Fast Pass: 3 hour After Hours for friends and family
Standby: All expenses paid four-day Disney Vacation for 20

Kurt Russell
Dean Jones
Hayley Mills

Based solely on their work in the 60â€™s:
Fast Pass: Dean Jones - seems like he was in just about everything back then!
Standby: Hayley Mills
Skip: Kurt Russell - he did, however, become an actor whose presence in a movie would make me want to go see it by the 80â€™s.

Best ride at night:
Slinky Dog Dash
Big Thunder Mountain
Test Track

Best restaurant/bar with entertainment in your opinion -
Yeehaa Bob at River Roost, Port Orleans Riverside
Irish dancers and/or band at Raglan Road, Disney Springs
Piano player at Rose & Crown, EPCOT World Showcase

Fast Pass: Yee-Ha Bob / River Roost
Standby: Piano player / Rose and Crown
Skip: Irish Dancers and music / Raglan Road - this would have been higher prior to our last time there. Love the entertainment, but the food was really a letdown.

You have to do all of your dining in one resort:

Polynesian
Grand Floridian
Contemporary

Best (food & view) resort restaurant to view fireworks -
California Grill (Contemporary)
Narcoosee's (Grand Floridian)
Ohana (Poly)

Fast Pass: Ohana - think view from Contemporary is probably better, but I really like the whole Poly vibe.
Standby: California Grill
Skip: Narcooseeâ€™a
