Fast pass:. Excessive heat
Standby: Excessive cold
Skip: Excessive crowds
Excellent question!
Which Animal Kingdom attraction is one you'd consider waiting in a 60 minute plus standby line for?

It's the holiday season, where are we going to have the most festive fun?

You could magically wake up and possess a Disney-caliber skill set:
Attraction design/engineering, Animation, Singing/songwriting |

I'd put them in that order!
Fastpass: Attraction design/engineering
Standby: Animation
Skip: Singing/songwriting
You hit the lottery and retire near your favorite Disney Park (obviously) and decide to work there. Which job would you prefer?
Greeter at the fanciest resort/hotel
CM at a kiosk (e.g. face painting, hair wraps)
Being in a meet & greet as your favorite character |

We've actually talked about this (it makes for good conversation fodder when driving the 600+ miles from Nashville to Orlando and back ... the back trip being one of the hardest comedowns ... but I digress)
Fastpass: Greeter at the fanciest resort
Standby: Meet & Greet with Fav Character
Skip: CM at a kiosk
By the way, as a side, I'd love to drive the Minnie Vans ... they get to listen to Disney park BGM in the car!
If you could control Magic Kingdom's budget, which attractions need some TLC (Tomorrowland Edition):
Carousel of Progress, Space Mountain, Tomorrowland Transit |

Love seeing all the new things, but think all over WDW they could stand to invest in many existing attractions that need a little attention.
Although I still very much enjoy the Beauty and the Beast stage show at Hollywood Studios, nothing gets to stay forever. If it is replaced I'm sure it would be by a more contemporary movie.
Coco, Frozen, Moana |

You're most welcome, Kraysister - it seems almost a cheat for me to take, but i must...
Fastpass: Minnie Van Driver
Standby: Disney Train Conductor
Skip: Friendship Boat Captain
So as not to take from anyone, I'll do a variation:
Minnie Van Driver, WDW Resort Bus Driver, Magic Express Bus Driver |

Granted, the airport-to-resort runs would be a lot more fun than the other way around!
Something a little different. Non-Disney animated films that you think Disney could have done better, and would enjoy seeing the presence of in the parks:
How to Train Your Dragon, Shrek, Ice Age |

How to "relax" at Disney
Resort pool, people watching from a shady bench in the park, napping back at the room |

Don't get me wrong, I'm not sure I've ever been to a bad resort pool, but my daughter (IzzyCats) ensures that it's not relaxing.
Bring on the next dark ride (some odd choices):
Mary Poppins, Wreck-It Ralph, Inside Out |

Fast pass: Mary Poppins (would LOVE to see this one happen)
Standby: Inside Out
Skip: Wreck It Ralph
I really enjoy talking to people, whether I know them or not. Striking up a conversation with a stranger is something that happens a lot at the parks.
Where do you think you'd be the LEAST interested in conversing with a random stranger?
On a resort bus, in an attraction line, resort food court. |

If Disney were to revert a ride or attraction from its current format -
Spaceship Earth (Walter Cronkite)
Journey into Imagination
Frozen back to Maelstrom |

Strictly my opinion, but I'm just not a huge Walter Cronkite fan.
World Showcase restaurants you would love to have in your home town:
Via Napoli, Rose and Crown, Biergarten |

That was a good one, I had to think about that for a while.
I think we may have done this one a while back, but it's always worth revisiting ...
Replicating DLR attractions in WDW:
