News Hatbox Ghost coming to Walt Disney World's Haunted Mansion

[HBG2]

Have there been any updates on WDW getting the updated bride?

I wouldn't hold my breath. (1) WDW's Connie has always looked much better than DL's, (2) the new bride wasn't cheap, and installing the Pepper's effect was a pane in the glass, and (3) the reception of the new bride has been tepid at best.

And if you ask me, they should have put in the Man in the Web instead of the HBG. That way, each US park would have a distinctive character with a similarly mysterious origin. Foxxy has been complaining about the Disneylandification of WDW for a long time, and in the case of the HM it's dead on target. Let WDW HM be WDW HM.

As have I.

How Imagineers destroyed the unique charm of Walt Disney World's Haunted Mansion.

WDW's Connie has always looked much better than DL's,

I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that she has not been moved at all to my knowledge since her installation in 2007 while DL's had to be removed and re-installed every single year because of HMH, looking less and less convincing each time she was re-installed.

The Imagineers weren't happy about the placement and went out of their way to give a "read" to the ghost that could be shoehorned into the 3-act play that is the HM. Muddy footprints pointing to and away from the door, lots of baggage, etc. = He's not part of the retirement community but a recent interloper (or party crasher, if you will) just now moving in, and therefore he avoided the curse or the cosmic sticky wicket, or whatever it is that has all the others stuck and in need of Leota's help.

Is there a single thing done in Disney World nowadays that doesn't have to come with a "no no, I know it SOUNDS dumb, but you just have to squint and close your right eye, cover your ears, and read this stupid backstory we scribbled on a napkin..." pamphlet?

And no part of this undoes ruining the endless hallway, but merchandising that part is hard so I guess it doesn't count.

Probably not, which is why I don't see myself going back anytime soon.

Ditto.
