Official 2016 Disneyland Half Marathon Thread

Was anyone able to book WOC dessert party for Sunday? Today is the 60 day mark for it and it's not available, in fact Saturday and Sunday are "grayed" out in the calendar.

Very odd- I was able to book for Friday night- in spite of the lack of park hours. But Sat and Sun are grey for me too.
You might give them a call and see if you can book over the phone.

So excited! I was able to get all the reservations I wanted. A Character Breakfast after the 10K, Saturday night dinner at Café Orleans, and Sunday morning breakfast at Steakhouse 55. I'm just hoping that the Hungry Bear won't be switched over to the "Fall" hours of operation that week... Because I want that new Churro Funnel Cake. Everyone I've talked to says it's AMAZING.

I also now have most of the supplies for my costume. Since I'll be running in the 10K I'll be going as Aladdin.

We'll be at Steakhouse 55 on Sunday morning as well!!! It's my favorite brunch at any Disney property.

And, yes ... the Churro Funnel Cake is amazing.

I might try this weekend when I'm in the US. It bugs me that it's int'l long distance to wait on hold when you call Disney. lol

Still cannot book World of Color Dessert party for Saturday. errg..... This is making me miss WDW.

We have everything else booked, we are doing the lunch Frozen package and doing a dinner at Blue Bayou. I am soo excited about the Frozen package!! Glad they started it in time for us.

Keels! Tell me about the brunch here. We have reservations for right at dinner for steak but I also love brunch. The breakfast menu threw me off looking online though.

Oh, it's GREAT!! A nice, casual brunch but still white linen service (they bring your food on a trolley!). We've had pretty much everything on the menu and no disappointments!

Steak and eggs, omelette and the Belgian waffle have always been perfection. And mimosas and Bloody Mary's!

Another great thing (maybe not so great for others around you).. I saw runners literally come from the half to brunch. They were still sweaty and in their running gear with their medals. I showered and changed because i cannot eat being all sweaty and in sweaty clothes. But if you're not like me, then they will let you in to eat... sweaty running clothes and all. Shows how casual brunch is despite the white linen

Thanks for the great info! I got a reservation at 10:15 for our group which works nice because we can go to the park right after that and not cut our day off at 5 with dinner! I'm only in town Saturday through Monday so I'll have a real small window for the park.

Ok you guys just convinced me to changed my reservation from aerials at 11am Sunday to steakhouse 55 at 10:35am Sunday . I am pleased to inform everyone that we WILL shower before heading there after the half! LOL ;p

Husband and I are going right after the 10K - we won't have time to shower, so hopefully we won't be too stinky.

Get the Two Times Four breakfast with the french toast. SO SO SO SO GOOD.

 

[Kathymford]

Hmm ... I booked Carnation for after the half, but it IS my first challenge event ... I deserve 55 don't I? lol

 

[camaker]

Where's our medal preview? @Keels promised us medals on Thursday!

Definitly !!!!!

We went to Steakhouse 55 after DLH AND Tink stinky - and they still have us the best service we've ever had! I did throw Refresh wipes in my gear bag, so I was able to change my shirt and wipe down a little in the bathroom.

Since I am solo on this trip, I wasn't planning to make any ADRs. You all are making it hard to stick to my plan!

Stick with the plan! We can hunt down counter service together!

We have opposite plans - I'm like, solo=it's not so pricey when I go with family, it's like, Carthay x4. That's hard to take. But Carthay x1 - a total steal lol #mousemath
