Oh cool, I'll have to try that game. It's been awhile since I've stepped foot in the park but I know most of it hasn't changed...except they dropped what I call Star Wars-land in the back.
It was a lot of fun and a lot of work. I went in with some friends who were huge Disney fans. Like you I liked the movies, went to the parks as a kid but I wasn't a huge fan. I liked learning about the "Disney way" and I got to meet a lot of people, some famous, but a lot of everyday folks. I used to always instead of working I was "Making The Magic Happen" corny but fun.
I have a game related story where in one of the breakrooms behind Main Street there was a free Mortal Kombat machine and that's where I would spend my break. One day guy walked in dressed as Goofy with no head played and I got beat by Goofy.
Shame! Shame! Shame I say! You'll get around to it. You seem to have a special place for the series and one day you'll sit down and finish them....Ok when I typed "Finish Them" I said it out loud like the Mortal Kombat video game. That made me laugh.
You know me, I haven't played any of the FF games but I get why people love them. I keep saying I should start one just to see how it goes.
I do the same but I go with "GO!" If it is a human they're in a second of shock, if recording it'll just start up. Once I kept saying "Tiger Woods" just to see what it would do.
There are some funky PS2 games floating around. I wish I would have bought more of them when they were easy to find.
Casual games, those are the ones I spend a lot of time with. Just don't get sucked into In App Purchases and you're golden. The Gnomes games sound like it is similar to Sim City and other city building games.
REGULATORSSSSSSSS....Mount Up! 
Welcome back Vita! Having never played either of those games I say play an hour of each and see which one feels like a must play.
Oh I loved the look and music of SMB3. It had that fun of SMB but being able to choose your path made it special. Love Rise of the Tomb Raider. Those reboots are really good.
