HOLIDAY ROULETTE
At the end of each day of December, I will spin the roulette wheel (so to speak) in order to choose the winning restaurants (both table service and quick service) and popular snack places for that day. These winning eateries will be announced here on the following morning. So all our December reporters need to do is send in their updates, thereby placing their bets, and then wait and see where the roulette wheel stops. The more updates you send though, the better your odds of winning.
Let me explain further. There will be a winning group(s) of restaurants chosen every day from each of the following categories:

Other details/rules
- Im sure Ive forgotten some places but I will add them in as needed, according to their location
- Each winning restaurant update (both TS & QS) will receive 2 Roulette Points.
- Each winning snack update will receive 1 Roulette Point.
- Restaurant updates (both TS & QS) must include at least one entrée to qualify.
- Please don't forget to include the location in your update descriptions. For instance, if you send a pic of an ice cream cone please tell me from what specific location it was purchased, such as the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor, and not just Magic Kingdom. If you purchase a snack from a cart and include it in an update, then say Main Street cart or cart by XXXX ride. I'll then assign it to one of the Groups so that it is eligible to win a Roulette point.
- Updates will be eligible to win on the day they are sent, and not necessarily when they are eaten. So for instance, if you wait until the following day to send a dinner update, it then becomes eligible to win on that day rather than the day you ate it. Also the deadline for sending your updates is 11:00 p.m. (Eastern)to be eligible for that day. Any updates sent after that time by email (remember no texts after 11:00) will be carried over to the next day.
- Daily winners will be announced on the thread and also listed in this post. I will add a link in my signature for easy access.
Also, Bonus Points will be awarded for the following:
- First Update of the Day the first update which is sent (by text or email) after 7:30 a.m. (ET) each day will receive a Roulette point.
- All menu pics will receive 1 pt. per menu
- Including a pic of you in an update 1 pt./per reporter
- Including a pic of another member of your travel party in an update 1 pt./per person
- A pic of you or someone from your travel party enjoying a LeFou's Brew from Gaston's Tavern 1 pt./per reporter
- All updates from Monsieur Paul (formerly Bistro de Paris, to reopen in December) will receive 1 pt.
- All food updates from Universal restaurants will receive 1 pt.each
- Including a pic of at least one character at any character meals 1 pt. per meal (including the Beast at Be our Guest and Chef Remy at Chefs de France)
- All new cocktails/wine flights/beer flights (those not yet seen on this thread) will be awarded 1 pt. each. Here is the
LINK to the list of what we have so far.
- All new Disney World holiday-themed pics 1 pt. each (Here is a
LINK to the list of what we have already received.)
NOTE: Holiday-themed pics do not have to be of edible items. Anything we have not seen yet here on this thread could potentially be worth a point (subject to my discretion). So be creative with your festive photos!
Also, Miscellaneous Bonus Points may awarded at my discretion.
Okay, I think thats it. Clear as mud, right? Basically you just eat until you burst (but dont forget to take pics of your food first) and send in your updates to increase your chances of winning. Other than the Bonus Points, the rest is up to sheer luck.
So may the odds be ever in your favor...let the game begin! (on December 1st, that is.
