The Running Thread - 2018

[ZellyB]

Congrats @Ariel484 and great job continuing those workouts.

I had three great nieces/nephew at my house last night for a family celebration. Two of them are right at 6 months old and I was holding my great niece and it was so awesome. She's all plump and soft and her little head just smelled so lovely. My shoulder was completely soaked in saliva by the end as she's teething and was gumming away at my shoulder most of the time. Babies are amazing and beautiful and wonderful and exhausting and frustrating and simply miraculous. Enjoy!

I hope monster pup falls instantly in love!

Also, I hate the gym and don't go. That is the extent of my contribution to the gym discussion.

I don't really have a favorite drink at Disney although I'm wanting to try that ice cream martini or something like that that @FFigawi posted about once.

Happy Friday Everyone! It's time for another edition of the Fun Friday Question of the Day.

QOTD: Keeping with this week's beverage theme, what is your favorite thing to drink at Disney?

Somehow, after entering IG at Epcot I get magnetically drawn to the Rose & Crown kiosk for a bass ale. This has been going on since the late 90s so I would call it a long term relationship.

 

[apdebord]

ATTQOTD: Too many to choose! Anything from La Cava, Tahitian Torch from Trader Sam’s, Dole Whip float with vanilla, Bumblebee from Rose and Crown

ATTQOTD: Man, I guess I am doing Disney wrong. But I am going to base this on the fact that I have only been to WDW once so I haven't explored all it's gloriousness and Disneyland/DCA just don't have that many drinks, maybe? I always get a Starbucks but that's just because I need coffee to survive. Otherwise, I am just here for the food snacks.

 

[KSellers88]

ATTQOTD: Do milkshakes at 50s Primetime Cafe count? Other than that I only really drink Sprite or water, LOL. I spend my money on popcorn and ice cream.

 

[FFigawi]

QOTD: Keeping with this week's beverage theme, what is your favorite thing to drink at Disney?

I have too many favorites to choose from...

- the first post-race beer in the parking lot
- any of the rum cocktails at Trader Sam's
- the jalapeno margarita at La Cava
- the vintage rose Champagne at Victoria & Albert's

I don't really have a favorite drink at Disney although I'm wanting to try that ice cream martini or something like that that @FFigawi posted about once.

And of course the ice cream martini in France

ATTQOTD: I can't say that I have an absolute favorite. My beverage consumption at Disney goes something like this:

Morning: Coffee to get me going to hit rope drop
Afternoon: Water, because its HOT in Florida
Evening: Beer (of any sort) to reward myself for keeping up with the touring demands of my kids

Oh good, I thought I was the only one. I only drink coffee and soda or bottled water at Disney.

 

[jmasgat]

ATTQOTD: The ice cream parlor in France has this drink(?) where you get a scoop of ice cream and then they pour coffee over it. So yeah... that. Delicious.

That would be an affogato. Done well, they are heavenly. I had one at a local place recently. It was nitro ice cream, so incredibly smooth, and a shot of espresso.

As for me, I don't have a favorite, per se. But I do make sure that any race trip involves a reward of a chocolate milkshake---whoever does the thickest most chocolaty. Did I say milkshake? I meant frappe, of course.

Happy Friday Everyone! It's time for another edition of the Fun Friday Question of the Day.

QOTD: Keeping with this week's beverage theme, what is your favorite thing to drink at Disney?

(Ghiradelli milkshake? Violet Lemonade? A certain German Beer?)

Milkshake at 50’s.

 

[TheHamm]

ATTQOTD: Disneyland/DCA just don't have that many drinks, maybe?

This has been a topic of planning in my home of late, and we too believe the drink selection does not scale with surface area of the parks.
