Fast Pass: MuppetVision 3D - Could argue the preshow is a better attraction than the real show
Standby: Tower Of Terror
Skip: Dinosaur - But still know it by heart!
At what point do you consider yourself "in" the Haunted Mansion attraction?
When you take a seat in the Doom Buggy
As soon as you enter the Grave Yard and interactive portion of the queue
When you enter the door |

Actually at Disney? That would have to be when we get to our resort, however, vacation starts when loading up the car to drive to the airport!
Rate the proteins at ‘Ohana during dinner:
Shrimp
Steak
Chicken |

Fastpass: Steak

Easy (?) extra perk that you'd like to see -
More frequent mousekeeping
Package delivery to resort/front of park
Longer Extra Magic Hours |

Fast Pass: Legitimate Extra Magic Hours - It all comes down to that park access!
Standby: Package delivery to resort
Skip: More frequent mousekeeping - we used to opt out of mousekeeping altogether when they used to offer so much in Disney Gift Cards per day you'd select to do that.
My typical trip would be most impacted by:
A comp upgrade to the resort of your choice
Unlimited access to an on-call personal Minnie-Van
One day in each park with a "front of the line" card |

Standby: front of the line pass

I want all of them.
Fastpass: Electric Mayhem
Standby: Statler & Waldorf
Skip (but not really): Sam Eagle
Since Aerosmith has stopped touring , Rock n Roller Coaster may be up for a re-theme. What's likely to happen in your opinion?
Retheme using another band
Retheme to a more recent movie (not Guardians or any other movie that already has a park presence)
Not going to happen any time soon - too many other promises from D23 to make happen |

Fast Pass: Nothing any time soon (unless more than usual of the D23 announcements gets put on the back-burner long term)
Standby: Re-theme to a more recent movie (would love to save Rivers of America in MK and put the Cars expansion in HS in this area, make this a centerpiece attraction for it)
Skip: Use another band. Think Disney would want to go in a completely different direction if a total re-theme is called for.
Most impressive tech in a new(er) attraction:
Guardians of the Galaxy - Galactic Rewind
Rise of the Resistance
Tron |

That order work!
Fastpass: Guardians
Standby: Rise
Skip: Tron
For the new/really popular rides -
Keep it as a 2x daily virtual queue
Keep virtual queue but spread it out over the day, not just 2x daily, and you have to be in the park to participate
Regular queue, but with single rider line with CMs well trained on how to run single rider line. |

Pixar movies released 2020-2021 that, during normal times, would have been much more successful:
Luca (2021)
Onward (2020)
Soul (2020) |

There is no rose among the thorns here.
Fast Pass: Muppets closing permanently
Standby: A more expensive level of Lightning Lane (although this is probably inevitable)

I want to see the Muppets in a movie themed around:
Kilimanjaro Safari
Big Thunder Mountain
Space Mountain |
