A Change in the Gracey Manor...

A "Ghost" Host

When you enter the Haunted Mansion, no longer will you simply see Master Gracey's portrait age, but now he changes position. He is always in that same pose, but each time it ages he looks a different way, going from left to right each different year. :drevil:

He's not moving at all, the portrait is stationary at the moment which means there has to be a mechanical malfunction and they're probably working on it. I'll ask Mark the next time I see him.

And it's not "Gracey Manor" either. :)

Something else I've noticed that was missing...But keep in mind I'm not sure if this is back since I was out there in October 05. But before you get in your doombuggy in the que line there was a little table with a book open to a specific page in a dictionary....I remember reading about it in another site..probably doombuggies.com..but anyways I saw it there in 04 but didn't recall seeing it last year...Seems kinda strange?

It's opened to "Death" It's still there as of Jan 7, 2006, when i last visited the Gracey Residence.

Wow, I don't think I've ever noticed the book before. Where exactly is this at again, and what is it's significance?

Also, the change in the picture... what are you views on this? Is this subtle change a fun little variation, or is it just a desperate ploy to say "see, we changed sometings"??

I have not been to Disney in 15 years but I had always thought the picture was of Dorian Grey. I've got a lot of background to read up on. =)

The picture is based on Dorian Grey. But it's not actually Dorian. There is unoffical stories based on a Master Gracey. The movie even followed a few of these. Check out Doombuggies.com give you plenty of info on the Haunted Mansion. It's the same as 15 year ago though! :)

The book is at the doombuggie load platform. As you're facing the load platform, the doombuggies are coming from right to left. Over in the right corner, behind the line of doombuggies, is the table with the book. It's opened to the entry on "death."

It seems that the picture thing is more of an "oops, we messed up while we were working on it," than an "oh look, we changed somehting." I'd imagine it'll be fixed in the relatively near future.

Hey everyone! Just got back from a 3 day weekend from Disney World. We went on the Haunted Mansion, but the picture did not change at all. It was a still picture. Are they adjusting their screw up? Anyone know why the picture didn't change at all?
