Behind the scenes at The Haunted Mansion

[hauntdmansion79]

Obviously we love everything Haunted Mansion. Over the years we have found some pretty sweet stuff on the Haunted Mansion. Behind the scenes pictures, stories, even a video or two.

But we wanted to know if anyone (cast member or normal joe) has any backstage photos of The Haunted Mansion!! We'd love to see them!!!

Now don't get us wrong, we love the magic of Disney as much as anyone, especially with the Haunted Mansion. But now that we're adults, it's interesting to see how the magic is made.

Let's start with the Haunted Mansion, but if anyone has backstage photos of ANYTHING...let see them!!!

You might also check www.extinct-attractions-club.com -- they used to have (don't know if they still do) a walk-through DVD of the attraction with Tony Baxter (high-ranking imagineer)

The photos if I remember correctly on Doombuggies.com don't really show the true inner sanctums of the Haunted Mansion, but they show some of the hallways behind the "Servant Quarters" doors.

It is actually pretty cool since the backstage hallways are still themed in the Haunted Mansion style. I saw them for a second in real life when someone briefly opened the door.

We've actually seen lots of pictures and a movie that have GREAT behind the scenes pictures, most from doombuggies.com, there is a realtime vidoe that shows the ballroom behind the scenes and shows the animatronic characterse on the chandelier and the ones that shoot each other in the portraits.

What we wanted to know is if anyone had personal photographs but I guess Disney is really serious about people not taking any.

Besides the Magic Kingdom backstage tour (which only shows the HM control room) is there another tour that you can take to show you the TRUE backstage of the haunted mansion?

Unfortunately, no. If Disney ever figures out that I would be willing to pay good money for single-attraction backstage tours, my bank account is doomed.

Of course, we here at WDWMagic could always get a large group together and hire out a custom tour. :lookaroun
