Now that I think about it though, I can't imagine a watch falling on a hard floor (if someone accidentally dropped it) can be good for it either. Oh well. It's a pretty floor, anyway. =)

I don't think the photo shown taken with a flash is what most people will see....

It's exactly the same feeling I have about the Halloween/Nightmare before Christmas overlay. What a degradation of a wonderful attraction. I am so happy that they don't do it at WDW.

I'd prefer it look as normal of a house as possible until the stretching room stretches tho. (ignoring the 20 million pumpkins outside at this time of year )

It's obvious that they used an off-the-shelf PERGO type system that they maded into a circualar pattern. The whole floor cries out as a cheap retrofit that obviously does not match the quality of workmanship that you would expect in a mansion.

If the workmanship is sub-par then it will fall apart once a few million people have trapsed across it.
