Not having been on either, I'll start with Pinocchio!
Band you'd like to see back at World Showcase -
Fife and Drum Corps (America) or
Off Kilter (Canada) |

Off Kilter! Glad I bought their CD's when they were in Epcot.
Reformatting Test Track, but instead of another Radiator Springs Racers:
Mickey and the Roadster Racers
Sugar Rush racers from Wreck It Ralph |

Sugar Rush Racers sounds like fun.
Let's get the creativity flowing. It's been decided you will be in charge of the latest Animal Kingdom park expansion.
Do you add landscape & animals from an existing country (e.g. Brazilian rain forest) or do you run with Beastly Kingdom (fantasy creatures that allegedly never existed e.g. Dragons) that was part of the original concept?
If you look at the very left ticket booth at AK, it has a dragon head on it. |

In my opinion, the world of Avatar fills the niche of the "Beastly kingdom" scenario, so I'll go with the other option. However, instead of South America, I'd go with Australia. Great animals, and a lot of interesting and original, not-based-on-a-movie attractions.
Watched the "live" action remake of The Jungle Book before our trip, so it's in my head. Who was the better casting choice:
Christopher Walken as King Louis or Bill Murray as Baloo? |

Christopher Walken for the win.
You're designing the next "it" backpack for Disney. Do you go old school & use a character design or go high tech & base it on the new Tron coaster (for example)? |

I'm old school all day long!
Ocean centered movies:
Finding Nemo or The Little Mermaid? |

Although I do love the song "Fish are friends, not food" and the underutilized sharks, I'm giving this to Little Mermaid (Under the Sea & Sebastian).
Main St. Electrical Parade or the Electrical Water Pageant? |

Main Street Electrical, by a tiny margin.
Parade float that puts a bigger smile on your face:
One with all the princesses or one with a load of villains? |

Villains! They're never bland characters & can really play to the crowd. Princesses wave & occasionally curtsey.
Impromptu calvacades/characters in out of the way places or the longer, more structured parades? |

Although I liked the novelty of the cavalcades (really like the boats in Animal Kingdom), the "real" parades were sorely missed! Give me my full blown parades!
Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway or Great Movie Ride? |

This is tough, but I'm giving it to Mickey & Minnie. I loved the fresh movie ride, but felt it was overdue for updating.
Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway or Rise of the Resistance? (Please tell me you were able to ride this!) |

I'm going with Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway. We did get a Boarding Pass our first day in the Studios, and Rise of the Resistance is truly an experience. While walking through Galaxy's Edge, it dawned on us that, while we do like the Star Wars movies, we're just not as into them as a lot of folks are. And I'm looking forward to trying it again post-Covid. It's hard to take the First Order seriously as they are threatening to interrogate then likely kill you when they are telling you to use the hand sanitizer to stay safe. It's an attraction that needs to be experienced multiple times, as there's just so much going on. I know there are hundreds of details I missed just getting to try it once. The light saber cutting through the door was amazing, though!
Which attraction do you feel is the most impacted by the interaction with a cast member?
Jungle Cruise or Kilimanjaro Safaris? |

Jungle Cruise definitely. Those skippers are the attraction!
Better lunch options - Animal Kingdom or Studios? |

I'll give the win to the Studios, whether you're talking quick service or table service. Not that the Magic Kingdom's options aren't good, it's simply that several of our favorites are in Hollywood Studios!
Magic Kingdom classics:
Dumbo or Mad Tea Party? |

Mad Tea Party!I
In case you missed it, Off Kilter streamed a concert the other night. Starts at 4:56min mark.

Have 1 nice meal every trip or save up to splurge (e.g. Victoria & Albert's)? |
