The Phantom Vessel

Back in the day, I had the fortunate opportunity to attend Mickey's Halloween Party several times before the separately ticketed event moved over to Disney California Adventure and rebranded itself as the Oogie Boogie Bash.  And one of my favorite scenes was always seeing the Rivers of America fogged out, looking ghostly and gloomy. And then, standing like a phantom in the mist, the S.S. Columbia provided a dramatic outline, almost like a ghost ship emerging through the supernatural haze.  I took a lot of photos of this scene, but it doesn't feel like enough, because this scene hasn't been a reality at the Disneyland Resort for years now.  And it feels like something that has been permanently lost to the annals of Disney history.  So in a way, this atmosphere itself has become a ghost... of the past! The S.S. Columbia was always dramatic on the Rivers of America during Mickey's Halloween Party!
