Trail's End question

[roselark]

I am running the Star Wars Dark Side Challenge in April. I prefer to eat a really big breakfast the day before a half marathon rather than a carb load dinner. I am thinking of giving Trails End a try since they seem to have all my favorite breakfast foods. When does breakfast get switched over to lunch? I will be staying at POR unless my AKV waitlist comes through, and I will definitely need to shower after the 10K. What is the best travel route from either location w/o a car? How much time should I allow for travel? I am a veteran of Disney transportation, but have never been to Fort Wilderness, so am a little unsure.

Catch a bus to MK then boat over to FW. This will put you right at the restaurant. That will be your fastest route.
I think breakfast ends at 11

I agree with taking the ferry from MK to FW. The ferry puts you right at the restaurant. If you take a bus to FW, you will have to transfer to the interior buses at FW to get to the restaurant, which will add another 30 minutes to your time.

If you are short on time, Why bother showering? You earned that meal and with your medal proudly displayed no one will think anything of it. On a side note, we dined at Trails End in September and agree that the Magic Kingdom is likely going to be your best bet to get there. Otherwise you will need a cab and use the internal bus system (just take the first bus that comes along they all end up at the same place).

You could practically walk there, it's so close. So take a cab, it will get you to the front in 3 minutes, then the internal bus is another 10.

I read it as you want the breakfast the day before, but then you talk about showering after????? Reading is Fundamental and I evidently cant do it. ARGG And I haven't even had a sip.. Double Argg

I am doing the Challenge, which includes the 10K on Saturday and the Half on Sunday. I want a big breakfast after the 10K, the day before the Half.

And I definitely will need to shower. I am a heavy sweater and it will be quite warm in April, even early in the morning. It is more for my comfort rather than concern about how I will look.

Gotcha....as someone that checks in OTR drivers all the time, showers are a good thing.
