The DIS DLRP Awards! VOTING IS CLOSED

[dlpSteve]

I thought it may be fun to do some awards for DLRP! Just PM me your ballots and I'll collate them and announce the winners (on a little website probably) when voting is over - how about 31st October for the closing date - that gives people 1 Month and 10 days and also means those that are away have time to come back and vote. You don't have to answer all the questions. The first set of questions can include Disney Studios atrractions but I wanted to do a seperate DS section as I feel they won't get that many votes against main park attractions and want to see what people like in the Studios. Feel free to enter more than once if other family members want their say - the more the merrier.

1. Best on-site hotel?
(e.g. Disneyland, New York, Sequoia Lodge, Newport Bay, Cheyenne, Santa Fe, Davey Crockett)

2. Best off-site hotel?
(e.g. Explorers, Holiday Inn, Kyriad etc...)

3. Best season?
(e.g. Christmas, Easter, Summer, Halloween etc...)

4. Best restaurant?
(e.g. Blue Lagoon, Auberge de Cendrillon, Luckey Nugget Salon, PLanet Hollywood, Inventions etc...)

8. Best non-ride attraction
(e.g. Alice's Curious Labyrinth, Shootin' Gallery, Adventure Isle, The Castle)

9. Best land?
(Main St USA, Frontierland, Adventureland, Fantasyland, Discoveryland)

10. Best shop?
(e.g. Emporium, The Toy Chest, Bixby Brothers, Disney & Co etc...)

11. Best parade?
(e.g. Princess, Cinema, Fantillusion, Christmas, Villain etc...)

14. Best show?

More added:

15. Best Disney Studios ride?

16. Best Disney Studios non-ride attraction?

Two more added, thanks for the idea Emma:

21. What would you like to see added?

Questions 16 and 19 may be a bit pointless - should I take them out? Question 16 seems to suffer from limited choices and question 19 could really be covered by question 4 and 5 - thoughts?

[slinky101]

what a fantastic idea, it will be great to read the results, will get my thinking cap on and PM you will my choices :wizard:

[Joanne UK]

I've sent a PM with my choices - is it ok to submit another with Amber's (DD)answers?

[dlpSteve]

I was going to add that if people want to answer for other family members that's cool - the more the better.

[Frances999]

Great Thread! PM sent! :)

[emmaness]

Hehe, great thread, will be v. interesting to see the results! I'll get my whole family to vote, too! :) I'll have to have a good think about my choices! :scratchin

[Bexx]

GREAT idea!! :Pinkbounc Love the snazzy logo - makes it look very authentic!!

[tarheelmjfan]

I love this idea!!! :cheer2: It will really help those of us planning a 1st visit. Helps us to know what "not to miss". Personally, I like the idea of separating the dining in each park. I have a list of MK restaurants we will want to try, but don't have a clue where to grab even a snack in the Studios. From what I've read, I have a feeling that none of the dining places in the Studios would make the list on #'s 4 & 5. Since I'm a DLP novice, I can't really tell, but will #4 include both the MK & DD? How about the hotel restaurants? Sorry, for my clueless questions, but I'm really excited about the possiblilites of this polls. :banana: Thanks to all who participate & help others in their planning. :goodvibes

[dlpSteve]

My intention was that anything in both parks is eligible for the first set of questions but I decided to also add Studios specific questions as they often get forgotten or else wouldn't feature against MK 'big shots'.

When the results are all in I will provide a full breakdown of every ride, attraction, hotel and restaurant that was voted for and how many votes each got and pout it all on a website along with any comments people want to make about any of the options they did or didn't vote for and a photo of each option (will be calling on those of you with vast photo collections for help there). Hopefully it will be both fun to take part in and useful to view, and we can do it every year to see how things change and include new additions to the parks.

[Miffy2003]

:goodvibes What a great idea Steve!

Is it okay if I put a copy of your "ad" in my sig too? To get as many people to vote as possible :cool1:

I need to carefully consider my choices but I will PM when I have decided ;)

[DisneyRGB]

Nice idea Steve, PM sent.

[Bexx]

Is it okay if I put a copy of your "ad" in my sig too? To get as many people to vote as possible :cool1:

I'd like to put one in too, if that's possible. It's going to be great to see the results, and sounds like it could be a very useful resource too. Nice one Steve!! :cheer2:

[Cyrano]

Well done Steve. Canvassing the troops here to poll the votes.
Of course it will be entirely without parental pressure :teeth:

Will post PM once we have all had a chance to consider.

[Bonnie]

Great idea! Have sent my list. :sunny:

[dlpSteve]

Thanks for all the votes - making some interesting results but my lips are sealed :rolleyes1

Feel free to use the banner to encourage more voting :cool1:

[Bexx]

Feel free to use the banner to encourage more voting :cool1:

Thanks - but I'm not sure exactly how to do it!!! :blush:

[dlpSteve]

Click this link (http://www.rumgone.co.uk/dlrp_awards_banner_code.html) and then copy and paste the code into your signature. Same applies to anyone who wants to use it but isn't sure how.

[Ware Bears]

Great idea Steve, I will PM you when I've asked all the family their votes.

[Squidge]

A wonderful idea - PM sent!

[emmaness]

Steve, I was just wondering - can our choices be things that are no longer running in the park, or does it have to be current things? :)

[dlpSteve]

I was thinking of current things - maybe I could add 2 questions:

- What do you most miss?

- What would you like to see added?

