From the videos on YouTube Leota is still in the crystal ball. There are glowing red and green lanterns/jars that now surrounding her in the new HMH. Check it out on YouTube.

Just for giggles I looked at the video on youtube and it's dark but you can see the ball is not a ball, it's got stuff going off the top and bottom like an apothecary jar. Woo, head in a jar! That makes her a sideshow attraction now! :D

Wasn't last year the first year for Ghosy Galaxy? That would explain the popularity...
Ya last year was the opening. I'm not even going to try Ghost Galaxy this year. I did it last year and wasn't really impressed. To me it's not worth the wait.

Lunch break, since I couldn't sleep as well this morning I decided "I'll go to disneyland for a little bit", and went on HMH and she's not in a jar but in a giant old world style ornament (as are the surroundings). Sad that it wasn't a head in a jar, would have been hillarious.

Ya your right it is more of an old ornament. Still kinda looks like a head in a jar tho lol.

Thanks for the clarification, Josh. From the videos on YouTube, I didn't look like a glass jar to me.

Let me know how it is if you get to go! I'd love to see the fireworks but $100+ is a lot right now for that.

I agree. It's a lot for us too...(plus travel time, hotel...etc) But it might be our last chance to go to DL for a long time. Since the party price is cheaper than a normal ticket (even though it's a shorter time inside the park) and we could see the park decorated and have the chance to see some "rare" characters....I'm really hoping to be able to pull it off. An expensive one-nighter, but the memories would be priceless. (I'd better not say that too loud...the execs might read into that and even more dollar signs might show up! :shock: )

I hope it works out for you! It does sound like it would be an awesome time :D If you get there, be sure to mention to the HM CM's what your forum name is. Maybe they can hook you up with a pic of you and your alter ego together or something else equally as cool!! :hm_ghost:

I think they do the annual parking increase before summer and then do the gate increase in August.
