2004 Poll reloaded
Thought it might be fun to update my poll of 2004:
"
Having spend some time reading discussion boards this week, there is one thing that occurs to me and that is that:
WDW has something for everyone!
The views on the boards are so diverse! We all have different tastes and circumstances and yet we are united in that we all love the place! My favourite restaurants/rides/shows/resorts are a unique set, as are the next person's! This makes it hard to recommend with confidence, but still lots of fun!
A good example was that I was amazed to read under a Dining report that someone doesn't lke the buffet at the Crystal Palace! It is my wife's favourite place to eat in WDW and we always go at least twice each trip! I considered questioning on the boards what they didn't like. But instead, I decide to write this new post!
I thought that to demonstrate this we should have a quick and punchy pole on Intercoters' favourites (one short answer for each only please!):
Park
Resort
Restaurant
Counter service outlet
Ride
Show
Snack
Music
Parade
Store
Non-park pastime at WDW
For the record, I'll attempt to give you my personal favourites and I'll bet I never see anything like a good match:
Park: Hollywood Studios
Resort/hotel: Wilderness lodge
Restaurant: Brown Derby
Counter service outlet: Pizza Planet!
Ride: Tower of terror!
Show: Reflections, Illuminations of Earth
Snack: Mickey Premium bar
Music: EPCOT Entrance Music in 2000
Parade: EPCOT: Tapestry of Nations
Store: Mouse Gear
Non-park pastime at WDW: Speed boats on bay lake
..hope this is fun! I know how hard it is picking just one thing in each category!
