new Bestie.

Shame! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!

Okay, you're off double super secret probation, but I won't forget this easily.

Yes! It has to be curds not melted shredded cheese.

She needs a friend now that I’m out.

SAFD:

I haven't been available to answer the last couple of weeks (or stay caught up on the board for that matter....) Great to be back!

Snacks - again, I'll divide this up between WDW and DLR:

WDW:

• Cinnamon Roll at Gaston's - the warmer and gooier, the better
• The fixin's bar at Pecos Bills - I know this doesn't necessarily qualify as a "snack", but I discovered this gem on my last trip, and loved it
• The cupcakes at DHS - I had some type of carrot cake cupcake at Starring Rolls (R.I.P) and it was legit. Same for the red velvet one we got somewhere at DHS off the Dining Plan...
• The bakery in France - I can't remember what we got... but it was fantastic (I think it may have been a ham and cheese croissant...)
• The "cookie sandwich" at Earl of Sandwich. Basically a massive round, soft brownie split in two with some type of filling inside. I like the vanilla (it turns into a giant soft Oreo cookie). My wife loves the peanut butter (which I think they've discontinued)

DLR:

• Cheddar Garlic Bagel Twist at Maurice's Treats (Fantasyland)
• Either the Matterhorn Macaroon or Raspberry Mickey Macaroon at Jolly Holiday Bakery
• Dill Pickle Popcorn at Cozy Cone Motel (Cars Land)

Looking forward to trying all the great treat suggestions ya'll have been making...

Don’t be jealous.

 

[croach]

Don’t be jealous.

Can’t be jealous of people eating soggy fries.

 

[Princess KP]

Can’t be jealous of people eating soggy fries.

That’s actually pretty funny but we still can’t be friends.

 

[Keels]

Cheese and bacon are the only things that belong on fries #TheEnd

 

[croach]

That’s actually pretty funny but we still can’t be friends.

 

[rteetz]

I don’t know why Canadians think cheese curds should go on top of fries. They are best deep fried and on their own.

Uh, I’m still here ... #TeamKP
