Marathon Weekend 2018

[lhermiston]

When we do the dining plan, I start off each morning by filling up my mug with blue Powerade (the girls get hot chocolate). It's my secret to my iron man approach to touring. I'm also a sucker for fountain Sprite with lots of ice wherever I go.

Alcohol-wise: I had some boozy drink in a pineapple at Ohana that wasn't too bad. The bourbon lemonade slushie at the American pavilion in Epcot was good, too.

One on these years, I'll do DATW with you all and sample some new stuff.

Virgin Pina Colava for me. I can't drink alcohol or soda so I'm semi limited on what I can get.

Not sure I have a specific favorite drink,but the beer we got in Germany as we were finishing last year's marathon was pretty spectacular.

 

[hotblooded]

Today's question: anything with ginger beer in it, or ginger beer by itself, for that matter.

Today's Question: Itialian margarita in Epcot!

My husband always meets me with an ice-cold beer outside of Beach Club ... this year, I actually took it with me into the backstage area at Epcot and I thought the guards were telling me to throw it out, when really they just wanted to make sure that I had a bib on.

I have 2 new favorites from my last trip - the grapefruit bier in Animal Kingdom and the strawberry margarita in Pandora. Both were awesome on very hot days.

Yeah we got that little preview of the medals about this time last year. It would nice to get a glimpse at what they are planning for the 25th medal.

My DATW would consist of me passed out in Norway (if starting from Mexico) or The UK (if starting from Canada)...

Why not make 2018 that year? We'll be out there again on Monday like always.

Unfortunately, annual trips are not in the cards for me and my 2019 trip will be with the whole family. I'll drink a margarita that day and be there in spirit.

My favorite beverage is the Dragones Top shelf Margarita at La Cava. But really, I'll take a margarita anywhere as long as it has lime juice and not sour mix

Non-Alcoholic, the frozen lemonade from Chesire Cafe in Magic Kingdom - this one is not because its deliciously refreshing, it is more nostalgic. I can remember getting one back in 1993 with my then boyfriend (now husband) on our first trip to Disney together. Then, when my son was a young toddler and we were there for New Years week there was a hot day and he had some and made the funniest face as he experienced the sourness of it. He's allergic to dairy and egg, so there are a lot of things he can't enjoy at Disney, but he loves those frozen lemonades

Today's question: do you have a favorite Disney beverage?

Okay, so I honestly can't keep up with the beverages in WDW because there are so many good ones and I don't go down enough. I am a huge fan of DCL's mango margarita.

Medals were announced...LAST YEAR...around Sep 23....hoping they will be announced soon - maybe they'll do it at the Paris race?

So, they've been announcing medals on "Medal Mondays" for the last few weeks so I figured it would be announced either this week or next week. I'm guessing the official announcement might be next week but that we may get a glimpse from those in Paris this coming week.

Edit: I forgot to add I'm currently #BayouBuddies/#CajunCrew but that could change if for some reason our DVC waitlisted spot opens up.

Today's question: do you have a favorite Disney beverage?

Does a Dole Whip Float count?

I'll go ahead and answer that: Yes.

DD28 and I will be out there, maybe make a few more countries this year!

We are #SultansOfSprings, but will be partying with you social people this year as we are coming in earlier.

And a medal reveal would really help out this Monday I have going on!

Today's question: do you have a favorite Disney beverage?

This #AllStarAllStar dumped a Lapu Lapu over a dole whip years ago and have loved it ever since. DP would say anything from La Cava.

So, I unfortunately have waited to the last minute with booking a hotel for Marathon Weekend. As of right now, all of the values are sold out. The only two moderates available are Coronado and Caribbean beach.

Since it's only me going, I was hoping to get a room at Pop like last year. Am I out of luck, or is it possible more rooms could open up?

You can always keep checking but it's very unlikely more rooms will open up.
