So, I’ve learned a really hard lesson about Walt Disney World’s web site … as well as my own ability to use their sort function.
This is what I do when I construct a dining poll. I go to the WDW website. I query Dining. I select Resorts … ALL of them. That will become important in a minute. Finally, in the case of this week’s poll, I filtered further to select Table Service options.
That’s where everything, evidently, went way wrong.
You guys are the best to NOT have noticed. Really. And, if you DID notice and kept it to yourself, you’re a gem. May all your days be “magical”.
Frankly, I didn’t even catch it until after I had already published yesterday’s “Round of 16”. What is it, you ask? The BoardWalk restaurants didn’t make it onto the first-round list of “competitors”!
Why? Because Disney doesn’t list them under Resorts. They list them under “Other”. Huh?! Now, what do I do with that?!
I stressed out over it all day yesterday.
I suppose I could have just proceeded as if nothing was wrong and moved on to Round 3 today. But, Flying Fish Cafe is such a popular dining destination.
The chef’s counter at Flying Fish!
Despite its impending closure, Kouzzina by Cat Cora® still plays a key role in WDW’s culinary landscape.
And, of course, there’s also the BoardWalk’s more casual options – ESPN Club and Big River Grille & Brewing Works.
All of these, at the very least, deserve a chance at “the prize”. So, what in “The World” do I do?
Here it is … my friends, we interrupt this week’s poll for an Eight-Attraction Playoff! What?!
Including yesterday’s votes, these are the four restaurants that have received the lowest number of our votes.
- Artist Point
- The Wave… of American Flavors
- Captain’s Grille
- Shula’s Steak House
There’s one poll below. In it, our “forgotten four” will battle for the right to enter the tournament. How? They will need to vanquish the four table services listed above. The prize? A spot in a repeat of yesterday’s “Round of 16”! Yes. Four of these eight will enter, or re-enter, the tournament. Then, we’ll jump into the “Sweet Sixteen” one more time.
It’s simple. One poll. You can vote for as many as FOUR of these establishments. That’s right. Four. Get to it, my friends. On behalf of Disney and myself, I’m very sorry to make you do the extra work, but … well, it’s the fair thing to do!
Bon appetit!
