LOL. Let's not get crazy.

WDW taking extremely long on something? Impossible!

Nah I'm not..

I almost freaked out when I started reading the headline, until I saw the timeline. Whew, the Mrs. is already bummed about Astro Orbiter being down, this would have been a major kick in the rear.

 

[wdwmagic]

will the yankee trader be themed with a HM layout or will it remain as is?

They are working on it for 3 months, so I would expect changes.

 

[sm57co]

Anything new being done to the Mansion or is it just for general maintenance?

 

[Magicart87]

Who has two thumbs and expected this anouncement?
...THIS GUY!

I was there at the end of July, and I was talking to who could be considered like the manager of the the store and they said that they were told that it is going to be a haunted mansion gift show, but not a lot will change, the main reason for it was due to their partnership with Smuckers ending, and that the in-ride photo rumor is false.

Will miss it are first part of our trip, but happy we still get to ride it the last 4 days of our trip!!! Im now just hoping that they dont extend the refurb any longer!

Not to sound like the shameless fangirl that I am, but what are the chances that Ole Hatty will be making an appearance? I got my hopes up after the new AA popped up at D23.

Nearly 3 weeks seems long to JUST add the cameras, so I'm sure there will be a little refurbishment of some sort taking place. Phil Holmes does love plussing this particular attraction.

Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll bulldoze the interactive queue

I was depressed reading the title....I've gone on and on about the HM and gift shop for months. Thankfully our dates there will allow me a few days on the ride as we are there the 17-23.

*crosses fingers* Please add Hatbox Ghost! PLEASE!!!!

 

[Horizons1]

Hatbox? Ha. You guys are dreamers.

I have spent the last few days researching all the new products I was going to bring back to the UK for my dining room refurb to HM style as we were visiting just before Halloween.....
Where can we get good HM products on property?

 

[FigmentJedi]

Hatbox? Ha. You guys are dreamers.

WIth all the merch they're slapping him on for this expanded product line they might as well.
