It looks like a tiny Wayne Manor.
The DL HM, which actually looks like a Mansion, resembles a southern bed and breakfast.

No, but it's neighbors with Rapunzel's Toilet Tower.It’s also not neighbors with a log ride

Your brief time away has seemingly erased its current operational flaws then! DL’s HM should be nowhere near as bright as it is. When you can see show building walls and scrimms, it sucks the scares right out of it. Even my 5 yr old had never found DL’s mansion scary and he was definitely a bit shaken from WDW’s.
At Epcot’s Refreshment Port next to Canada. I opted for an awesome margarita in Mexico instead.

You call six months a brief amount of time? You don't understand. If we go back, they'll swamp the buggies. They'll bring us right down. I'm telling you.

I love a Bloody though I would rather have shrimp and preferably not fried.

You are right. Many slave plantations in the south have become a bed and breakfast. Florida even has a few examples of the style.

Mobile ordering was quite handy last summer getting food at the Pandora restaurant. Would love it at Disneyland too.
As for the Mansions, for me it's a wash. I've always thought the DL exterior was more mansion-like, but WDW's exterior definitely fits the attraction better. I appreciate the pre-ride portion of Disneyland, and do enjoy lingering from time to time in the portrait corridor. It's clear at DL that they have no idea how to light it-last summer, a light at the top of the staircase before the Endless Hallway would go on and off seemingly at random over a five day visit.
I think everything is better at MK once you're actually on the ride, but everything before that is better at DL. The way they currently run the pre-ride set-up in Florida, to me, is nonsensical. They rush the guests in like cattle, the spiel starts maybe 10 seconds after the doors to the house open, and about half of the time on my last trip, the stretching rooms would start stretching before the doors were closed. Then when you get out of the stretching room there's always a wall of people.
It's clearly based on some misguided efforts for greater efficiency, but what happens is that guests basically tune out the narration because they're not given time to digest it. And then, because they hurry people through the pre-ride portion, there's always massive congestion on the other side of the door. They should let it happen at a more relaxed pace, and I think these problems would solve themselves, or at least the process would work more effectively.

Yes, they leave the doors to the elongating rooms open!
Don't they have like some sort of door indicator?

Ugh, that does not look like fun to me. Where was this taken?

I agree with you that WDW's HM exterior is better, however it always bugged me that you don't enter through the front door like at Disneyland.
Columbia Harbour House — insanely long line, out the door! Luckily I walked right in, found a table quickly, put in a mobile order, and boom, food ready in 5 min. Why would be people NOT do this?! I ask myself the same thing at Starbucks every day.
I always liked that you enter thru some spooky cellar door or whatever it’s supposed to be. The holding room before the stretching room feels more appropriate there than by a front door where you’d expect to see a grander entrance.
That’s fortunately never happened to me at WDW, but I’ve heard enough reports to not doubt it being true. DL is guilty of similar behavior with running the spiel intro too early, but obviously/thankfully the room doesn’t (can’t) start stretching there until the doors close.

That's true, but as it is the house seems like exactly what it is - an artful piece of set dressing. It's too obvious that you're stepping into a tunnel leading to a backstage show building before you enter, ruining the illusion.
