I can tell you one thing … the battles (er, polls) today are going to very, very brutal.  Oh, and so fun to watch!  I’ll be stopping back to see them over and over, I’m sure.

All you can eat crab legs? Mmm. Must be Cape May Cafe!

Why?  Well, take a look at this string of numbers …

32, 25, 24, 22, 21, 21, 21, 20, 20, 20, 19, 16, 16, 14, 14, 9

These are the 1st Round vote totals for our “Sweet Sixteen” restaurants.  And, what’s your point, Bob, you ask?

Drop off the top and bottom competitors.  Fifteenth-place is only separated from second-place by 11 votes.  Not impressed?  Eleventh-place is only 6 votes out of second.  Oh, OK, then.  Fourth through eleventh are a virtual dead heat!

Like I said, I smell an exciting day of voting today.  It’s anybody’s game!

Let’s get on with it, then!  VOTE for ONE Table Service in each of the four groups below.  The Top 2 finishers in each group will move on to Round 3!

Great voting yesterday, my friends!  Today, it’s more of the same!  But, first, which restaurants advanced into Round 2 yesterday?  Here they are!

• Boma – Flavors of Africa
• Liberty Tree Tavern
• Raglan Road™ Irish Pub and Restaurant
• Tusker House Restaurant
• Le Cellier Steakhouse
• California Grill
• Be Our Guest Restaurant
• Whispering Canyon Cafe

Sanaa’s delicious bread service!

So, who’s up today?  Another four groups of four, each, and an additional bunch of excruciating choices!  Like I said yesterday, we’re working with the absolute cream of the crop!  The choices are difficult.  They only get harder from here!

VOTE for ONE Table Service in each of the four groups below.  The Top 2 finishers in each group will move on to Round 2!

Yes!  What IS your absolute favorite WDW Table Service dining experience?

We see that question getting asked all of the time.  Don’t you?  I even saw it on Facebook, again, in the last couple of days!

If you could pick only one Walt Disney World table service restaurant on your next trip, which, from amongst all the parks and resorts, would you choose?

Earlier this year, we elected a literal “roll call” of Table Service dining favorites.  Resorts, parks, the whole nine yards!  Now, we tackle WDW itself!  The whole enchilada!

Folks, this is DAY 1 of a two-day 1st Round of voting!  Using the results of our previous Table Service “competitions” as a guide, I have compiled and seeded a collection of our favorite 32 sit-down restaurants.

Our job today, and tomorrow, is to work that list into our “Sweet Sixteen”!  You know the drill … VOTE for ONE Table Service in each of the four groups below.  The Top 2 finishers in each group will move on to Round 2!

Before you say it, every choice in this tournament will be excruciating!  Trust me.  We’re working with the absolute cream of the crop!

Oh, and keep in mind … if you haven’t been to one of a group’s four options, and feel you can’t make a choice as to which is your favorite, then select which of the four you would like to try.  Every vote is important, and every vote counts!

And, one last thing!  This is a HUGE vote.  Please pass it on to your friends.  Re-Tweet it!  Share it!  Let their voices be heard as well!  Now, go ahead … VOTE!
