Can't we just make them all permanent? The proposed expansions announced at D23 have me concerned about the future of the Muppets!
Fast Pass: Improve the 3D Show
Standby: Great Moments in History
Skip: Muppet Mobile Lab (But really, let's keep it too!)
Most anticipated of the D23 announcements:
Monster's Inc Land in Hollywood Studios (losing ?, but I'm worried about the Muppets!)
Cars Land in Magic Kingdom (losing Tom Sawyer Island and the Riverboat)
Tropical Americas in Animal Kingdom (Losing Dinosaur and Dinoland USA) |

I think Disney has way over-promised at D23 the last 3-4 years & then way undelivered, that I'm doubting any of these will come close to fruition as outlined.
That being said -
Fastpass: Tropical America's (Dinosaur being re-themed to Indiana Jones??)
Standby: Monster's Inc Land (that roller coaster through the doors looks pretty cool
Skip: Cars Land (just re-theme Speedway & make vehicles electric)
I think the loss of Rivers of America & replacing it with more concrete will make for an even hotter, steamer, uglier MK. Change the theming, sure, but leave the water. Didn't they just spend a ton of money repairing the waterways at MK?
Increase the shade & fans in Big Thunder queue
Do something with all the empty space in the frozen ride
Bring back the fountain in EPCOT |

We think the same thing about the D23 announcements. Might be 1, maybe even 2 things that are likely to happen (although seldom as grand as promised), but the rest are the "pie in the sky" projects.
Fast Pass: Bring back the fountain at Epcot!
Standby: More shade and fans in the Big Thunder queue (and Tower, while we're at it!)
Skip: Fill in the dead spaces on Frozen
Most likely to be completely gone/drastically rethemed at Hollywood Studios in the next 10 years:
Rock-N-Roller Coaster
Tower of Terror
Indiana Jones Stunt Show |

Fastpass: Indiana Jones Stunt Show (can't imagine what it costs to insure that show)
Standby: Rock n Roller coaster
Skip: Tower of Terror (love the addition of live actors at Halloween)
Add more -
street performers
levels of out of state annual passes
overnight ride/attraction maintenance crews |

Fast Pass: Overnight Ride/Attraction maintenance - think these crews have more to do with guests enjoying their time in the parks then most others!
Standby: Street Performers - could have been the top spot really easy
Skip: Out of State AP levels
I think it's a certainty that, through covertly placed cameras throughout the parks, there is little that happens that they do not see. Which offenses would you like to see result in security being dispatched to, at the minimum, escort the offending party out of the parks?
Smoking
Using oversized strollers/scooters to bulldoze through other guests
Ruining a ride experience through loud talking or bright screens |

Fastpass: loud talking/bright screens. [Would seem to be the easiest as the cameras are already there. 1 day ban on 1st offense]
Standby: Smoking
Skip (but not really): oversized strollers/scooters running amok
Villain land - they'd better have a ride featuring
Dr. Facilier
Yzma
Maleficent |

Fast Pass: Obviously, Yzma!!!!
Standby: Dr Facilier
Skip: Maleficent - Would hope her castle is the centerpiece, whether it contains a ride or not!
Villain who offers the most interesting potential for being the "proprietor" of a table service restaurant in the Villain's Land:
Hades
Mother Gothel
Ooogie Boogie
I bet it would never, ever happen, but a Big Bad Wolf Restaurant with every entree featuring ham, pork chops, sausage, or bacon would be wonderfully dark! |

Fastpass: Hades - what a showman!
Standby: Oogie Boogie
Skip: Mother Gothel
And I love the idea of a Big Bad Wolf Restaurant!
Outdoor entertainment ideas from Philharmagic posters -
Hades sings torch songs
Genie sings the blues

Fast Pass: Gaston - He is truly a dirtbag, but he's such an unapologetic and over the top misogynist that somehow it comes across as humorous!
Standby: King John - He's just so pathetic!
Skip: Madam Mim - Wish her character was used more in the movie
Villain who met the most horrific end:
Scar - He was either torn apart by the hyenas or turned into a rug by Hercules.
Judge Frollo - Fell into a flaming mass of molten copper.
Oogie Boogie - He is slowly unraveled until all the bugs that comprise him come pouring out and melting as they die. |

Fast Pass: Up and behind the Canada Pavilion, especially when the water features are working!
Standby: Side Street on Main Street USA
Skip: Savannah Overlook at AKL - Might make it to AKL for a meal every couple of trips, and always find this spot for a spell, but just not something we get to enjoy every trip.
We're big fans of holding down rocking chairs and watching people go by. These are three of our favorites in Magic Kingdom.
Near the exit of Hall of Presidents - Liberty Square atmosphere and music
Porch in front of Tony's Townsquare - Main St USA atmosphere and music
Between Country Bears and Pecos Bills - Frontierland atmosphere and music |
