Haunted Mansion 50th Anniversary Thread

[TROR]

I'm impressed, but I really wanted a new bride for the 50th.

I mean, they really went all out! Fantastic! Disneyland cares still.

I heard they have a live knight in there today.

Yeah, I saw a twitter post mentioning that. Hopefully we might get a video of that happening.

Disney could offer $10 Million dollar burial plot on grounds?

They just closed the gates...

Broken down!

My sister and Bruh-In-Law were there last night/ this morning. They said they had a lot of fun. They confirmed the live knight as well as a live hitch hiking ghost. They re also giving me one of each of the below.

No changes at all for normal day guests aside from decorations outside. At 50, HM is pretty much of an old fart and showing its age. Not a bad thing.

House could use some work.

What am I looking at?

Visited the Disney Studios for reasons I legally can't discuss but if you live in LA you probably know why, but while there I took enjoyment of a Walt Disney Archives display celebrating the Mansion's 50th they had in the lobby of one of the buildings. There were early storyboards of the attraction and the blue bride figure in the case. Cool stuff.

Looks like a floating instrument in Leota's seance.

But what is it and where is it from?

It ain't from there.

Happy Birthday, Haunted Mansion! My latest work:

Not the best quality of the Haunted Mansion ride, but you can see the Knight moving around 2:38 mark of this video.


I love how Disneyland somehow found a way to bring back the live actor for the Knight. Which hadn't been used since the early 1970s.

Worth noting, those props are from Walt Disney World's Mansion- not Disneyland.

The bride is different, and I confirmed with someone who works on the lot (who I was ready to start harassing about getting me on the lot to see the display). But, they're still amazing pieces that can provide insight into what stuff at Disneyland used to be like for those of us who've had Constance our entire remembered lives. Here are photos someone took and shared on a Facebook page:

They could replace the current Constance with this one with no audio or lighting and it would be a major upgrade
