I really don't think Disney care. It's a park for all ages, likes and dislikesI do not understand why Disney does Ghosts of the Galaxy! IT is so frustrating. It is way to scary and creepy for kids and it ruins space mountain for 8 weeks. I was creeped out and I am an adult. It is so frustrating and feels very unhappy like!
What is the general consensus on this ride for kids?
The last day of our trip is the first day of Halloween Time, so we will have the opportunity to ride Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy for the first time. I just watched a YouTube video of the Ghost Galaxy version of the ride, and it does look a little creepy. But it's hard to tell how "convincing" the effects are through a video.
How have your kids reacted?

My main objection to GG is that it doesn't have a strong Disney feel to me. To a lesser extent, I do find it rather creepy. Not a horrible ride but it feels like they could do much better. Now that I think of it, it feels like something Universal would do -- kind of second rate. But again, not a bad ride. Glad it doesn't last all year, though.
I think it's going to depend on the child. Some will probably like it, others will probably be a bit freaked out by it. My generally recommendation is to ride in the rear of the car because some of the projections are timed to the front of the car, so the rear seats have a harder time seeing the ghost/creature. You can't avoid seeing them entirely, but this might reduce some of the "closer" images of the ghost. The five year old I went with wasn't really scared of the ride; she was a bit unsettled by the projections on the outside of the building (lightning, cracklings, odd sounds), but the images inside the ride didn't really both her (she didn't really get the point, but that's probably better than being scared).What is the general consensus on this ride for kids?
Yup. All of those have a playful aspect to me that GG lacks.Not Disney-like, as compared to the skeletons and ghosts in POTC and Haunted Mansion? Snow White? (former) ToT? Indiana Jones?
For me, it's the really corny music that bothers me. It seems like it tries to be spooky but fails. It just can't compete with the normal track or the Star Wars track. But that's just me watching on YouTube. Maybe the visuals with the loud music will make a difference. But I'd rather them just keep the normal version going and not have it out of commission for days at a time.
