Marathon Weekend 2019

[UNCBear24]

18 miles done today and it went well. Five weeks to go. I'm so ready for January to be here . . . Hope everyone's training is going well.

The friends that I’m going with have never been so I don’t where to take them.

Where does everyone eat after the race?

After races big celebration places are usually signatures or Ohana.

I would make an ADR or two just to have something. You can always change or cancel it later.

So I haven't made ANY dinning reservations... Am i going to be sorry?

The Dis Unplugged just posted a discussion on Youtube on last minute ADRs that are often available.

Obama is popular. That’s where I’m heading. Boma is popular, too.

My 18 miles start in 9 hours. So nervous, longest run before this was 15.5.

Eh, if you want Italian before the races at a sit down you will be sorry.

Another reason I'm glad to be fat-adapted. Give me a fatty cut of steak the day before and bacon during the race and I'm good.

Everything.

edit: definitely thought the quoted post said “what does everyone eat after the race” but I’m leaving my answer anyway. Lol.

 

[lhermiston]

Obama?

Well...yes. But also Ohana. #thankyouautocorrect

 

[rteetz]

Everything.

Especially at Cali Grill brunch.

Especially at Cali Grill brunch.

I think I'm the only one who isn't hungry after a marathon. I will drink all the beer, though.

Part of me thinks “that was so expensive I would never do that again.” And then another part thinks “that was amazing, must do it every time.”

Although hopefully it wouldn’t be downpouring for the fireworks.

We are doing Dopey. Have Via Napoli around noon after the 10k, Teppan Edo around 3 after the half, and Storybook Dining at Artist’s Point around 6 after the full.

My husband doesn’t want to eat for a few hours after running.

Same. Last time we walked around Epcot for beer and some caramel popcorn, then headed back to AKL and ate a flatbread in our room in our pjs. It was my perfect night.

It would be funny to see Obama eating in Ohana!Okay what day can we expect waivers and corrals listed.

It takes me a little while but when I do start to eat, holy mother does it start to flow. Usally we do Hoop Dee Doo the night of the marathon but this year we're going to mix it up a bit and do the Character meal at Artist Point.

This is how I am too. I'll make myself eat because I know I need to but I don't get snacky immediately like I do with 13 miles or less.

We are doing Morimoto for dinner after the marathon this year.

If you come across restaurants you want to eat at that are booked up already; there are some apps that let you put in a request and they will notify you if something opens so you can book it. Last year I used this quite a bit to get spots at O’hana, Crystal Palace and Be Our Guest. Worked great with all the late cancelations that often happen.
