Unlike some of the other recent shows at the Resort.

So if Disney keeps the same decoration next year, we might consider to go. Although it would be great, if DLRP's Halloween would be more like HKDL's.

It's also neat that these decorations add to the regular theme of Main Street, rather than completely taking it over. Anybody know if these decorations are truly new? the things in the hub look very similar to decorations that have been at HKDL for a few years (which are clearly inspired by the decorations on the turnstyles and in Town Square at DL). TDL gets new decorations each year, and the old ones have made it to other Disney parks in the past; any chance that these ones were at TDL last year? And I like how the ghost playing the bass drum next to the gazebo appears to be doing 'the sprinkler'!

We planned to go this year, but unfortunately new jobs made it impossible. I guess it is very crowded. We have once been over New Year and it was horrible in terms of attendance.
Originally Posted By u k fan I have never seen the park so busy. It took 30 minutes+ just to get through the turnstiles and trying to ride anything would have been a disaster. The entertainment was first rate, but it's just not worth it for me. I'd never advise a first timer to go for Hallowe'en!!!
