I caught the "Decorating Disney Parks" special on Freeform today about all the Halloween stuff and I never realized the gingerbread house in Haunted Mansion Holiday is made of real gingerbread and frosting!! Super cool.
I will be there on Wednesday and will definitely give it a try after dinner.Yeah, we love the new DS. However, my wife, daughter and grand tinker can go all day down there. Me, I prefer evening and nighttime as it is cooler and I love the atmosphere and lighting at night. Plus, I tend to sit down outside at my favorite adult establishments and really prefer it being in the shade. Even the hole in the wall can be a hot little place in the sunlight. Love it at about 10 p.m. And folks, everybody that is up for a few libations needs to check out the top deck lounge of the Paddlefish. Comfy outdoor furniture with a wonderful nighttime view. I highly recommend it
Boards were down for an extra 4/5 hours beyond the usual nightly down time.Anyone else have trouble getting in today?
Actually had to work a few hours this morning![]()
Agreed. For all of the negativity I read here and elsewhere (on all these unofficial boards) against Disney and how they've gone downhill, don't value employees, etc., etc. this was really nice to see. OBVIOUSLY they pick the most positive of stories, but reading here you'd think they don't exist anymore.That was a pretty good special - I liked how they shows senior CMs but also more junior ones who still had a visible impact on things

I’m excited for when this finally opens.
Yeah. It's hard to care about a clip show. My daughter wanted to see it the last time we were there so we went in. Granted it was the first week of December in the mid-morning, so the Park was pretty empty anyway, but we were the only ones there.This closure is in the vein of the Stitch one. Hopefully it continues down the Stitch path...
