Thanks for this vid - that's one scary pumpkin man at the beginning!

What are the crowds like over the halloween events?

I was there from the 1st - 5th Oct, The first couple of days were great we were able to go on everything with hardly any wait (most we waited was 12 mins for Thunder Mountain). However with the weekend came the crowds; I don't know if it was because it was a weekend combined with the first day of Halloween but I have never seen that many people at DLP there were 2-3 hour queues for a lot of attractions. The Halloween celebrations were great especially the stage show, the highlight of my holiday was meeting Jack and Sally. When they spoke the voices & costumes were spot on and they made sure they were in character 100% of the time. I was like a kid again when I was speaking to them lol! Truely magical. What unfortunately wasn't magical was the bundle that occured when meeting them, 50 + people decended on the boot hill cemetry and all pushed and shoved (VERY common when meeting characters at DLP). There was an english CM looking after J & S and managed after 40mins to organise a queue with the help of a few of us. Though some people still didn't get the concept of queing >.<
Initally they were appearing on the central crypt thing in the boot hill area however after the 1st apperance (just as I got to the front of the queue they had to take a visit to halloween land and returned in 20mins) they moved just to the left of it which not only stop a lot of people that were lurking and trying to cut the queue but gave easier access and greater control for the CM. I will post up my pictures of the event and some video I took when I get back to my house on Thursday.
