New Game! "Fast Pass, Standby or Skip?"

kraysister · Posted: Wed Feb 26, 2020 11:11 am Post subject:

Fastpass: Toy Story - I love Woody & Buzz, but if hope that more secondary characters were there too!)
Standby: Monsters Inc
Skip: Princess & the Frog

Possibly no longer a hypothetical question since Spaceship Earth is closing in May for a major upgrade.

The next narrator should be:
Keep Dame Judi Dench/bring back Jeremy Irons
James Earl Jones
Julie Andrews

It's fun to think about ones like this!

Fast pass: Julie Andrews
Standby: Judi Dench/Jeremy Irons (would be my number 1 choice if they could both provide narration)
Skip : James Earl Jones (some folks would hear Mufasa, but I'd hear Darth Vader!)

Sounds like the new Canada video (Canada: Far and Wide) is ready to go with Catherine O'Hara and Eugene Levy narrating. But other options could have been:

Mike Myers
Jay Baruchel
Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas

Fastpass: Mike Myers
Standby: Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas (their scene in brother bear. Hahahaha)
Skip: Jay Baruchel

Favorite animal to see on the safari!
Lions
Elephants
Giraffes

I had the same driver on 2 separate visits, a year apart. Wicked Boston accent - think stalks for storks - I was translating the odd word or two for people around me.

Dessert parties!
Star Wars Galactic Spectacular (Hollywood Studios)
Frozen Ever After (Epcot)
Happily Ever After (Magic Kingdom)

Fastpass: Happily Ever After (MK)
Standby: Frozen Ever After (EPCOT)
Skip: Star Wars Galactic Spectacular (Studios)

Have done 1 dessert party. I think it was Wishes, but definitely Magic Kingdom. Not sure I'd do another one. For me, price vs consumption is way out of balance.

You'll be working for Disney.
Front line job - e.g. hotel concierge, ride operator
Behind the scenes - e.g. feeding animals, decorating for holidays
Corporate - no where near the parks/hotels, but involved with decision making on new attractions, etc.

Fast pass: Behind the scenes
Standby: Front lines
Skip: Corporate

Made my choices purely on perceived stress/pressure with each position, although working behind the scenes would be my clear favorite!

For what attraction would you like most to have been a part of the imagineering team?

Expedition Everest
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
Tower of Terror

Fastpass: Expedition Everest (they got to go to Nepal!)
Standby: Tower of Terror
Skip: Seven Dwarfs Mine Train

Dinner at Mexico, Morocco, or Germany?

schinkus98 · Posted: Tue Mar 03, 2020 7:23 am Post subject:

Fast pass: Morocco (Marrakesh might be my favorite restaurant in Epcot!)
Standby: Mexico (San Angel Inn is just so neat)
Skip: Germany

Favorite "grand finale" ride/attraction at Magic Kingdom:

Mickey's Philharmagic
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
Space Mountain

kraysister · Posted: Wed Mar 04, 2020 3:10 pm Post subject:

Fastpass: Space Mountain. (My 1st trip & this was closed the entire time. I've made up for that disappointment on all subsequent trips.)
Standby: Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
Skip: Mickey's Philharmagic

Favorite non-alcoholic drink:

Coke float/slushie (any flavor)
LeFou's Brew
POG Juice (passion fruit-orange-guava)

schinkus98 · Posted: Thu Mar 05, 2020 9:18 am Post subject:

Fast pass: La Fou's Brew - we'll use a 1/2 dozen snack credits minimum every trip for these!
Standby: POG Juice
Skip: Float/slush

Snacks readily available on Main Street USA:
Corn dog nuggets from Casey's
Pastry from bakery
Ice cream from Plaza

Fastpass: I've cream from Plaza

Revisiting a recent one...

Spaceship Earth narrator
Julie Andrews
David Attenborough
Morgan Freeman

Fast pass: Julie Andrews (Mary Poppins will always be my first choice!)
Standby: Morgan Freeman
Skip: David Attenborough

International food favorites in World Showcase

Mexican
Italian
German

kraysister · Posted: Sat Mar 07, 2020 2:38 pm Post subject:

That's my order!
Fastpass: Mexican
Standby: Italian
Skip: German (weird, I do like German food, but dont think I've eaten at the German pavilion. )

Which ride do you really hope is not closed when you visit?
Space Mountain
Avatar Flight of Passage
Everest

Truthfully, none of these would be heartbreaking for me on a visit. All are great rides, and the theming by the imagineers is inspiring, but they simply aren't personal favorites.

Fast pass: Everest
Standby: Space Mountain
Skip: Avatar

If you had to eat dinner every day of a trip in a Magic Kingdom restaurant, it would be:

Skipper's Canteen
Crystal Palace
Liberty Tree Tavern

That order again!

Fastpass: Skipper's Canteen
Standby: Crystal Palace
Skip: Liberty Tree Tavern

Disney springs lunch spots -
The Edison (American)
Chicken Guy (chicken with a lot of different sauces to try)
Enzo's Hideaway (Italian)
