I have kind of an unusual question. I am going to Disneyland in about 4 months. I know this is the Disney World board, but this is the 1st year that they have had the upcharge halloween event at Disneyland park, so I am asking this question here since the responses on the Disneyland board would be about the free event (so please don't move this topic there).
Anyway, what are the crowds like during the actual event? You know, the part after 7pm where you need the extra ticket. How long would the waits be for Space Mountain and the other big rides? This would be in Mid October, the Week before halloween week but the week after Columbus day week. Basically I'm wondering if this brings the in masses to the Magic Kingdom, or makes everyone go running to the other parks.
A coworker mentioned she was at Disney World in October and Everest had like a 2 hour wait on a weekday and she was flabbergasted. I'm wondering if this could be why.
Basically, I am not 1 bit interested in the Halloween festivities, but since I am going to the DL area for something else, I would much rather spend twice the money and get on twice as many rides in half the time. If I can get walk ons to Splash Mountain, Space Mountain and all the other big rides... SIGN ME UP.
On the otherhand, if it draws the masses to the park AND sends the people that are normally there running to the other parks, well then I will avoid visiting the parks on those days.
Thanks!
