I have to highly recommend the
MNSSHP (Mickey's Not So Scarey Halloween Party). DS had a blast! Even at age 8, he's still timid about things popping up and out at him, so this was perfect ... no scary hobgoblins to pop out at him!
He loved dancing w/the DJ near Space Mountain, trick or treating and seeing the characters, esp. those in the parade. Of course, riding all the rides was incredible!
As for daytime decorations ... there are hay bales, pumpkins and corn stalks located all over the place, inc. pumpkins and decor in the store windows. As you enter Toon Town, there are two huge Mickey carved fiberglass (I guess!) pumpkins that are darling to take photos against!
But, for as long as I live, I will never forget the MNSSHP! It was a great time for all of us!
And, wanting to second the Food & Wine Festival over at EPCOT! We all had a blast tasting and nibbling our way through EPCOT. Something I'd love to do again, too!
Chamonix - we were def. there the same time -- it was Mon. that it rained!
