Love the survey. I'm sure everyone got a good kick out of it. If I sent that out everyone would just roll their eyes at me and tell me i'm obsessed.

Glenn, creating a survey to prepare ADRs is such a funny idea! And I hope your travelling party was amused, you did put a lot of effort into it to make it interesting. I had to laugh about the male/female question before I had seen that you repeated this question with more sensible answers again!!

I wonder - did you choose that you would be paying yourself or did you choose that you hope your parents would pay for your meals?

It pays to hang around the DIS on a Saturday afternoon! Well, I don’t know if it really pays, but you know what I mean. Good catch!

Point recap:
Dan - 3 Judy-sighting wins
Pat - 2 Judy-sighting wins
Molly - 1 Judy-sighting win
Magdalene - 1 Judy-sighting win
Rosie - 1 bonus question win
Cynthia - 1 bonus question win

I like it. You made something some family members would consider mundane or boring or crazy - Why are looking at ARD more than a year out- into something fun. Good for you.

Thanks Pat. Yes, I really wanted to start rolling some touring plans around in my head and I needed input on what peoples’ preferences were. And I knew I’d get some eyerolls if I didn’t at least liven it up a little bit.

Love your survey!

Thanks Jennifer. It was fun to both create and to review the results.

Wow...love that you used Surveymonkey to, well, literally survey your travelmates. We use it at work for various things.

It seemed like the logical way to go. I’ll bet those work subjects aren’t nearly as much fun as Disney dining. You should use it on Mark next time!

And you're so right...who doe ever suggest going out for Canadian food, eh?

Can't wait to see your choices.

It’s not something you hear, except maybe at Epcot.

HAHAHHHHHHAAAA ... Glennbo ... the use of SurveyMonkey was brilliant!! I use it a lot at work to obtain referrals for new employees, etc. I love how easy it is to develop questions and it was such a creative use to get this out to your fam ... I think you've given me an idea that will be used for October!!

Can't WAIT to read the results!!!!!

Thank you Rob! Good, I’m glad I’ve given you an idea for another use for it. It was a great tool considering that I needed input from people that weren’t right there in my own home.

 

[glennbo123]

What a great way to get opinions when travelling in a big group. Hope it helps make decisions.

It did help, but….were they the choices I would have made???

Darn....I thought we could vote too!

You can! But you response to question 9 has to be the first choice.

After reading the menu options, I'm a little hungry.

You know what? Me too.

I wanted to vote, too!

Thanks for that tease! I love me a Disney survey! Fun stuff! You get the creativity award!

Aw thanks. It was fun…definitely it was for me, and I think the recipients got a kick out of it too.

I vote Glenn pays for my food !!!!

Wait a minute – I don’t remember seeing that question on there!

Am I male or Female
Yes

Good thing I didn’t put a third choice on there!

Do Iwanr Hamburgers, chicken, shrimp and steak .. absolutely!!!!

Uh, yeaaaah. That’s an even dumber question than “do we want pictures of the NYC trip?”

Glen the survey is brilliant !!!

Thanks Rosie.

I LOVE it! What a fantastic idea. I am totally doing that on the next big trip. My family would get the biggest kick out of it.

I could see you doing that, you’re even more of a planner/organizer than I am. I’m excited that I could give you an idea for another planning tool.

I am hungry reading it though.

Oh I know. I want to click all of those boxes!

1 Judy

Pat was too quick. I had to put the Judy-smiley in there somewhere and thought that the end would be good, to reward someone who read the whole post.

Love the survey! I want someone to send it to me. Preferably someone who's going to pay for all the meals in question.

Thanks Nory! Yeah, I was waiting for someone to send it to me and I finally realized that just wasn’t going to happen.

Love the survey. I'm sure everyone got a good kick out of it. If I sent that out everyone would just roll their eyes at me and tell me i'm obsessed.

Thanks Jen…I’m glad you liked it.

Somehow I suspect they might already think that…

I think they liked it, nobody gave me any grief. I laughed at that question too…the idea came when I wrote the question and then looked at the possible buttons I could use for answers.

I wonder - did you choose that you would be paying yourself or did you choose that you hope your parents would pay for your meals?

I selected that I’d be paying….but I'm hoping for a windfall!

 

[ddluvsdisney]

Liked the survey!! It did however make me hungry and want Disney food

 

[Stringbean&Wingnut]

LOL I love your survey!!! (Especially question #7 ) That's a great way to get people involved and thinking about what they may want!

 

[BMC423]

About your questions... YES to NYC pictures, and I live here. It's always so much fun to see it from the perspective of someone else.

Love your ADR survey great questions especially towards the end! #9 being my favorite

Well good! I could go for some right now too.

Thank you Sara! It was fun and they got to provide some input, so that was good.

That's 22. Thanks!

Thanks Bicki. Who's paying should carry a little more weight, don't you think?

 

[englishrose47]

I think I need a survey to increase the interest in my ptr !!!Mmm some thoughts are coming to mind ... Marv no comments !!!

 

[rentayenta]

Dang, I wanted to vote too!

 

[englishrose47]

Dang, I wanted to vote too!

Come vote on mine !!!!

 

[MAGICFOR2]

I could give you your own question, just for you....how about George Carlin's "Can God make a rock so big that he himself can't lift it?" Or Steven Wright's "How young can you be and still die of old age?"



Sorry about my timing on that softball question. I hope you're recuperating well.



Oh yeah, good point. That is a saying we have around here, isn't it!

You're funny.

Love the survey! I have an idea - make it like the "people's choice" and let the DIS family choose your ADRs!

 

[rentayenta]

Come vote on mine !!!!

I'm on my way!

 

[afwdwfan]

I've seen Excel spreadsheets used for all kinds of methods of trip planning, but I believe this is the first time I've seen a survey. You might have taken trip planning geekhood to a whole new leve! Congratulations!

That really is a great idea though. It's a nice method for everyone to be able to give their input and you can come up with a good plan to use it to make everyone somewhat happy.

Well, you are known for your polls. Oh wait, that's poles....sorry.

I probably won't be able to get over there until the end of the workday, but I'll get there eventually.

Dang, I wanted to vote too!

I've decided that I'll do a game with the survey results, so come back to play. I'll try to post the game questions tonight or tomorrow.

You're funny.

Ooo-wee, that is one scary-lookin' smiley. I love democracy, but not that much!

Excel spreadsheets are soooo 20 seconds ago.

That really is a great idea though. It's a nice method for everyone to be able to give their input and you can come up with a good plan to use it to make everyone somewhat happy.

At least they get to feel like they had input! Time will tell if everyone is "somewhat happy".

 

[marvali]

Sorry, I had no opinion on your survey. But since I'm not even going on the trip I figured my opinion would rate somewhere just below a glommer anyway, so why bother!

 

[KatMark]

I love that chart...that is great. I think I'm going to make one up similar and present to Mark before we make our ADR's for our September trip. Sometimes he can be NOT so very helpful in making the ADR's and I don't like always picking what I want.

 

[winkers]

You're funny.

Love the survey! I have an idea - make it like the "people's choice" and let the DIS family choose your ADRs!

Good idea!! We promise to be kind!

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

Nice work on the survey! I wonder if you'll get honest answers on the demographics.

 

[glennbo123]

Sorry, I had no opinion on your survey. But since I'm not even going on the trip I figured my opinion would rate somewhere just below a glommer anyway, so why bother!

You have accurately judged where a glommer’s opinion rates.

Since you can’t participate in the survey, how about a game instead? (Check back in a few moments.)
