The conception art pictured above is pretty much how the gingerbread centerpiece turned out when the Holiday overlay opened in September 2010 . But those at Disney had been working on an new effect. And effect they wanted to keep quiet until they could achieve it.
Now as Guests travel by, the pumpkins mimic those pumpkins that can be found in the graveyard.
Sorry for the dark picture, with Disneyland being busy today, I waited until the last hour to head over there.

Once again, those in the Entertainment Department who were involved with this project did an amazing job!
