How to Get Easy Fuel for Your Morning Run
Since most quick-service dining locations won’t be open early, planning is essential. Here are three ways to have the fuel you need:
1. Pick Up Snacks the Night Before
Visit your resort’s quick-service location in the evening to grab small, portable snacks like a banana, granola bar, or applesauce pouch. Some resorts have a little bakery or baked goods in the quick service area of the resort. Be sure to check there or ask a cast member if you can’t find what you’re looking for. Keep in mind that availability depends on the resort’s hours and selection, so flexibility is important.
2. Order Groceries for Delivery
For more control over your pre-run fuel, consider having groceries delivered to your resort. This ensures you have your preferred snacks, but be prepared for potential substitutions if specific items are unavailable. Planning ahead will help you adapt if needed. We’ve used Amazon Prime and Kroger Delivery to have the food delivered to the resort.
3. Pack Your Own Fuel
If you rely on a specific pre-run snack, bringing it with you is the best option. This guarantees you have exactly what you need. However, if flying, check airline restrictions for carry-on food and consider the risk of lost luggage if packing snacks in checked bags.
Best Pre-Run Snacks
Not sure what to eat? Stick to simple, easily digestible foods that you’ve tested before. Here are some great options:
- Granola bars (my favorite!!)
- Applesauce packets
- Bagels (plain or with peanut butter)
- Dry cereal
- Bananas
- Sports drinks
- Energy gels or packets (e.g., Generation UCAN – These packets are the way to go!)
Prepare the Night Before for a Smooth Morning
If you’re an early riser, setting out your gear and fuel the night before can make your morning stress-free. With the right preparation, you’ll be fueled, focused, and ready to enjoy your run at Walt Disney World!
Then once you’re done, grab a fun treat on the property! Such as beignets at Disney’s Port Orleans!
