Huh, I'm opposite, in where I like to reserve HM for after fireworks/Fantasmic. It's dark outside (keeping the creepy ambiance) and there are fewer people (meaning that there's a gap between groups and if I get the first doombuggy out, it's easier to pretend that I'm the only one riding it). Last time I rode it, though, some annoying young teens were being obnoxious, yelling to each other and whatnot.

Ah, well, can't expect everything to be perfect.
