Have Grand Abolisher, Kormus bell and Pearl Medallion in play. Have Urborg, Ghostway and Balancing act in hand. Play Urborg, tap enough mana to play both Ghostway and balancing act. Cast Ghostway, bounce all your creatures and lands, then cast Balancing act, to reduce your opponents board state to very little. At end of turn, return all your perms to play. your Opponents should not have a hand size.

Your Balancing act may be countered.

Grand Abolisher in the list stops that.

Actually it won't as it is removed from the battlefield (if I'm reading it correctly).

Cast Balancing Act first, then in response, then cast Ghostway. should be fine at that point

No.
116.3. Which player has priority is determined by the following rules:
116.3a ....
116.3b The active player receives priority after a spell or ability (other than a mana ability) resolves.
116.3c ...
116.3d If a player has priority and chooses not to take any actions, that player passes. If any mana is in that player’s mana pool, he or she announces what mana is there. Then the next player in turn order receives priority.

So what happens is that Ghostway resolves, then you get priority and pass, then your opponents get priority and may counter the Balancing Act.
