- Paradise Pier was busy, as is normal on a Friday during Halloween time when Disneyland is closed for a party.
- As I walked toward the Bar Area noticed the lights along the walkway were turned off. This made it a bit more challenging to get through the crowds. With areas roped off for World of Color and guests queued up for the show plus the large crowds moving around it was a slow walk.
