I don't ever remember seeing a light-up Mickey.

I'm not too sure about all of those pumpkins that are something other than faces (I can't tell if it's overkill, since I am assuming there are pictures of all the special ones, but not all of the normal ones so I have no idea what the ratio is), but they are a neat idea. The bathroom one definately made me laugh. I'm really happy to see all the effort being put into the seasonal stuff though. I also really like how much stuff is being worked on, since it seems like a lot of places could use it. It just seems like they are doing stuff all over the park, which I guess must be done during the very short slow season. I'm really happy to see that they aren't giving up on the park, as had seemed to practically be the case.

Originally Posted By SpectroWishes321 Wow, that's alot of stuff under refurbishment. Glad to see that MK is actually spending money to keep the attractions in good working order. I guess the positive response to HM really put MK in the right direction. One question though? What do you think the crane is for?

Check out the Halloween stuff at DLP - it blows this stuff away.

I hope they are similar, but that they can do it in a way that will keep the castle looking halfway decent during the day. DLP's looks great at night, but during the day is it simply covered with light cords and metal frames, which really detract from the castle itself. I'm not sure how to do it to make it look good at all time (maybe drill lots and lots of holes in the roofs and poke the lights through), but I hope they don't have the same look during the day.

I watched the video, and I must say that the castle will look AMAZING when Christmas Time comes.
