Quit rushing the seasons. It’s August for pete’s sake! Halloween decorations should be for October. When I’m traveling in August, I’m not wanting to see Halloween. Besides, you’re closing the parks earlier and earlier so you can charge people extra to attend a party, taking away time the regular guest gets in the park. Stop it!
I remember a time, not so long ago, when season changes at WDW were done over night.
It was an overnight miracle. You’d leave at park close and it looked normal. Then when you returned the next day, Halloween had thrown up everywhere.
Now it seems like it takes them months to do the same job.
