Disney Thing or Thing

Amphicar - that just looks like fun!

Disney Springs (again),
Food first or shopping first?

Food! (I'm really not big on shopping)

Of the original Magic Kingdom rides, which one do you like better?

Dumbo the Flying Elephant or Mad Tea Party?

Bouncing Dumbo

The music gives the edge to the Mad Tea Party!

Should they ever decide to replace Tinkerbell flying from the castle as the night time fireworks show climax (perish the thought), who would be better?

Buzz Lightyear or Aladdin on the Magic Carpet?

Buzz would be awesome.

Mobile order lunch or not?

Looking forward to trying this on our next trip, so it's a yes from me!

Should therapy animals ( not talking about SERVICE animals ) be allowed in the parks?

Yes or no

kraysister · Posted: Mon Jun 10, 2019 6:13 pm Post subject:

No, as things are currently. There is no standard of training, no certification, nothing. Service animals are well trained, working animals.

Some woman tried to bring her therapy peacock (on a leash but no cage)onto a plane in Boston. (She was denied).
I empathize with people for whom a therapy animal really improves their quality of life, but too many people abuse the notion. I just see it becoming a free for all and nothing can be said or done b/c "this alligator is my therapy animal".

Whoops, OK, just fell off my soapbox.....

Pin trading - yes or no?

We never got in to pin trading, but it certainly looks fun. There are some very cool ones out there!

Souvenirs:
Do you prefer the all encompassing WDW items or do you go for more attraction specific things?

kraysister · Posted: Wed Jun 12, 2019 6:12 am Post subject:

I rarely buy souvenirs but when I do it's usually of the "oh crap it's cold, I need a jacket" variety. I'll go with all encompassing!
Favorite purchase was actual glass martini glasses with Mickey head/ears etched into them.

Speaking of souvenirs - get something every time or only when something really really strikes your fancy?

schinkus98 · Posted: Wed Jun 12, 2019 7:50 am Post subject:

Every time, definitely!

Most possibilities as a land in a park:
Agrabah or Arendelle

Agrabah! Cave of Wonders, a really cool flying carpet experience and I like the music.

Better Disney franchise - Pirates or Toy Story?

schinkus98 · Posted: Fri Jun 14, 2019 7:41 am Post subject:

Wow, tough call!
Although I think the Toy Story franchise will truly be timeless, my personal preference is the Pirates movies!

Animal Kingdom trails:
Maharajah Jungle Trek or Gorilla Falls Exploration trail?

kraysister · Posted: Sat Jun 15, 2019 10:35 pm Post subject:

Maharajah Trek by a smidge.

Kilimanjaro Safaris -
During the day (can see more animals, but not very active/vocal) or
During the night (sometimes have to really look for them, but animals are more active/vocal)

Nighttime sounds pretty cool, but I think I still prefer daytime, especially early in the day.

Fast Pass plus or the old paper fast pass system?

kraysister · Posted: Mon Jun 17, 2019 1:40 pm Post subject:

I like the old paper passes only because if you weren't able to use, it was so much fun to give them to random strangers.
If there was an easy safe way to do this electronically, I'd be all for that.

Who is more "Disney"? Johnny Depp or Kurt Russell

schinkus98 · Posted: Tue Jun 18, 2019 6:07 am Post subject:

Was leaning toward Kurt Russell, but then remembered all the stories about Depp going out and greeting kids in full Captain Jack regalia during the production of the Pirates movies. That gives the win here to Johnny Depp!

When do you put on your Magic Bands,
On the way to the airport or not until you're on property?
