Think I'm going with the order you've created.
Fast pass: Can't get around some slow walkers (do you have to walk five wide, really!?!)
Standby: Wrong side with a parade happening (seems to happen on 50% of our Magic Kingdom days)
Skip: Needless line jumpers (more bothered by the "lone" rider being joined by 5-6 friends/family members as they get close to the loading point)
Movie with great potential to be the next thrill ride at WDW:
Wreck-It Ralph
Wall-E
Onward |

Fast pass: In park live cams on resort tv - great idea!
Standby: Seasonal decor in the parks beyond Halloween and Christmas
Skip: Music changes - I do love music from the film's, but I like how just hearing certain music puts images of Epcot or Main Street USA in your head.
French animated characters it would be fun to see/meet in the French pavilion at World Showcase:
Ratatouille
Aristocats
Hunchback of Notre Dame |

Have two friends who've taken jobs at our local Disney Store. Employees get to pick a Disney character name to put on their CM id pins, along with their name (they picked Hercules and Captain Marvel). Would you pick:
A Disney movie character
A Star Wars character
A Marvel character |
