Things you would do to save $$ on a Disney trip -
Airline credit card to use points for flights
Disney credit card to use points for food, etc
Stay offsite (walk to Disney Springs for transportation)

Standby: Airline credit card points
Skip: Stay off-site

We watched "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" last night, and got to thinking about that movie. Were Disney to decide to revive it, should they:
Reboot the original story with a bit of modernizing
Feature one of the Szalinsky kids taking over Dad's lab
Make a Disney + series, animated or otherwise

Fastpass: one of the kids takes over dad's lab

Upgrading some long timers -
Add a pavilion to World Showcase
Update technology in Muppets 3-D
Add some quick service places to AK

In a perfect world all of these would be a fast pass!

Fast pass: New pavilion in World Showcase - so many great possibilities!
Standby: More quick service at Animal Kingdom
Skip: MuppetVision 3D upgrades - Don't like the Waldo character at all, but would hate to see too much done to the preshow area or theatre in general. It's just so perfectly Muppet-ish!

Adding a song sequence to Mickey's PhilHarmagic:
"I've Got a Dream" from Tangled
"When I'm Human" from Princess and the Frog

At Disney -
Smaller meals/snacks throughout the day & evening
Stick with 3 meals and some snacks
Depends upon my mood and/or the weather

schinkus98 · Posted: Fri Jul 09, 2021 10:42 am Post subject:

Fast pass: Varies with mood/weather
Standby: Smaller meals and snacks throughout the day and evening. This is usually the plan, but sticking to that "smaller" adjective with our daily table service is tricky!
Skip: Three meals and snacks - just no way I could eat three full meals anymore.

Exhilarating rides:
Test Track
Space Mountain
Flight of Passage
