Fastpass: Toy Story - I love Woody & Buzz, but if hope that more secondary characters were there too!)
Standby: Monsters Inc
Skip: Princess & the Frog
Possibly no longer a hypothetical question since Spaceship Earth is closing in May for a major upgrade.
The next narrator should be:
Keep Dame Judi Dench/bring back Jeremy Irons
James Earl Jones
Julie Andrews |

It's fun to think about ones like this!
Fast pass: Julie Andrews
Standby: Judi Dench/Jeremy Irons (would be my number 1 choice if they could both provide narration)
Skip : James Earl Jones (some folks would hear Mufasa, but I'd hear Darth Vader!)
Sounds like the new Canada video (Canada: Far and Wide) is ready to go with Catherine O'Hara and Eugene Levy narrating. But other options could have been:
Mike Myers
Jay Baruchel
Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas |

I had the same driver on 2 separate visits, a year apart. Wicked Boston accent - think stalks for storks - I was translating the odd word or two for people around me. |

Have done 1 dessert party. I think it was Wishes, but definitely Magic Kingdom. Not sure I'd do another one. For me, price vs consumption is way out of balance.
You'll be working for Disney.
Front line job - e.g. hotel concierge, ride operator
Behind the scenes - e.g. feeding animals, decorating for holidays
Corporate - no where near the parks/hotels, but involved with decision making on new attractions, etc. |

Fast pass: Behind the scenes
Standby: Front lines

Made my choices purely on perceived stress/pressure with each position, although working behind the scenes would be my clear favorite!
For what attraction would you like most to have been a part of the imagineering team?
Expedition Everest
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
Tower of Terror |

Truthfully, none of these would be heartbreaking for me on a visit. All are great rides, and the theming by the imagineers is inspiring, but they simply aren't personal favorites.
Fast pass: Everest
Standby: Space Mountain
