Seconded! I've done this many, many times, and it's in stark contrast to the rest of the night. People are too busy eating and it's not really advertised as open, so I'm sure many don't know about it. It'd be even better if you didn't have to do the lengthy walk back to the entrance each time.
October weekdays are also a great time for GhostRider-I went to the park on a Tuesday, with no Haunt later in the day, and there were clearly MANY empty seats on GR. I'm sure some other non-summer/non-break months are just as good.
Here in the Midwest we don't see all that much direct sunlight from ~Nov to March or so; just gray and cloud cover. It definitely affects me more than it used to.

Don't know how true but they say melatonin and vitamin D helps with the lack of sunlight during the winter months or regions where its dreary.
Same here and we don’t have it nearly as bad. I don’t remember the weather effecting me as much or at all when I was younger.

Came across this recently. I guess it might clash a bit with Pixar Pier.

It needs to go faster as it seems to be half the speed of the swings, but I'd be all for something like that coming to DCA.
Hush! I am not looking forward to the heat.

Bought this to go to the Mary Blair exhibit at the Disney Family Museum later this month. I had to sew it shut to be a pullover blouse because the buttons were useless. Giving it a test run today!

BTW, here's a bit of a fabrication / installation video. This is not "off the shelf".
And here's sort of a junior version. Still very cool.

So I'm watching Mysterious Island (1961) on Svengoolie and it's soundtrack sounds really familiar. Then I remembered, it is played during the Primeval World on the train at Disneyland. The movie features Captain Nemo and has a lot of giant stop motion creatures from Ray Harryhausen. The Nautilus looks like the Disney version. Nemo was played by Herbert Lom from the Pink Panther movies.
Good riddance indeed. The old one reminded me of something out of Beetlejuice and looked nothing like Jack.

Looks a lot better, but I wonder if he is still allowed to talk now?
I’d prefer the accurate mute.

His mouth being able to move makes me think he can still speak, but we will see!

I'm wondering who thought it would had been a great idea to make Jack Skellington a face/masked character in the first place! Seeing him talking in videos is super distracting. At least Sally had a humanoid look which worked as a face character.
I bet face character Jack Skellington would had gave @TP2000 nightmares!
He looked even scarier as Sandy Claws and not in a good way.

These candy bars are my favorite Epic Universe souvenirs. Aside from being the two best-tasting candy bars I’ve ever eaten, they’re worth buying for the “Berkian”-style artwork on the cardboard wrappers (I cannot get enough of Isle of Berk’s art direction). They’re sold at How To Treat Your Dragon, and it wasn’t until halfway through the raspberry bar that I made the connection between the bar’s red filling and the slain beast. Because sometimes I’m not the sharpest axe in the armory.

How have I never seen this, he looked like a demon from the depths of hell

So… Small World is not ruined, right? I was worried so I skimmed a POV; looks surprisingly unchanged, from what I can tell. Coco looks nice. I didn’t notice the new Sherman Brothers verse.
