I agree so much with iSm's first post in this thread! A few other thoughts about Halloween Time:

-- The pumpkin carvers in Big Thunder Ranch are amazing. Definitely worth checking out in the daytime hours. Last weekend, there were some very creative pumpkin carvings of Cinderella, Monsters Inc., and other Disney characters.

-- Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy: The visuals of space entities following your rocket and reaching out to seemingly grab you are better than expected -- and a major improvement over the awful "Rockin' Space Mountain." But the lighting-and-sound effects outside the Space Mountain dome at night are truly a must-see, up close. Even if you do not plan to ride Space Mountain, it's worth the effort to enter the standby line just to get on top to truly experience the multiple effects, which are spread out over time.

-- Jack Skellington and Sally from "The Nightmare Before Christmas" appear occasionally around New Orleans Square for photo opps in the daytime. It's very cool, since we do not get a chance to see them throughout the year.
