Fastpass: Attractions (I will always want more attractions but to be clear, I don't consider meet & greets as attractions)
Standby: Table Service
Skip: Quick Service
Amenity you'd like added the most -
Choose which nighttime show narration/music to be piped into your hotel no matter which park or which hotel.
More rides with single rider lines
Add rule about no one under 21 after a certain hour to some of the bars/restaurants |

Fast Pass: Nighttime show and narration in your resort room - would love to go even further, have a menu of retired night shows to watch on the tv.
Standby: Under 21 rule. Can we raise it to about 40, though, for the cutoff age?
Skip: More single rider lines. Could have easily flipped the last two.
Despite its popularity, which attraction is most in danger of being “Splashed” next?
Expedition Everest
Tower of Terror
Test Track |

Fastpass: Tower of Terror (seems the easiest of the 3 to redo.)
Standby: Test Track (if only to fix the bad job they did on the 1st redo.)
Slip: Expedition Everest. (It's themed beautifully to that section of the park.)
Most likely to buy souvenirs themed to -
Guardians of the Galaxy
Tron
Tiana's Bayou Adventure |

Fast Pass: Tiana’s Bayou Adventure - As much as I hate Splash being dismantled, I do really like this movie.
Standby: Tron
Skip: Guardians of the Galaxy
Movie from which the neatest attraction could be themed:
Incredibles
Wreck-It Ralph
Big Hero 6 |

Fastpass: Big Hero 6
Standby: Wreck It Ralph (Tron for kids?)
Skip: Incredibles (not loving what they did at Disneyland & werent there already some Incredibles ideas floated & discarded for WDW?)
Bring back -
Magical Express
All the street performers/bands
Daily Mousekeeping at all hotels
1st time I went to EPCOT, there was a London double decker bus that would go around world showcase Lagoon. Reggae band playing on top level, & stopping periodically to sell red stripe beer from the bottom level. |

I’ve heard about and seen pictures of that bus in World Showcase, but it was gone before I ever went. Would love to see it brought back for special occasions!
Fast Pass: All the Street Troupe performers
Standby: Magical Express - Although we used Mears last time, with no complaints or issues about which to comment.
Skip: Daily Mousekeeping. Unless they’d also bring back offering a monetary incentive to skip this service. Even on vacation I can’t leave our beds unmade, and our bathroom might actually be cleaner when we check out than when we arrive. Yes, I have some issues!
Looking forward to the Muppets Mayhem series, giving a little more screen time to Dr Teeth and his band. What other Muppets would make for an interesting solo series or movie?
Rizzo the Rat
Statler and Waldorf
Dr Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker |

Fastpass: Dr. Bunsen Honeydew & Beaker (lots of possibilities with these 2)
Standby: Statler & Waldorf (I love them. Love to see them in a recurring Siskel & Ebert type skit, reviewing new Disney movies, attractions, restaurants, whatever.
Skip: Rizzo the Rat
Sidekick that should get a little more love in the parks -
Pascal (chameleon from Tangled)
Ray (Lightning bug from Princess & the Frog)
Scuttle (the Buddy Hacket voiced sea gull from the Little Mermaid) |

Fast Pass: A little further afield (not necessarily for beach time, though)
Standby: Celebration
Skip: Golden Oak - beautiful, but I know I’d feel like a fish out of water there.
Just have no desire to live in a big, flashy house. Give me maybe 1500 square feet and a workshop in a big backyard and I’m golden!
Disney offers you an upgrade to the resort and room style of your dreams but you have to give up:
Any and all park hopping
All of your ADR’s
Any access to Genie+/Lightning Lane |

Fast Pass: Elephants - they’ve been my favorites since I was a kid.
Standby: Tigers
Skip: Ostriches
Tinkerbell flying from the castle during fireworks is the best darn thing in the world, but if she needed a night off, who would be really cool to see going in her place?

Fast pass: Sonny Eclipse!
Standby: Table w/umbrella outside the Plaza
Skip: Upstairs or outside at Pinocchio Village Haus (but in reality, we may do all three at some point on a trip!)
You’re putting a “sleep-in day” in the middle of your next trip. After getting a great night’s sleep, what do you do with the day?
Resort hop for lunch and dinner, maybe Hoop-Dee-Do
Disney Springs
Float in the pool, doing as little physical activity as possible, getting fully recharged |
