Great question! Here's the followup.

Queues in general - Haunted Mansion, Toy Story Midway Mania, Pirates of the Caribbean

Such a tough call. Usually give the top spot to the Mansion!

Fast pass: Pirates
Standby: Mansion
Skip: Toy Story

Rate the movie based on the soundtrack:
Tangled, Princess and the Frog, Mulan

Fastpass: Mulan
Standby: Tangled
Skip: Princess and the Frog

I think Disney is doing a good job on improving the queues, much more interactive (and cooler for some of the rides. I'm looking at you Dumbo and your air conditioned circus tent)

Area music in Magic Kingdom
Main Street
Adventureland
Tomorrowland

Fast pass: Main Street USA
Standby: Tomorrowland
Skip: Adventureland

Imagine a "Villain's Land" in Magic Kingdom. Which character would you most like to see the flagship attraction themed after?

Maleficent, Captain Hook, Cruella De Vil

Fastpass: Cruella de Vil
Standby: Maleficient
Skip: Captain Hook

Imagine the ride they could develop using Cruella driving her car like a maniac.

Favorite non-thrill ride
People Mover
Disney Railroad
Monorail

Fast pass: Railroad
Standby: People Mover
Skip: Monorail
Prefer open air rides to sit back and recharge!

I think the restaurants that are a tie-in to an attraction are an excellent idea. Love the Jungle Cruise theming in Skipper Canteen. How about other attractions to tie a restaurant to?

Monster's Inc Laugh Floor (thinking like a Monster's Inc employee cafeteria), Pirates of the Caribbean, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.

Fastpass: Monsters Inc
Standby: Pirates
Skip: Big Thunder

Which ride/attraction is most in need of an update?
Mickey's Philharmagic, Muppets 3D, Carousel of Progress (the last scene at least)

Fast pass: Muppets 3D
Standby: Carousel of Progress
Skip: Philharmagic

I truly do not like Waldo. And Bean Bunny is not a favorite either.

Epcot attractions you wish had a longer ride duration:

Soarin', Spaceship Earth, Test Track

kraysister · Posted: Tue Jun 04, 2019 10:41 am Post subject:

Fastpass: Soarin'
Standby: Test Track (esp the fast but outside)
Skip: Spaceship Earth

Last trip there, did Test Track single rider. Something malfunctioned, and the outside bit went maybe 1mph. 1mph. The whole way around. I was on the right hand side of the car & had to hang onto the outside of the car going around the banked turn. Kinda funny now, but man was it hot outside.

When "this ride" is done, it bums you out the most.

Space Mountain
Soarin'
Star Tours

schinkus98 · Posted: Thu Jun 06, 2019 6:36 am Post subject:

Fast pass: Soarin'
Standby: Star Tours
Skip: Space Mountain

Soarin' is just so exhilarating. I really want to start clapping as we "land".

Most depressing sight:
Your resort room on checkout day, with all your stuff packed back in the bags,
The last look back at the castle leaving Magic Kingdom for the last time,
Seeing guests lined up in the queue heading to a park when you're heading to the airport.

They're all depressing....

Fastpass: Seeing guests heading into a park
Standby: last look at the castle
Skip: resort room with bags packed.

How do you prefer to book your Disney vacation?

DIY all the way
Disney specific travel agent
Call the mouse directly

Fast pass: DIY all the way
Standby: Call direct
Skip: Travel Agent

We tweak our plans a couple of times a week after it's all booked, adjusting ADR's and things like that. I'm sure we'd have a travel agent pulling their hair out by the time we actually went on the trip!

Disney features that were slammed by critics but you kind of liked anyway:
The Lone Ranger
The Good Dinosaur
Mars Needs Moms
