New Game! "Fast Pass, Standby or Skip?"

schinkus98 · Posted: Thu Jun 22, 2023 9:52 am Post subject:

Fast Pass: Slinky Dog - not too many attractions at HS that can be affected by weather, makes sense to cover this one too. Plus, I think the â€œtoyâ€ aspect could be well incorporated.
Standby: Big Thunder - letâ€™s just make sure the queue is in the climate controlled bubble too!
Skip: Everest - Just seems like this one belongs fully outside

Hollywood Studios â€œmost likely to happenâ€:

Rock-N-Roller Coaster redone with a fully Disney owned theme
MuppetVision 3D, and the area around it, bulldozed for something new
The entire park being renamed, as â€œHollywood Studiosâ€ barely fits at all at this point

Fastpass: Rock n Roller coaster being rethemed
Standby: Entire park being renamed
Skip: Muppet area being bulldozed

Inexpensive way to stay cool (besides hiding out in the a/c)

UV blocking umbrella
Portable fan
Stay cool towel around neck

Nothing can beat ducking into a shop for that blessed A/C for a couple of minutes, butâ€¦
Fast Pass: Portable fan - wife is looking into those ones that wrap around your neck.
Standby: Cooling towel
Skip: UV Blocking umbrella

You win a lifetime pass to Magic Kingdom and one of the other parks:
Animal Kingdom
Hollywood Studios
Epcot

Fastpass: EPCOT
Standby: Animal Kingdom (Safari!)
Skip: Studios (wouldn't skip, but something had to be 3rd)

Park hopper every day!

You mentioned popcorn in Thing or Thing. You need a refillable bucket to carry it around, MK edition

Figment
Cinderella Coach
Hitchhiking Ghosts

Fast Pass: Hitchhiking Ghosts
Standby: Figment (top two could have gone either way!)
Skip: Cinderella Coach

In 2022, Remy was the official spokes-character for Epcot Food and Wine. Other cooking characters that could be tabbed in 2023:

Kronk
Tiana
Chef Louis

Fastpass: Tiana (to really promote her upcoming ride)
Standby: Kronk (such an underutilized movie)
Skip: Chef Louis

Favorite time to vacation at Disney
Food & Wine at EPCOT
Christmas
Just before schools let out for summer

schinkus98 · Posted: Thu Jul 06, 2023 7:55 am Post subject:

Fast Pass: Christmas - never been, but would really like to see it, even if just once.
Standby: Just prior to school dismissing for summer - hope we like it, still on for trying a trip next April
Skip: Food and Wine time - ironic, as weâ€™ve never taken a trip other than late August / early September, but the last two have been so darn rainy!

Itâ€™s an oxymoron, but letâ€™s do â€œmost lovable villainsâ€!

Maleficent
Hades
Yzma

Fastpass: Yzma (for a villain, pretty patient with Kronk.)
Standby: Hades
Skip: Maleficent

Dinner time -
Steakhouse 71 (Contemporary)
Hoop-de-Doo Musical Revue (Fort Wilderness)
Boma (buffet at Animal Kingdom Lodge)

schinkus98 · Posted: Mon Jul 10, 2023 11:03 am Post subject:

Fast Pass: Hoop De Doo - REALLY hope it works out to try this if our trip in April doesnâ€™t fall apart.
Standby: Boma - only done it once, would love to go again
Skip: Steakhouse 71 - tried it last year, food was fine but there just wasnâ€™t anything about the restaurant itself that stood out.

Dinner with a great view:

Toledo at Coronado Springs
Topolinoâ€™s Terrace at Riviera
California Grill at Contemporary

Fastpass: California Grill
Standby: Toledo
Skip: Topolino's Terrace (another where something had to be 3rd)

Which resort amenity should be expanded?

Outdoor movies (e.g. more nights or a double feature night?)
Games (e.g. giant connect 4, bocci at more resorts)
Trivia (e.g. more than middle of the day at the pool)

schinkus98 · Posted: Thu Jul 13, 2023 10:16 am Post subject:

Fast Pass: Movies - do this every night!
Standby: Trivia more often
Skip: Games at more resorts

Ride to nowhere -
Mickey Railroad
People Mover
Resort Monorail

schinkus98 · Posted: Sat Jul 15, 2023 3:29 pm Post subject:

Youâ€™ve pegged them in my preference order!

Fast Pass: Railroad
Standby: People Mover
Skip: Monorail

WDW coaster that you would enjoy so much more were it just a bit smoother:

Big Thunder
Rock-N- Roller Coaster
Space Mountain

Sorry for the delay!

Fastpass: Rock n Roller coaster
Standby: Big Thunder Mountain
Skip: Space Mountain

I'd also like them to get rid of the huge jerk at the start of the climb on Everest as well as the hard brake at the end of the ride.

Nice place to people watch while having a quick lunch/snack.
Pinocchio Village Haus - outside, 2nd floor
Gaston's Tavern - fountain (bonus if Gaston is greeting guests)
La Cantina de San Angel - outside eating area at Mexico pavilion

No worries on a few days going by between plays. Things happen!

Fast pass: La Cantina de San Angel
Standby: Pinocchio Village Haus
Skip: Gastonâ€™s Tavern - weird, but always feel like I need to hurry at those outside tables.

Animal Kingdom attraction that would magically have a mere 10 minute queue upon your arrival every time you want to ride it:

Flight of Passage
Kilimanjaro Safari
Expedition Everest