[Bexx]

As you can see, I've added the link - so thanks for that! And I think those two questions would definitely be worth adding. ::yes::

[diberry]

PM sent for qus 20 & 21 to add to yesterday's.

[Miffy2003]

Added the banner to my sig :)

How long will you keep voting open for Steve??

[dlpSteve]

How long will you keep voting open for Steve??

31st of October was the plan, unless people think I should give it more time?

[Miffy2003]

31st of October was the plan, unless people think I should give it more time?


I think that will be plenty of time.

I will get DH & DD to vote. Expect PMs from Disney_Jedi_Jon & Disney_Amber_UK over the weekend :teeth:

[dlpSteve]

Thanks for all the PMs so far - the Best Hotel category is predictably a very hotly contested one.

Keep those votes coming in!

If only I could send in votes anonymously!! :teeth:

Barnd new members sending in ballots with Hotel New York as the only answer in their message will be looked upon with extreme suspicion :scratchin

Darn!! :rolleyes:

:rotfl:

[emmaness]

Have just sent my choices along! :sunny:

[steve_rob]

Will be PM'ing my choices soon - no doubt DW's will follow not long after.

The only question I'd add (and I realise it's a bit too late for this now!) would be to split question 4 into two parts. 4a would be for restaurants in the parks, while 4b would be restaurants in the Village and in the Hotels. Mainly because I want to vote for one at a hotel as well as one in Disneyland Park itself.

[nicola]

Very interesting Steve. I will submit my multiple votes for HNY before Oct 31 :rotfl:

[Cyrano]

If only I could send in votes anonymously!! :teeth:
For a small consideration I could be persuaded :teeth: Wonder if I could guess your favourite hotel :rolleyes1

Reid

[Bexx]

Wonder if I could guess your favourite hotel :rolleyes1

I doubt it!!! :teeth:

For a small consideration I could be persuaded :teeth:

And what sort of consideration would that be, exactly!?! :rotfl:

[Verity Chambers]

I'm going to pm you after my october trip,if that's ok. :)

See if you can get Pixie Pin to vote as well Verity :)

I can vouch for Pixie-Pin, even though he hasn't got many posts to his name he is definitely not Becky trying to bump up the Hotel New York vote under a different user name ;)

Pixie Pin??????????????????????? :teeth:

I will attempt to get him to vote. That might take him past 10 posts!!!!!!

It's a wonder I even remember his user name to be honest ;)

[Joanne UK]

Just sent in Amber's votes with a couple thrown in from Emily as well.

[PATMAGIC]

Just sent mine, also very glad the thing you miss most was added.

[steve_rob]

Thought I'd add a reply to BUMP it up - plus the fact that I've just PM'd two sets of votes.

[chrismoo]

PM Sent

[dlpSteve]

Thanks people!

No piece of mercahndise has been nominated twice yet - lots of great ones so far.

[dlpSteve]

Just bumping this up for people who may not have seen it and new members - vote away!

Voting ends October 31st.

[emmaness]

Just sent a PM with my mum's choices and will get my dad and sister to answer ASAP! :)

[Miffy2003]

Steve, I would be very interested to hear how many completed surveys you have collected there so far :flower:

[Ware Bears]

Steve, I haven't forgotten this, we are going to sit down this weekend and do it then.

[dlpSteve]

Steve, I would be very interested to hear how many completed surveys you have collected there so far :flower:

So far we have had votes from 24 people.

[diberry]

Well done Steve - a great idea and a brilliant response!!

[Miffy2003]

So far we have had votes from 24 people.

That's a great response Steve. Do you have any objections if I post on the UK CB to see if there's anyone else who has been but perhaps doesn't come over to the DLP forum very often?

[dlpSteve]

Just 10 days to go - get those votes in!

[jax100]

we're just back from dlp again, and will sit down over the next few hours and make our votes. I will pm it to you, or is it to be emailed!!

[Ware Bears]

Have just PM'd our votes to you Steve.

[dlpSteve]

Wow - five ballots, that'll shake up the voting!

Just 5 days of voting left!

[dlpSteve]

[dlpSteve]

LAST DAY!!!!!

Get any votes in because after today the voting stops and the counting starts!

[Cyrano]

Steve, I'll be posting mine up this evening as the quiz has kept me somewhat busy ;)

[dlpSteve]

VOTING IS NOW CLOSED

Thanks to all who have sent in their choices - I'll count up all the votes and announce the results when I get some time. If you meant to give in your choices but forgot then you still can PM me with them but be quick because as soon as I start counting up the results no more entries will be allowed.

Thanks again people :wave2:

[Cyrano]

Sorry Steve didn't get a chance to post.
Will be interesting to see the results :)

[dlpSteve]

If you send them in today they'll still go towards the totals - I have a busy day so people have a good few hours grace with late entries.

[Cyrano]

Steve, my nose is getting the better of me and I wondered how the results were looking :)

[dlpSteve]

I've been and am still on hols at the moment so spending very little time on my PC - when I return to work on Monday I'll get going on the results.

[Miffy2003]

Thank you Steve!

And thank you for all your work with this :)

[Cyrano]

I've been and am still on hols at the moment so spending very little time on my PC - when I return to work on Monday I'll get going on the results.
Hope you are enjoying your break :)

[nicola]

Just wondering did Steve ever get the results of the 'DIS Awards' posted? I was offline for a few months and now have done a few searches but can't find results.

[diberry]

Not yet Nicola but we're all agog too when Steve comes back off leave!! :Pinkbounc
