Things you'd like to see happen:
More hotels that have an entrance directly into a Park (for exclusive use of hotel guests)
Shuttles to/from other area attractions (e.g. Universal)
More and more interactive street performers (a la citizens of Hollywood) & cast members (e.g. cast members at TofT elevators used to really add to the creepy factor, now? not so much)

Fast pass: More interactive cast member experiences
Standby: Resorts with in-park entrances
Skip: in park shuttles to attractions
We find more interesting things in our distractions walking from one attraction to the next. Would hate to lose that!
It appears Brazil is joining World Showcase, which, for reasons we don't need to go into, isn't the most popular choice Disney might have made. Which would you have rather seen get a pavilion?
Greece, A better African representative (maybe Sierra Leone), or if they needed a South American country, Peru.

It's been a long day at the park and you're looking forward to dinner! Do you get -

Something completely different
Buffet so you do both

Trying something I've never tried is one of my favorite things about going to WDW. Never eaten at Restaurant Marrakesh in Epcot, but the ADR is made for our trip in August!
You're having a particularly crummy day in your "normal" world. A spin on what Magic Kingdom attraction could turn that whole day around?
We've actually had this scenario where we used Disneyland as an escape from the real world, and I can tell you that the first two played a huge roll in that (along with IASW, Big Thunder, and Space Mountain - the first to make you smile, the other two to release some aggression).
Great question! So, let's go back to Brazil in Epcot. The rumor is that there will be no attraction for this pavilion, but let's say Disney changes course, what sounds appealing:
Sailing down the Amazon, (simulated) hang gliding over Rio, a dark ride celebrating the sights and sounds of Carnival?

Fastpass: sailing down the Amazon (realistically, not Jungle cruise style)
Standby: hang founding over Rio
Skip: Carnival dark ride (although I really wouldn't skip this !)
I think every pavilion should have some sort of ride/attraction.
Last ride of the day...
Safari at sunset (Animal Kingdom)
Test Track (EPCOT)
Big Thunder Mountain (Magic Kingdom)

Fastpass: Resort hop
Standby: Skip a day (on our 10 day trips, we sometimes do plan a day at Universal)
Skip: Disney Springs (yup, that's how much I dislike shopping)
So, we have Walt's apartment over the firehouse, in Disneyland, the apartment in Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom, where should another special hotel room be?
Haunted Mansion, Tower of Terror, one of the pavilions in world showcase?

Would actually love to see what they could do for something like this in Epcot (Morocco has tremendous possibilities), but to spend a night in the Mansion or Tower?!? That's just such a cool idea!
Which World Showcase pavilion are you most likely to completely lose track of time while visiting:

Fastpass: Japan (so many cool things I don't normally see in stores)
Standby: France (its amazing how I can botch the accent in so many different ways.)
Skip: England (just b/c I feel this is the smallest)
Time for an adult beverage - Sake in Japan, Grey Goose Slushie in France, or a Black&Tan in England?

Was hoping someone else would jump in for this one, as I'm just not a drinker. So I'm making my choices on the various food and drink choices in total available at each pavilion!
Fast Pass: France (a slushie just always sounds good)
Standby: England
Skip: Japan
Magic Kingdom attractions at night:
Jungle Cruise, Big Thunder Mountain, People Mover

Not all Disney villains are truly evil. But some leave no doubt! Thinking about the most truly villainous moments in some animated movies:
The Evil Queen ordering the huntsman to not only kill Snow White, but to bring back her heart,
Scar letting Mufasa fall to his death,
Dr Facelier killing Ray

Fastpass: Scar (because he completely succeeds in his evil)
Standby: Dr. Facilier (he partially succeeds. I think Ray is brought back somehow?)
Skip: Evil Queen (b/c her plans spectacularly backfire & she's kind of a pathetic character at the end)
Food, glorious food. Well, ice cream at least.
You're hankering for some soft serve - vanilla, raspberry, or strawberry?
