Where to go for Carbs?

[boolou]

I am heading to Disney in May for the Danskin Triathlon with my best girlfriends (6 of us - mid thirties). We are looking for a place the night before the race for a carb heavy meal. We would prefer to be out of the parks, but we have a cast member in the group, so it is doable. We went to Spoodles last year and had a wonderful time, but would like to try something different.

Where would you suggest? Thanks!

How about a buffet? Then you could get a wide variety of foods offered and load up on the carbs. I really like Cape May Cafe's seafood buffet at the Beach Club.

Boolou,

I am a long distance runner and have run several marathons and my advice would be to not eat at a Disney buffet before this event. I would pick one of the Italian restaurants and order a simple pasta dish (Tony's, Palio, Alfredo's, Mama Melrose, etc.). The buffets are very heavy on foods that are loaded with fat and wasted calories. Head to one after the event!

I have a PS for Chef Mickey's for the night before the race....yes I know buffets are very heavy on foods that are loaded with fat and wasted calories, but I like Chef Mickey's and the last time that I was there they had several pasta dishes that I really liked. I watch what I eat where ever I eat so eating at Chef Mickey's isn't that different then eating someplace else, but I get to be social with Mickey and friends and get to see the Monorails go by.

How about Portobello Yacht Club and load up on the Spaghettini a la Portobello?

A thread about running and looking for carbs?

Most folks these days are running alright,
but mostly it's running away FROM carbs!

I know it's in a park, but I think Alfredo's at Epcot has the best pasta. The fettucini plates are pretty good sized, but then again, the sauce may be a little heavy for someone who is going to run the next day. I'm sure that they could make changes (Plain or with a little EVOO) if you requested.
