The One Where I Ate Some Food . . .

This weekend I ran my first marathon.  I started training in the fall and was going gangbusters then it started getting cold and rainy every single freaking weekend. I don't run in rain. Just not that dedicated. Anyway marathon weekend comes and I haven't really run in several weeks. Mostly looked at my marathon as an excuse to carb load with beer. But you know what? I did not get hungry and had pretty good energy the whole time.  Exhausted yes. Hungry not really. 

Oh, I suppose I should note my marathon was at DisneyWorld. 

2 standout meals were breakfast at Ohana and dinner at Liberty Tavern.  

Both were family style and much tastier than one would think. 


Ohana does a Lilo and Stitch character breakfast. Family style just like at dinner. Fresh bread, fresh passion fruit juice, giant platters of bacon eggs and sausage. Mmmmmm.  Almost forgot about the Mickey Waffles. Simple but nicely done.  Only detraction from experience was seating. We didn't get in and start eating until 40 minutes post reservation. Brazil was visiting the parks and a giant tour group had Ohana in the morning then didn't leave which screwed up the morning for the rest of us. Thanks a lot Brazil! 

Meal 2 Liberty Tavern. Also family style "Thanksgiving" dinner. Heaping plates of steak, pork and turkey with mashed potatoes, mac n cheese, green beans and stuffing. No one at the table is a Big Mac n cheese eater. No. 3 son and I had some and that was all. The rest of it was cleaned out with seconds on steak. My favorite was the roast pork and potatoes. All the meat was fantastic which prolly means it's all injected with MSG. Dessert was a cherry bread pudding thing with ice cream. A little dry but tasty. If you've done the Ohana dinner you would recognize this as the same thing just the Americanized version. 



Also worth mentioning is the fish and chips meal from the ABC Commisary at Hollywood Studios. Hot, and good coating on the shrimp and the cod pieces.  

I'd recommend all three dining experiences at WDW.  

Headed home today where I can expect to eat candy bars and whatever fast food we come across during the 15 hours in the car. Awesome.
