So, our group rate for Marathon Weekend is FINALLY working and anyone who previously talked to me about booking should have received a confirmation email by now!
If anyone else is still interested in joining the group block, I have VERY limited availability for 1/7 at Pop Century - but every day is wide open between 1/8-1/14 at both Pop and CB. The rates for Pop are $122/night (plus tax) and $192/night (plus tax) for CB.
You can add on the Dining Plan at 2020 rates or discounted parks tickets at any point, if that's something you need. I believe you can also book group tickets at the discount WITHOUT having a room reservation, but let me double-check on that.
Boma is SO GOOD. Yum...Got all the food reservations we wanted except Sanaa lunch. Looks like they're not offering that anymore in January? Strange. We are going to BOMA instead, which is probably better because it'll be post half marathon and we'll be in "eat all the things" mode.
Now we just wait to book flights.... Tuesday overnight flight and leaving on the last possible plane out on Sunday evening to LAX.
Boma is SO GOOD. Yum...
Races, Resorts, Flights, ADRs... we are 100% set. Now just to make a decision on if a Marathon Magic Band is our special souvenir for 2020 and if we want to treat Disney as an 'A' race!
Which should I reserve? Tusker House or Boma for dinner? We'll be in AK that day. How hard is it to get from AK to Boma? Is it just easier to stay and eat in the park? Is it true that the food is similar? Any input is appreciated!
Boma and Tusker House have pretty much the same food.I can’t speak to the food at Tusker House, but I did Boma after the marathon this year and it was amazing. Huge selection. Beautiful resort. It’s currently my favorite WDW restaurant (granted, there’s a lot I haven’t tried).
Just my opinion, but I prefer the breakfast at Tusker House and dinner at Boma. One plus with dinner at Boma is it gives you an opportunity to enjoy an amazing resort. I love to arrive early and enjoy the sunset over the resort’s private savanna before checking in for dinner. It’s magical!Which should I reserve? Tusker House or Boma for dinner?
