Fast pass: Bernard - never thought about it, but he's a PERFECT fit!
Standby: Olaf
Skip: Nick Wilde - I envy his ability to play a little loose, when it comes to rules.
Villain songs:
Poor Unfortunate Souls
Shiny (Moana)
Friends on the Other Side
World Showcase will be different, no doubt. We usually do the "pick a pearl" in Japan, but not sure it'd be as much fun. Never have a clue what the young lady assisting you at this is saying, but she's so excited and enthusiastic it's impossible not to smile. |

Fastpass: Poor Unfortunate Souls - big showstopper for a big villain!
Standby: Friends on the Other Side (love the imagery)
Skip: Shiny (love this song too though)
You're going to be (or voice) the main star's indispensable sidekick in the next installment of a Disney movie:
Captain Jack Sparrow
The witches from Hocus Pocus
Mushy (haha ha) from Mulan
Poor Jock's Hangar Bar. Finally got the okay to open & then Florida backtracked on having bars (establishments that derive 50% or more of their income from alcohol) reopen. Not sure what time they opened, but they closed by 3pm.
Also - buy your Splash Mountain souvenirs while you can! |

Fast pass: Mushy - like the idea of him being the primary character in a movie, and I think I'd prefer being animated!
Standby: Captain Jack
Skip: Hocus Pocus witches
Hero songs!
"I Can Go the Distance" - Hercules
"One Jump Ahead" - Aladdin
"Reflection" - Mulan
I'm so tired of all the crap. Just want to get out of reality in the Disney bubble long enough to recharge.
We should probably pick up all the Splash Mountain gear we can. Go on eBay with it when the refurb starts! |

Given the number of restaurants not open yet, where do you think you'll eat dinner most often in your next trip?
A resort
Downtown Disney
Whatever park you're in that day.
Was trying to make reservations tonight, was taking forever, still have 3 more nights. Difficult when we normally end the night at EPCOT specifically to have dinner & walk around World Showcase. Have EPCOT park reservations 2x while we're there. Going to Via Napoli & San Angel Inn. |

Fast pass: Disney Springs - figure this will be easier than getting to different resorts, so we've been checking out menus!
Standby: Resorts - hopefully we can try a couple. Might be using Minnie Vans to do it.
Skip: Parks - sad about this, but with just a ten hour day we don't want to lose any more park time than we have too.
Have you read any of the Disney inspired book series'?
Kingdom Keepers
Twisted Tales
Peter and the Starcatchers
Our new ADR day is Tuesday, so we'll see what we can get. Think we're shooting for the same two in Epcot. |

Haven't read any I'm sorry to say. Based on the titles alone...
Fastpass: Twisted Tales (loved Fractured Fairytales, part of a cartoon show I watched as a kid. Can't remember the shows name.)
Standby: Kingdom Keepers
Skip: Peter & the Starcatchers
Old(ish) cartoon shows -
Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers
Talespin (Junglebook characters)
DuckTales (Scrooge, Huey, Dewey & Louie)
Goodluck with the ADRs. We did notice we could get dinner reservations 15-30min before park close so hopefully you wont miss too much park time. Also read that for any sit down restaurant, a reservation is required. Pretty sure (but not 100% sure) that included Disney Springs. |

Fast pass: Duck Tales (ooh OOH ooh)
Standby: Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers
Skip: Tailspin
What picture would be on your desk at work?
You/your family on a ride
You/your family with a character
You/your family in front of a park icon (which Walt called "weenies". Makes me smile!)
Got all the ADR's we wanted! Decided last night to try Spice Road instead of Via Napoli. We're going to try Raglan Road in Disney Springs, too. Never been, so looking forward to that. |

Fastpass: on a ride
Standby: in front of park icon
Skip: with a character
Disney mode of transportation -
Flying Carpet (Aladdin)
Flying Bed (Bedknobs & Broomsticks)
Flying Car (The Absent Minded Professor)
Yay on the ADRs. We'll also be trying out Raglan Road for the 1st time. To be fair, we don't normally spend a lot of time at Disney Springs....
Did you hear - no stretching room pre-show at Haunted Mansion; social distancing just wasn't possible. Wonder how or if other pre-shows will be affected? |

Fast pass: Flying Car
Standby: Flying Carpet
Skip: Flying Bed
Who's inventions would be the most useful?
Hiro (Big Hero Six)
Louis (Meet the Robinson's)
Maurice (Beauty and the Beast)
Saw that about Haunted Mansion. Going to guess we'll be cruising right through all the preshow rooms, like at Tower or Dinosaur. I won't like that, but I understand. I've just always thought of the preshow as part of the attraction. Be nice if they could make them available with limited occupancy, and you could have the choice of bypassing it or waiting a little longer to get the whole experience. Seems like that could be doable to me. |

I think that order will work for me.
Fastpass: Hiro
Standby: Louis
Skip: Maurice (his were a little scary, never knew if/when one would blow up)
If there are no pre-shows presently, which would you miss the most?
Tower of Terror
Muppets 3-D
Haunted Mansion
Make sure you have a QR reader on your phone. Saw that a lot of places are trying to utilize on line menus. So there will be a card on the table for you to scan to get the menu. If you haven't done it before, on line ordering (for lunch at least) is great! |

Fast pass: MuppetVision 3D - almost say I like the preshow more than the real one
Standby: Haunted Mansion
Skip: Tower of Terror
Secondary characters for whom you'd like to see a full feature made:
Frozone (Incredibles)
Bruce and the other sharks (Finding Nemo)
Roz (Monsters Inc)
We do like the online ordering, as well. Worked quite well for us several times last year! |

An extra item you consider bringing but don't end up packing but kinda wish you had...
extra sunglasses
Rain boots (or gators so your sneakers stay dry),
Real beach towel for the pool
Going onto Amazon to order disinfectant wipes for plane & some rides. Possibly some anti-fogging stuff for the sunglasses. And a UV umbrella. Lines might be moving at a good rate but seems like the extended parts of the line are in direct sunlight. |

Fast pass: Beach towel
Standby: Rain boots/gators
Skip: Sunglasses (worn regular glasses since I was
Disney attraction music:
Carousel of Progress
Enchanted Tiki Room
Country Bears Jamboree
We've always taken a pack of Lysol or Clorox wipes to use on the airplane. Think this will be the first year we don't get strange looks for doing it. Since none of the night shows or real parades are happening, wouldn't it be cool if Disney would air a recording of one every night on a resort TV channel? Something to look forward to at 9:30 every night, say Fantasmic one night and Festival of Fantasy parade the next. Could probably do a couple every night, no longer than they really are. |
