Frommer's Review
What better way to show off Disney's eye for detailed special effects than through this oldie but goodie (Walt had a hand in its development), where "Grim Grinning Ghosts" come out to socialize -- or so the ride's theme song goes. The queue here is one of the most amusing in the park as it winds through a graveyard filled with tombstones whose epitaphs are sure to make you chuckle. Upon entering you're greeted by a ghostly host, who encloses you in a windowless portrait gallery (are those eyes following you?) where the floor seems to descend (actually, it's the ceiling that's rising) and the room goes dark (the only truly scary moment). Darkness, spooky music, eerie howling, and mysterious screams and rappings enhance its ambience. Your vehicle, err . . . Doom Buggy takes you past a ghostly banquet and ball, a graveyard band, a suit of armor that comes alive, cobweb-draped chandeliers, a ghostly talking head in a crystal ball, and more. Keep your eyes on the mirror you pass at the end of your ride, as you'll find another passenger in your buggy . . . Boo! The experience is more amusing than terrifying; most children 6 and older will be fine, but those younger (and even some of the older ones) may not be so amused.
