Marathon Weekend 2019

Popcorn cart in front of Electric Umbrella. If you want to stray from the route, then Les Halles at the back of France or Sunshine Seasons in the Land Pavillion are two other options.

I think a draft from the popcorn cart would be ideal. Thanks!

A warning - your options will be limited ... it's either Bud Light or Yuengling/Sam Adam's Seasonal - I can check for sure next week.

I am regretting not having a costume.
I won’t care if I finish, right?

Forecast looks perfect!

With all the holiday stuff, I almost felt like I couldn’t get excited about our Disney trip....but now that they are over and all our decorations are away, I can really get excited!

We are surprising our girls too - so I’ve had to keep the secret and will have to pack without them noticing. Can’t wait for their reaction when we get them out of school and tell them!

Today's weather update

Packing will be so much easier this year! No gloves, no hats, no 20 lbs. of throw away clothes, just shorts and sun screen!

10 lbs. of throw away clothes?

Yep

I just bought a throwaway shirt, so ... you're all welcome.

Anyone running the 5k, do you have a costume/outfit that will stand out? I want to see if I can spot anyone from here as I hand out water at the water stop in Mexico, mile 1.2. I'm sure it will be hard with all the people, but maybe if I have an idea what to look for.

If it's a Ranger's shirt then throw it away in the BC lobby. I'll pick it up.

If you change what you pack and bring based off of a forecast, I would say thats a mistake. Bring it all, use what you need.

OK, a question for the WDW experts (which is pretty much all of you)

With ADR’s and a somewhat familiar knowledge of dining in the parks, we have a general idea each day of where we’ll eat.

What I don’t have a great idea of is what my best options are at the Epcot resort/Boardwalk area.

Anyone have any favorites that they try not to miss each trip? I’m looking for more casual or quick service options and esp mornings and late nights but I’m game for anything.

Well I’ve heard good things about Ale and Compass at Yacht Club for breakfast since they re-did it.

There is plenty of options in the area but not a lot of quick service. The Boardwalk bakery would be a good spot for mornings or even a late snack.

If it was a Rangers shirt, I wouldn't be throwing it away at all.

DH and I are going to be Donald Duck!

I LOVE the menu at the Ale & Compass lounge for later evening snacks/food - the Parker House rolls with all the spreads are the things dreams are made of. Il Mulino is probably my must-eat in the area, along with Kimonos if you like sushi and sushi adjacent foods (they serve late too and can do to-go). Boardwalk Bakery is great for quick food in the morning, but Ale & Compass restaurant also does nice breakfast/brunch menu if you want a casual sit-down meal - I haven't tried it yet so I can't give a full endorsement, but will this trip.

Ample Hills is amazing, so make sure you check that out! Stay away from the Pizza Window at Boardwalk ... it's so bad, you'll see your life flash before your eyes.

Thanks @rteetz. Yes I’ve heard good things about the bakery. I’m sure we’ll frequent it quite often. I also want to try Crew Cup Lounge.

I would still include at least one cold weather outfit, just in case. I’m throwing in a hat, gloves, long sleeves and running tights.

I’ll have either a spider-man or captain America running shirt on.

LOL! Thanks @Keels. Yep I’ve read some really entertaining reviews of Pizza Window
