You've pegged my order!
Fast pass: Yzma and Kronk - this would be awesome!
Standby: Zootopia
Skip: Alice down the rabbit hole - love the movie, but there are parts that are way trippy!
Movies you wish were Disney owned, because the potential attractions would be amazing:
The Secret of NIMH
Robots
How to Train Your Dragon |

I'll leave them in that order please.
Fastpass: Frozen 2
Standby: Return to Neverland
Skip: Jungle Book 2
Things Disney gets right for your comfort:
Cleanliness
Its never too far to the next place to duck into for a quick a/c break.*
Lack of mosquitoes & other bugs
*assuming a warm weather trip is occurring. |

I believe Disney does an admirable job in all three of these areas, and it is largely taken for granted by most guests!
Fast pass: Lack of mosquitoes - they really seem to love my O-positive blood!
Standby: Proximity to the next climate controlled building
Skip: Cleanliness - put this last, realizing that it's inconsiderate guests to blame for it's lack!
CM uniforms:
Tower of Terror
Dinosaur!
Pirates of the Caribbean |

Fast pass being the job most NOT wanted:
Fast pass: Selling tickets off property
Standby: Accounting - part of my daily routine now, never really minded this kind of work.
Skip: Following horses in the parade. Wouldn't bother me at all!
Magic Kingdom attraction on which you could most happily ride uninterrupted circuits:
Big Thunder Mountain
Peoplemover
Pirates of the Caribbean |

Fastpass: Peoplemover
Standby: Big Thunder
Skip: Pirates
So, Pirates has been updated, Splash will be redone soon enough & now Jungle Cruise. What else needs an update for whatever reason?
Carousel of Progress
Disney Railroad
Small World |

Fast pass: Its a Small World - seems like I notice more animatronics not working every trip.
Standby: Carousel of Progress - NO major changes, just would like everything to work like it's intended.
Skip: Railroad - can't think of a single thing I'd like to see done with this!
With what they've shown they are capable of doing with CGI in attractions like Flights of Passage and Rise of the Resistance, what would you be interested most in seeing the imagineers attempt next:
A race around Arandelle on snow mobiles (or some of Sven's pals)
Chasing a bad guy around Zootopia on a police motorcycle
Shooting around Monstropolis |

Fastpass: Arendelle on some of Sven's pals
Standby: tooling around Monstropolis (especially if HazMat guys are around)
Skip: chasing bad guys around Zootopia. This might move up if you could taser or shoot a net gun or something at the bad guy)
One thing you wouldn't mind retaining when things go back to "normal ".
Social distancing
Lower crowd levels
Calvacades |

Fast pass: Cavalcades, but not at Magic Kingdom. Want the real parades back there!
Standby: Lower crowd levels, but the first time I'm there and see people shoulder to shoulder for fireworks I'm going to be smiling like a big idiot!
Skip: Social Distancing. Can't wait for this phrase to become history.
If people still used answering machines and land lines, who would you like to get to record your message?
Ellen as Dory
Josh Gad as Olaf
Jody Benson as Ariel |

Fastpass: Beastly Kingdoingdom (think of all the cool dark rides they could have)
Standby: Great Muppet Movie Ride
Skip: World Showcase part II (although I would love to see some new pavilions.)
Oddest or our of place addition to park/Disney Springs:
NBA Experience
Starbucks
Lightning McQueen's Racing Academy
https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/attractions/hollywood-studios/lightning-mcqueens-racing-academy/
(It's odd to me b/c you sit there, car does a quick presentation and that's really it.) |

Fast pass: NBA Experience
Standby: Starbucks
Skip: Lightning Mcqueen's Racing Academy - they really need to come up with something good in this spot. The Captain Jack experience that was here before this wasn't any better. But it is Disney, anyway!
Thinking of the photogenic spots around World Showcase, where would you like to have a professional family portrait taken?
Morocco
Japan
