Disney Thing or Thing

Hocus Pocus!

On the Halloween theme -
Mickey in his Vampire costume or
Donald as a Jack-o-lantern?

Iâ€™ll say Donald in his Jack-o-lantern costume.

Character meet and greet with characters dressed as pirates near POTC
Or
Character meet and greet with characters dressed as astronauts near Space Mountain?

Characters dressed as pirates unless the astronauts are the Muppets from Pigs in Space. Then it's the astronauts!

Restore the leisurely boat ride that went around around Animal Kingdom when the park 1st opened or
Bring back paragliding on the 7 seas lagoon.

Would love the boat ride around Animal Kingdom!

Still thinking about desserts, so throwing out two that we really thought were good at Peos Bill's in Magic Kingdom!

I'd go for the slushy please!

Drink & a snack on the back deck -
Jock Lindsey's Hangar Bar at Disney Springs or
Nomad Lounge at Animal Kingdom

After looking at the menus, I'll go with Nomad Lounge. The "Cuban Frita Sliders" sound pretty darn good!

Epcot Dining/Fireworks packages:

Rose and Crown or Spice Road?

Rose & Crown!

Same vein -
Hollywood & Vine or Brown Derby for the Fantasmic Dining Package?

schinkus98 · Posted: Wed Oct 26, 2022 6:18 am Post subject:

I seldom hear negative comments about the food at Brown Derby, so Iâ€™ll go with them.

Queue that could really use more shade/fans:

Tower of Terror or Big Thunder Mountain?

kraysister · Posted: Fri Oct 28, 2022 7:00 pm Post subject:

Big Thunder. That part of the line that's outside can get brutal.

Which is more likely:

Disney really builds a bubble over the parks or
The thinking/planning swings back to guest experience & not profits within the next couple of years?

schinkus98 · Posted: Tue Nov 01, 2022 12:10 pm Post subject:

Both sadly seem equally impossibleâ€¦Guess Iâ€™ll live in the â€œglass half fullâ€ world and say that guest experience will trump profits at some point in the (hopefully) not too distant future.

Among the celebrities we lost in 2022, it was losing these two that depressed me the most. And neither was ever given an animated character to give voice to from Disney. Which do you think might have given us the more memorable character?

Olivia Newton-John or Leslie Jordan?

kraysister · Posted: Thu Nov 03, 2022 7:22 pm Post subject:

Leslie Jordan. Fun, over the top, could be nice or evil - could see him voicing all kinds of characters.

If you were asked to voice a character, would you prefer an outright evil character (eg Jafar) with in your face lines or a more morally ambiguous character (eg Mr. Smee) with a smaller personality?

schinkus98 · Posted: Fri Nov 04, 2022 11:23 am Post subject:

This has been fun to think about! Think Iâ€™ve decided to go with the morally ambiguous (love this expression, too) sidekick/henchman. Not sure my voice has the necessary gravity to pull off a convincing villain.

More preferable villainous henchman:

A Smee type (you know, morally ambiguous!)
Or an Iago type (maybe even a touch more vile than their villain)?

kraysister · Posted: Sun Nov 06, 2022 5:37 pm Post subject:

Don't know if I would do the character justice, but I'd totally try an even more over the top Iago.

Cast member at Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind or Tron Lightcycle?

schinkus98 · Posted: Thu Nov 10, 2022 9:48 am Post subject:

Think Iâ€™ll say Tron. It might end up hitting people who are prone to motion sickness just as bad, but it sounds like â€œprotein spillsâ€ are a fairly regular thing on Guardians!

If you could spend a day in a park in its original form, would you pick
Epcot or Hollywood Studios?

kraysister · Posted: Thu Nov 10, 2022 9:45 pm Post subject:

Hollywood Studios. Original Backlot Tour & The Great Movie Ride!

Savory snack - poutine or loaded tater tots?
