We never truly settled this. I’m bored at work so I thought we should have a naming poll

If “Other” wins any poll we’ll do a run off if needed.

For me the confusion is that in Orlando the area is made up of two sections Super Mario Land and Donk Kong Country. I keep wanting to combine World / Land… :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I voted, but I suspect I won’t actually settle on how I actually call each of them for a while. I noticed my votes were inconsistent. Some I picked a name (Fyre) and other the abbreviation. No rhyme or reason really.

What makes DKC even more confusing is that it’s a video game, originially released for the Super Nintendo (no Land or World, the video game console) :smiley:

I voted with the majority in almost every case.

With WDW we have established a precedent that we use initials (GOTG). I tend to refer to rides named after a character by the character’s name (Pooh).

Where Epic’s lands have names, I’m inclined to use them: so it’s Berk and Darkmoor for me. The Harry Potter area is difficult because it’s Paris, but the ride isn’t. I like BATM or BAM for the ride.

We have an actual TIE for Mine-Cart Madness right now! There’s a couple other really close ones too - Hiccup’s Wing Gliders and Battle at the Ministry!

We have around 23 - 24 voters. However, in some poles people didn’t vote. Those 2 - 3 votes will make a difference!

If you didn’t vote on every choice you should! It will help ! :smiley:

I think you should let the ties finish as is, assuming they stay that way. Then, we can vote again on the ties.

Absolutely! Any ties we can do a run-off.

The issue may be if only the same people vote and all vote the same as before! Mine-Cart Madness as 4 options, but only 2 got votes! Ministry of Magic is similar with 3 options, but only 2 got votes! :rofl:

Maybe change the title. I bet there are folks who would chime in with a more specific invitation.

In fact please don’t expect me to consistently use whatever we end up voting for, even if I voted for it :grimacing::grimacing::rofl::rofl:
