The Disneyland/world effects could be implemented in the following manner:


DANCING GHOSTS ON BALLROOM (side view)

		    [U]                        [U] = you
                =========     /             |  #-# = dancing ghosts
                             /              |   /  = glass (semi-reflective)
                 #-# #-#    /   ballroom    |
                ============================|


The ghosts could be fullsize (internally or externally) illuminated models
running on tracks.



FLOATING CANDLESTICK IN INFINITE HALLWAY

   (top view)           (side view)
=================    ================= <--- mirror
|               |    |               |
[               ]    |(ceiling)      |(floor)
|               |    |               |
+---------------+    +---------------+ <-+- semi-reflecting mirror
|               |    |    \              |
[               ]    |       \     <-----|       [C] <---
|               |    |          \                       |
+---------------+    +---------------+                  |
                                             physical or projected
					          candlestick



Now, can anyone explain the lady in the glass bowl? At first I thought
it was Disney's Video-Animatronics (i.e., Lincoln), however, there is
a constant very bright light seemingly from the center of the bowl
that implies a projection of some sort. Any takers?
