Fast Pass: Attraction/Resort/Park specific stuff!
Standby: Package delivery to resort is sorely missed (actual room delivery would be awesome!)
Skip: Stop selling balloons - love seeing the cast members holding the big bunches on Main Street before parades!
World Showcase pavilion that would be the biggest blow to your trip to find off limits while you’re there:
France
Mexico
Norway |

Every ride has a single rider line
Every ride has a way to exit not through a gift shop
Every ride has a more interactive queue |

Fast Pass: Interactive queue
Standby: Exit bypassing gift shop - normally, don’t mind looking at stuff, but sometimes you’re in a time crunch.
Skip: Single rider line - this would be the first choice for many, but it’s never been a factor for us.
Favorite on-ride photo:
Buzz Lightyear
Haunted Mansion
Seven Dwarfs |

Fastpass: Buzz Lightyear. I forget about it & always have this intense look of concentration.
Standby: Seven Dwarfs
Skip: Haunted Mansion (there's a picture?)
What abandoned property should be revitalized first?

Fast Past: Discovery Island
Standby: River Country - these are kind of a two-fer for me. Given their relative proximity to each other, I think a resort in two halves, one half on the River Country property and the other on Discovery Island, connected by a SkyLiner, would be very cool!
Skip: Pop Century Legendary Years - this actually has already become Art of Animation resort, although I wouldn’t hate to see them go ahead with another value resort just the same!
Songs by a character named “Louis”
“Les Poissons” by Chef Louis in Little Mermaid
“When I’m Human” by Louis (and others) in Princess and the Frog
“I Wanna Be Like You” by King Louis in Jungle Book |

Standby: When I'm human
Skip: Les Poissons
Before showing a movie outside, your resort is going to do a short sing-a-long. To which movie do you want to sing-a-long?

Fast Pass: Beauty and the Beast
Standby: Frozen
Skip: Mary Poppins
Sing alongs are always more fun when everyone knows the material, and I think kids may not be as familiar with the Mary Poppins songs.
Professionally recorded performance on DVD you’d most like to have:
Festival of the Lion King
Finding Nemo: The Musical
Beauty and the Beast Live on stage |

I’ve got to say “skip” to one of these?!?
Fast Pass: Admiral Joe Fowler. A true hero of mine. Love how, no matter what Walt asked, Fowler always said “can do”. I try to be like that.
Standby: Roy Disney
Skip (ugh!): Ub Iwerks
Ideal resort room location:
Near the central lobby/food court area
Near a favorite pool
Not near anything, just in a nice, quiet back corner |

Fast Pass: Quiet pool in a shady chaise!
Standby: A/C in our room

In park Disney music performances:
Guitar Dan in Animal Kingdom (not sure if he has returned or not)
Main Street Philharmonic marching band
Casey’s Corner pianist
Read an article about what they are going to do in Tokyo, “unpaid priority pass” on quite a few, but not all attractions. Sure hope they like the results there and give it a try here too! |

Is it Tokyo Disneyland that Disney basically licenses its name to the company that runs the park there? They have a lot more freedom to do different things.
You're making a quick trip to the Flower & Garden Festival. Who do you want to see in concert?
Kool & the Gang
A Flock of Seagulls
The Commodores |

You’re right about Disney not having full ownership of the two Tokyo parks.
Fast pass: Commodores - Brick House alone makes this an easy choice!
Standby: Kool and the Gang
Skip: Flock of Seagulls
You’ve won a “lifetime fast pass” to one of the new “big” attractions:
Guardians of the Galaxy
Rise of the Resistance
Tron |
