Disney Thing or Thing

I'll go with the original. Big Al singin' "Blood on the Saddle" cracks me up every time!

Muppet Mobile Labs show in Epcot or the Muppets Great Moments in American History show in Magic Kingdom?

Muppet Mobile Labs by a nose (not Gonzo's) only because I rarely get to see this.

For souvenirs-
Clothes or home goods (cups, glasses, dish towels, etc)

Going with clothes- especially ball caps. I do really like my ball caps!

Frozen lemonade or frozen coke?

Frozen Coke (not something I would make at home)

Free meal plan or 75% off Deluxe room rate?

Deluxe room rate discount

We gave up on the meal plan years ago - I'm sure it works differently for different families, but it never seemed to work right for us. One year, my wife actually kept a log and all our receipts and determined that we essentially broke even.

Fantasmic: East Coast or West Coast?

Gotta give it to the west coast on this one. Really enjoy the HS version as well, but there is a difference.

For which would you be willing to spend more time staking out a spot,
Fireworks or parade?

Stakeout for Fireworks - I've done it enough times. We only staked out a parade once, and that was the first time the Electrical parade came back to California.

Even though we're still flying high on Galaxy's Edge, let's say they suddenly announced an expansion - what would you hope to hear: Another attraction or something performance related?

kraysister · Posted: Mon Jul 15, 2019 2:17 pm Post subject:

Definitely another attraction. Can't wait for all the new ones to open!!

You get to spend time as a character interacting with guests at a buffet -
Winnie the Pooh or one of his friends at Crystal Palace lunch or
Mickey, Minnie, Daisy or Donald at Tucker House breakfast?

schinkus98 · Posted: Tue Jul 16, 2019 10:17 am Post subject:

I believe I'd go with a Winnie the Pooh character.

Which attraction do you feel is in more need of a good cleaning, repairing, and updating the technology in (not changing, just sprucing up)?

Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin or Tomorrowland Speedway?

I'm going to say Buzz. So many people pass through the queue that it always seems a bit dirty/sticky. Ride vehicles themselves have always been fine for me.

I would love if Speedway changed to electric or natural gas or something. Hot humid days can produce some amazingly nasty odors.

O! Canada with Martin Short is closing Aug 1st. If he were to be replaced (not sure what's going on there), who would you prefer: Dan Ackroyd or Tommy Chong?

bison74 · Posted: Wed Jul 17, 2019 7:03 pm Post subject:

I'm leaning toward Dan Ackroyd here, and the reason is - if you've seen Ackroyd in enough perfomances, you know that when he gets gleeful, he has this infectious excitement that shows in his face and mannerisms. That's not to say Tommy Chong wouldn't be a riot, but I think Ackroyd edges it out.

Let's say they decide not to replace the movie, but instead do an attraction:
Dark ride through the Canadian landscape (complete with the smells of maple and the brisk winter breezes) or an E-ticket roller coaster ... through the Canadian landscape?

Based on how amazing I find the Na'vi River Journey attraction in AK, I'm going to say the dark ride option would appeal more to me. The imagineers really made something special there!

Quick service options:
Indoor and air conditioned but crowded and noisy, or outdoor and shaded with plenty of elbow room?

kraysister · Posted: Fri Jul 19, 2019 9:05 am Post subject:

Outdoor and shaded. There are so many places to get a blast of a/c that I don't necessarily need it in a crowded and noisy restaurant.

Are you a creature of habit with your Disney vacations (e.g. what time of year, where you stay, what park on 1st day) or do you prefer to mix it up?

bison74 · Posted: Sat Jul 20, 2019 10:01 am Post subject:

We definitely tend to be creatures of habit (i.e. preferring Food/Wine Festival, typically do Animal Kingdom first). There are absolute must-do restaurants and attractions as well. We try to do a few different things - different restaurants and whatnot, but for the most part we stick with the program.

If you could only go to WDW for one day: Magic Kingdom or Epcot?

Definitely Epcot. Never get tired of it.
