Fast Pass: Cinderella Castle - takes your breath away a bit every time you see it for the first time on a trip. Never fail to see grown folks with tears in their eyes on Main Street USA at least once when we’re there, either.
Standby: Spaceship Earth
Skip: Tree of Life - another of those ones that needs an asterisk next to the “skip”.
Rate the animal sidekick:
Pascal
Abu

Fast Pass: Park Hopping - any time
Standby: Park Reservations - kinda goes hand in hand with park hopping at any time
Skip: Dining plans return - We were huge proponents of the dining plan, but we have found a system that works for us. If they’d bring it back as a free perk for the “slow times”, that would change things, but I don’t see that ever happening again.
Best food:
Via Napoli
Skipper Canteen
Yak and Yeti |

Fast Pass: Star Wars Universe - and hopefully I don’t get whacked by some bounty hunter.
Standby: Toy Story
Skip: Pandora
I think I could make a good life for myself in:
Pirates, Port Royal in Jamaica, early 1700’s
Princess and the Frog, New Orleans, 1920’s
Apple Dumpling Gang, Quake City, late 1800’s |

Would love to be a skilled chef. We watch hours and hours of the Food Network every week, addicted to the competition shows!
Fast Pass: French Food/Monsieur Paul
Standby: African food/Sanaa
Skip: Hibachi/Teppen Edo
Wife and I were discussing annoying things that we’ve experienced as a result of the complete discourtesy and self entitled attitude of other guests. Which would be least tolerable?
Camera flash/bright video screen on Pirated of the Caribbean (we’ve all dealt with this one!)
Dad at the next table in Skipper Canteen playing loud music on his phone
Kid sitting behind us at the Beauty and the Beast stage show watching something on a tablet with the sound up and the parents doing nothing about it |

Fastpass: camera/bright flash on POTC (esp if not in your boat so you you can't say anything to those idiots.)
Standby: dad playing loud music on his phone (you can say something and/or it's obvious to CMs who is doing it)
Skip: kid with sound up on tablet & parents paying no attention. (I think that type if situation can most easily devolve into a s@#t show. Don't speak to my child. Don't tell me how to parent. Etc. Potentially more difficult to get a CMs attention.
In the same vein -
People who use strollers/wheelchairs/ECVs as battering rams to push through the crowds
People who litter throughout the park/don't pick up after themselves after eating at quick service tables or outside tables.
People who walk 5+ abreast no matter how narrow or crowded the way may be. |

I find it so easy to loathe all of these types of guests. What gives them their overdeveloped sense of entitlement?
Fast Pass: Litterers and people too lazy to pick up after themselves at a quick service. There are trash cans everywhere!
Standby: Strollers and Scooters as a means to move through crowds. I’ve had a stroller draw blood. Our near-miss experiences with scooters usually have to do with a driver not having a clue how to safely operate the thing.
Skip: 5 wide walkers. And they’re always walking so slow!
Back to fun stuff! Entertainment preferences:
Live stage shows
Fireworks
Parades |

In the order I’d most dislike:
Fast Pass: Monorail - heard it gets a bit toasty in there when it stops
Standby: SkyLiner - Heights are no problem, but again, thinking they might get a bit warm. There’s a great breeze that pulls through the cars when they’re in motion, not sure if they’re stopped that you’d still feel it.
Skip: Small World - as long as we’re not talking hours, anyway!
Animal Kingdom needs more:
Attractions
Quick Service restaurants
Table Service restaurants |
