What, if anything, on Tomorrowland Speedway should be changed?
Change nothing
Small change (e.g. convert to electric or natural gas vehicles)
Demo entire thing & rebuild from scratch (new layout, vehicles, etc) |

Fast pass: Small change - think they should have converted to electric cars years ago!
Standby: Demo the whole thing and start over - hardly seems to belong in Tomorrowland.

I've heard many folks bemoan the presence of characters in Epcot. As Future world is going through a major redevelopment as we speak, should there be:
More characters
Fewer characters
No characters at all |

I dont mind the meet & greets and I understand the need for characters to keep younger visitors in the family group entertained. But EPCOT was supposed to be a different kind of park & that's being swept away.
I am looking forward to all the changes coming. Sounds like a long overdue overhaul. Too many empty, abandoned buildings.
That being said:
Fastpass: More Characters (to make the "educational" parts entertaining
Standby: Fewer Characters (still needs to be family friendly)
Skip: No Characters
Going to a new restaurant or resort or what have you
Only if it's completely convenient
We make the effort every trip
Nope, we love our comfort places/routines & stick to those. |

When I get home from a trip, I sometimes regret:
Not trying something on a menu that sounded good
Skipping a meet and greet because the line was too long
Not picking up a particular souvenir I'd looked at |

If a little bit of Disney Magic could be incorporated into your everyday life
Mousekeeping daily
Fast passes to whatever you want
Dial 0 and get a real live person, not a recording, who can solve your dilemma without having to bounce you around to 20 different people first. |

A total stranger gets to plan your day at the park. Will it be the Disney bus driver, that older couple on the bus who have been coming for years, or the people in front of you in the security line who have researched the heck out of this, their 1st trip to Disney? |
