First Week of November - Ghost Galaxy question, etc.

[Jaina]

Does anyone know how long it generally takes them to remove the Ghost Galaxy overlay? We are maybe planning a trip Nov 1-3rd (Tues - Thurs) and I'm curious if there's any chance Space Mountain would be open before we left. Also, what else might be closed? Small World maybe? Grizzly River Rapids? I'm striking out on finding historical closures for this week after Halloween. Thanks!

It usually only takes 1 day, but they don't always close it the day after Halloween. The question is, will they keep HSM straight through to Halloween and do the GG overlay at all this year? If they keep HSM up, will the ride get an annual refurb?

If I had to guess, I think there is a chance that IaSW and Jungle Cruise will both be closed to have their holiday overlays installed. However, the closure dates depend on when the Holiday Season is starting in DLR and that has not yet been announced.

Thank you for your educated guess! I've only been once in November, and it was like 10 years ago... IaSW would be sad, but we're doing a quick-ish, more-laid-back trip anyway (we'll have a 3-month-old and not be up to any marathons, but it's been so long since we took our kids that I'm getting seriously itchy) so there are things that will get left out anyways. I just really like to know what to expect. I'm thinking that week is going to be a little lighter than the next, with the Marathon coming up the second weekend. We have reservations both weeks, but I'm leaning towards the first (unless someone was sick or something).
