The heat kept a lot of people away for most of the day, though they did start flocking in later when it started to cool down a bit. I went over to Space Mountain to pick up a FastPass and was shocked that the stand-by line was only 35 mins. and there was no FP line, you could just walk up and get one, and the FP window was only about an hour after the current time.

Then over to HMH where the line was very short:

A video of the gingerbread house. I didn't get the benefit of a slow down this time and it's a tall one so I didn't get a good look at the details. You can barely see Zero circling Jack's house but you can see that the ghost birthday cake is circling the gingerbread house on a ghost train.

Random ghost sighting. I have no idea where it came from or what it was about.

Re: 09/15/2012 - HalloweenTime - 1st look HMH, Carnival, Frankenweenie, misc. stuff

I think the ghost my be a friend of the villain in the tent. Maybe.

I thought it was random too.

[Director_Guy]

Re: 09/15/2012 - HalloweenTime - 1st look HMH, Carnival, Frankenweenie, misc. stuff

^Maybe it was a real ghost. o.o

[Grizzly]

Re: 09/15/2012 - HalloweenTime - 1st look HMH, Carnival, Frankenweenie, misc. stuff

Could be.

The two times I saw ghosts they went from backstage to the tent and back, so I thought maybe there was some relation.

Are the Frakenweenie models THE actual models used in making the film???

Re: 09/15/2012 - HalloweenTime - 1st look HMH, Carnival, Frankenweenie, misc. stuff

If you're in the parks, I highly recommend taking a few minutes to see the Frankenweeenie preview.

HalloweenTime . . 1st look HMH, Carnival, Frankenweenie, misc. stuff

Thanks for all of the pictures, Ron!

We went today and were both happily surprised by how much we liked the short Frankenweenie preview in the Muppets 3D theater. How long was that, 10 minutes? Everyone in the Sunday crowd seemed nice (didn't hear any swearing, or hear any parents yelling at their kids) and many of the CMs seemed to be at the top of their game. We really liked breakfast (All-American kids meal & fruit plate) at Flo's sitting outdoors in the shade near the racing segment of Radiator Springs Racers--which was working perfectly, BTW. We entered DCA at about 8:40am and were impressed by how quickly and smoothly the CMs had the RSR Fastpass line flowing. Our FP was for 2:25pm, but (as you experts know) we could get our next FPs at about 10:40am, which we did for Space Mtn Ghost Galaxy. Both parks looked great!

Suggestion: I think the least expensive soft drinks in the two parks are in Ghirardelli's, AND we also got a delicious, free piece of pumpkin chocolate (one for each of us) to go with it, and no line!

Back over at DCA, there was a failure during the neon lighting. It started out normally, but when they got to Flo's, the 1st few lights came on and then nothing. The music continued to play and then all the neon that was on turned off except for the one sign on the side of Luigi's. Then the DJ show started and in the middle all the neon came on at once.

I don't think I've seen the pink costumes before either, always the turquoise ones from Flo's and the ones from Luigi's.

After a late dinner at RdZ, I managed to time it right to ride BTMRR during the fireworks as others have suggested, and it is quite an experience, especially in the second section when you are pretty much facing the fireworks directly.

I took the long way around on my way out and stopped by the Pixie Hollow fountain. The timing is off on the enchantment show. It started a little late and then the end was cut off, just stopping suddenly in the middle of the music.

looks fun. Too bad Carsland doesn't have their own twist on Halloween in the decor. It'd be fun to see how the Cars from the film would handle Halloween.
