Disney This or That

Mountain I think.

You are in charge of adding/changing an amenity to all the value resorts. Which would you pick?

Casual sit down restaurant or
Extra magic hour access

Gosh, both would be very welcome. Think Iâ€™ll say the extra magic hours in the parks. Even if they only gave the Value resorts certain days for certain parks, that would be great!

You get to go on a game show for an all Disney episode.
Jeopardy or Wheel of Fortune?

Jeopardy please!

If Disney World were going to add another Christmas overlay to a ride -
Small World or
Thunder Mountain?

Although Big Thunder would no doubt be more comical, I think Small World would be interesting.

Better addition to the Canada pavilion:

A rink with the synthetic ice surface and skates available for guests or a â€œTurtle Talkâ€ type attraction with Rutt and Tuke?

I love Rutt & Tuke!!

Movie that could have a great ride - (full disclosure, I saw these & other suggestions online)

Brave - Buzz Lightyear type family friendly ride but with bow & arrow
Emperor's New Groove - roller coaster and/or flume ride not so family friendly

Gotta go with Emperorâ€™s New Groove. Just a missed opportunity with this movie!

Pictures with characters:

Short line magic shots or willing to wait 20 plus minutes for the â€œrealâ€ thing?

kraysister · Posted: Wed Nov 17, 2021 10:45 pm Post subject:

I'd go with shorter lines (although quick wave if I go by a character works for me).

Muppet Christmas Carol or either one of the Prep & Landings?

What an awful decision to have to make!

I think Iâ€™ll go with Prep and Landing, but only because I wish theyâ€™d casted known and recognized muppet characters as the three ghosts. Statler and Waldorf as â€œMarley and Marleyâ€ were perfect, and a great song, too!

Bigger downer on a trip, favorite attraction offline in:
Epcot or Magic Kingdom

Magic Kingdom. I have a lot of favorites in that park.

You can bring back either DisneyQuest or Adventurers' Club. Which do you pick?

schinkus98 · Posted: Mon Nov 22, 2021 1:48 pm Post subject:

Adventurerâ€™s Club in a second!

Itâ€™s a hot, non park day. Are you in the pool or in the game room?

kraysister · Posted: Tue Nov 23, 2021 11:19 pm Post subject:

Definitely the pool.

Assuming you want to avoid them, which of these are you less successful at avoiding?

The Frontierland drums/statues that spit water or
The spitting camels by the Magic Carpet ride?

schinkus98 · Posted: Fri Nov 26, 2021 9:21 am Post subject:

The drums/statues. Never thinking about it through there until I get hit. Always makes me laugh, though!

Disney Dining: Could you be content eating every meal in a park or do you need to hit at least one place in Disney Springs or a resort?

kraysister · Posted: Sun Nov 28, 2021 9:12 am Post subject:

If only all the restaurants were open & back to normal....

In the past we've always mixed it up between parks & resorts. Getting to/from Disney Springs always seemed to take too long.

(Last trip, when so many restaurants were closed & the parks closed early, heading over to Disney Springs for dinner fit right in.)

Bring back buffets or keep them as all you care to enjoy - the hybrid buffet concept. Not as many choices, but you let the cast member know what you want & they bring it to you.

schinkus98 · Posted: Mon Nov 29, 2021 7:20 am Post subject:

Interesting question. I'm inclined to say go with the all you can eat brought to the table, as I've always been a little bugged at buffets. It's pretty gross when you see someone lick something off a finger than proceed to grab the spoon in the next station. However, an experience like Boma would be impossible to have, with all those unique options available on the buffet there. So I'm going to say I'll just put on my blinders and stick with the classic buffet experience!

Should guests staying at Deluxe Resorts (and thus spending substantially more money) have more in park perks than Value guests (talking additional extra magic time, maybe an enhanced genie +, stuff like that)?

kraysister · Posted: Wed Dec 01, 2021 7:51 pm Post subject:

I don't think so, no. What makes a deluxe resort "deluxe" for me is location & amenities (e.g. better or more pools, multiple bars and restaurants).

I think perks such as extra magic hours, enhanced genie+ etc should be a perk for all on property guests. Bugs the ever living out of me that extra magic night hours are for deluxe hotel guests only. And I regularly stay at the deluxe hotels.

Disney is trying to clean up its food act (hypothetically) and you're helping...
Do you get rid of turkey legs or one of the super high sugar/high fat cupcakes?
