Toy Story Midway Mania and Buzz Lightyear. Just so I could improve my scores

When I was there in January, the parks seemed to be in pretty rough shape (or I'm just bad luck.) However, I got evac'd from not one, but two rides in one day. Spent the morning at DHS, got evac'd off of The Great Movie Ride during The Wizard of Oz. I got to walk the yellow brick road & also got yelled at for trying to take pictures. Later, we headed over to MK. We were stuck on Buzz for about ten minutes, they turned the music off, HM stopped repeatedly (presumably for wheelchair loading though) and then one last ride before the end of the night: Splash.
An experience I referred to yesterday as "the greatest day of my life," we got stuck on Splash, right where Br'er Bear is hanging out of the tree. We were there for a good twenty to thirty minutes with no music, lights on, before they came and got us. We got to walk through some hallways which were pretty bland and got escorted out the back and got to see where they store the stuff from Christmas. That, of course, was awesome. We had to walk for a little bit backstage until we reached an area where they were giving us all the typical free fastpasses.

Was fortunate enough to ride Space Mountain with lights on (it basically feels like a kiddie coaster) and Spaceship Earth too. The earth scene was really interesting with the lights on. Lots of obstructions you're not aware of and the tiles of the geosphere are in full view.

It seems like every time I'm on the Haunted Mansion I get stuck right where you'd like to (when you're going backwards down to the graveyard)! Let me tell you, the novelty wears off after the first 30 seconds
Personally I hate when rides break down, but I especially hate when boats get jammed (Ex: Splash Mountain, Pirates, or IASW). It ruins the experience and slows down my day.

Whilst it's cool to be able to take a few more details when a ride breaks down, it does immediately take you back to reality. It doesn't really matter I guess, it's just the way these things work! However, I'd LIKE to see Space Mountain for myself with the lights on. Spaceship Earth would be an interesting walk down I guess.
Not sure I'm keen on EE breaking down really high up!

Never have had an evac off a ride anywhere ever. I have walked a few people off rides when I worked as a firefighter for a local amusement park, but was never an evacuee... lol. PotC stopped for maybe 10 mins near the end... where Jack is sitting in a chair and singing 'yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me'... that got old in a hurry! Everyone gets to experience that little short stop while they load/unload guests with mobility issues. I think HM is my favorite when they do that! SE would be second...

That would've terrifying to walk off Expedition Everest
I wouldn't want to be walked off the lift hill, that would be terrifying. I don't enjoy heights as is, (but I can do the ride no prob), but walking down meta stairs with NOTHING underneath me....well......Getting queasy even thinking about that. I have had a friend get walked out under good ol' Disco Yeti, there I wouldn't mind

I'm thinking HM in the Attic, Kilamanjaro Safaris near the Giraffes, and Astro Orbiter stuck in the up position at night (its not very comfortable but the view is amazing).

Oh yea, I had to be walked off one of the tallest roller coasters in the world, fortunately there was a handrail and we were only half way up but still quite terrifying
