Pre 1/2 marathon meal?

[JoanneNC]

So where is everyone eating? We normally have a car but are flying this time. We normally stay for 8+ days and this time just 3 nights so this trip seems so odd to me already.

Just trying to see where everyone else is carb loading

Thanks

The WISH meet is Friday at about 4:30pm at POP Century food court. Team mates meet and greet and put names with faces. Towards the end we all go outside and take a group photo - that takes a bit of time with all the cameras clicking away.
Then a lot of the people will stay and get something at the food court and eat together. All resorts and restaurants will be offering some sort of a pasta meal the night before all the races. Last year they had a nice pasta with marianara and you could add chicken to it. Was pretty good.

We have a group going to Wolfgang Puck Express at DTD. Lots of choices for the runners and cheerleaders alike.

Both of my half years I have done Wolfgang Pucks. I always stay at POP so if I were going this year I would probably get something small there and try to talk someone with a car into going to Cafe d'Antonio in Celebration. The food is very good and priced well. The best Italian dinner I have ever had in FL which, to be honest, isn't exactly the highest of standards.

I would have to agree with Tracy. I have eaten at the Pop food court the last 4 years on Friday night before the Half as part of the Goofy. Nice, simple, and cheap food that sits well with my stomach.

And you can chat with your forum friends

WP was my plan too But if the menu at POP looks good, we'll just eat there!

I have to say that the chat helps calm my nerves!! To see so many so willing to SCREAM and support - as well as those that are out there 'just like me' really helped my nerves -

and I cant think of anywhere else I can get the "boost" to my nerves!!

Its Pop for me!

Last year we stayed at All Star Music. On Friday night we ate at the food court. Pasta & chicken were on the menu. It sounds a lot like the menu at Pop. Also, we bought the pre race breakfast box they had for sale. It had a banana, breakfast bar & a water in it. It was just right for me before the start of the race.

Last year was POP for the Meet and Eat. Year before I drove over to Olive Garden and it was pretty good.

I'll play it by ear this time around. I know we will be at POP around 3:30, that goes without saying, but not sure if I will eat there.

enjoy,
Duane

Great - thanks all - I will be with DH (anti-social), my 2 kids and my father (babysitter) so need to keep them happy as well.

Gotta put my 2 cents in for Chefs of France during the early day--escargot & the chicken crepe---mmmm. They have lots of pasta dishes too, then a quick PB&J & banana about 2 hours pre-race!
