Thematic transformation
I agree that the haunted mansion is a less-smooth transition than some other areas...
In theory, you could say, the transition could be..
1. Colonial period (New England)
2. Sleepy Hollow (headless horseman)
3. Haunted Mansion
But geographically, that transformation isn't lined up the same. As you stand by the Hall of the Presidents, you look over at Haunted Mansion. "Sleepy Hollow" is behind you.

Re: Thematic transformation
Y'know... I always had something in the back of mind that bothered me about all that. but, I just accepted it as being OK, because it was Disney. I don't know... it seems as though I have a tendency to throw conventional logic out of the door when it somes to Disney... to a point.
Anyway, yeah, I suppose now that I think about it, having HM in Liberty Square doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but where else would it go? I think it's in a good place right now.

heh...
OK, here's an "ever wonder?..." question for you. Have you ever noticed that almost every disney chorus, except for the chorus in the candlelight processional and IASW sounds the same?
Like, does it sound like the same chorus that sings the songs for Fantasmic sing the song for the Stars and Cars Parade?
And, doesn't it seem like that same chorus has sung every single disney song in the parks, like, ever?
Fun to be Free (WoM)
Zip-ah-de-doo-dah (SM)
If we can dream it (Horizons)
We Go On (Illuminations)
Golden Dream (AE)
My mother and I, when I talk to her, call it "the Disney Chorus."
Now, there is a very good chance we're totally wrong about this, but we hear it. Anyone else?
Re: Thematic transformation
I think you could say the same thing about Adventureland...it's also a hodge-podge of continents and locations with no logical transition. And we've already pointed out the incongruity in Tomorrowland! I guess we don't notice it as much in Fantasyland where EVERYTHING is based on make-believe....instead of lands of make-believe based (very loosely) on reality.

Well, on the few of those attractions that I've experienced (well I've never seen Fantasmic or the Stars & Cars parade), I do agree...
Unfortunately, I haven't been to WDW in almost 2 years
so I'm not as up to date on things as I should be...I will take your word for it of course; we agree on everything else, so you must be right!

HAHAHA...
Yeah, I saw The American Adventure today and was reintroduced to the Disney Chorus.
Rob: That's pretty cool that Disney has its own chorus. They sound great.
