Definitely TSMM. Saucers is a nice little ride, but you'll definitely benefit in terms of time (and fun!) with doing Toy Story Mania.

It really depends on if you're trying to see as much as possible or want more of a relaxing experience. It is a lot of effort to switch hotels, but I can definitely understand with coming from Belgium that you want to see more resorts. It's just a balancing act. I think two resorts is easy, but...

Like others have said, the Magic Kingdom is a gold mine for additional FPs. Use the first three as early as you can, then refresh the app frequently. With anything but maybe Space Mountain, Peter Pan, or 7DMT, you should be able to get FPs for the other attractions by being persistent. You save...

I totally agree! Part of me feels like the show was doomed from the start because of the reputation after the long delays. I really liked Rivers of Light with the performers, but I think having more spectacle like the lanterns would have made it a classic that Disney didn't feel the need to...

Truly stunning theming across the resort, especially in the lobby and other common areas. There's just a relaxed feeling in this resort that you won't find at the Value resorts. It's also a bit more out of the way and seems more like a RESORT than just a place to sleep while taking a trip to...

I'd be curious to learn how it rides after the 2014 refurbishment. It was not a comfortable experience when we rode it in 2006. The theming around it was okay, but it wasn't enough given the limited nature of the attraction.

I see that Figment is dominating this poll, and it's not great, but Nemo is still the bottom for me. The ride essentially blocks the aquarium views beyond the end, and the story is just lazy and a retread of the movie.

It's a close one, but I'd have to go with the Barnstormer due to the short ride time, roughness of the ride, and cramped experience. It is a good starter coaster for kids, so it's not entirely bad. It's just the lowest for me.

Right. With FastPass Plus (and now with seasonal ticketing), Disney is able to better plan for operations and not over staff on slower days. It also offers another big incentive for guests to stay at on-site resorts. I was thinking more of what the poor results are, not the reasons. There are...

I visited in 2005 and 2008 prior to FastPass Plus, and there were walk-on waits for Pirates, Spaceship Earth, Haunted Mansion, and many others. Now attendance has gone up since that point, but not on the level to make the waits so long. Having FastPass on nearly every attraction is a big...

The live actors made a huge difference. I found myself watching them and the boats as much as some of the other parts of the show. I haven't seen RoL without it (I was a big fan of the earlier version), but I can't expect it would help. Adding characters also feels like it removes more of what...

In regards to the old EPCOT Center attractions being empty near the end, I think we have to be careful with equating popularity with long lines. A few factors have changed things dramatically. First of all, attractions like Horizons, World of Motion, and others had huge hourly capacities...

I'm of two minds when it comes to Iger. In one sense, he's a brilliant leader that has grown the Disney company in bold ways that others might not have anticipated. Bringing Star Wars and Marvel into the mix at what turned out to be bargain prices was incredible. And Disney Plus has the...

I think you're likely set with a Fantasyland style dark ride because the space isn't gigantic. I'd like to see Disney use the latest technology (like in the Shanghai Peter Pan) to make the best three-minute dark ride it can do. In terms of which film, that's a good question. You could go classic...

If you're looking at Epcot and Walt's original intentions, I'd also recommend Sam Gennawey's book Walt and the Promise of Progress City. It's quite a thorough look about what may have been for EPCOT the city.

Right. I think that's what frustrates some fans even more than if it was just okay throughout. There are moments of brilliance and then just head-scratching ones. There's no consistency.

I really enjoy the queue and the first half despite the book report nature of it. The transition to the water is well done, and the early scenes work. Beyond just being short, the ending also has really bad animatronics. The scene with Ariel and Eric waving at us is super creepy and also just...

My pick for returning winner would be David Wright. I'd love to see it be Aubry, but I don't have very high expectations for her unfortunately. Joe and Kelly will likely be around for a while. I may be off with this, but David doesn't seem like someone that everyone will be gunning for right...

Epcot has always been my favorite park, by a mile. But I've changed during the past 5 years or so. If I only had one day and could visit one park, it would be The Magic Kingdom. There's more to do and so many classics that I want to see every time. I still love parts of Epcot today (Spaceship...

Right. I always pick SSE for Tier 2, and then it's usually about where we'll be in terms of touring. LWTL, Nemo, and Imagination can all have 5-minute waits or 30-minute waits depending on where you hit them, but you can easily get a rolling FP for them afterwards too. It's more about just...
