I would assume this is the crypt gift shop at the end. The unload area will be reworked, and it sounds cool. I kinda hope they divert from current trends and make this an "offset" giftshop instead of a "required-to-exit" floorplan, but I'm glad the end of Mansion is getting an update. There are some other threads talking about this.

Just to clarify... this news came in from a caller. The information was very vague and I'm hoping to get to the bottom of it if I can. It may very well simply be the rumored gift shop/photo op that he was talking about.

No! Please don't let it be a gift shop!!!

Well, for all we know, it could just be a refitting of the ride where they're adding effects like the floating Leota, and the new bride.

I just got a hold of the kid that called in....I met him on another Disney board and he said that it will be in fact another section of the ride....He spoke with a castmember last week in which she explained that blueprints were being done to finalize the reworkign of the end of the ride. It will be movie-related (which sucks), but I guess it'll be nice to get rid of those stupid spiders!! Ricky I hope this helps clear things up for your next podcast! Feel free to use my username on the air if necessary!

I agree, i hope this doesnt start a trend with the movies ispiring changes to the rides and not the other way around. I for one would love to see the haunted mansion get a bit of an update. With some of the technology used in the TOT it can be a truely spectacular ride.

First off, who is this Cast Member they were talking to? Was it a regular attraction CM (if so, I consider this just as real as any bus driver rumor) or a "high-up" CM.

Secondly, if this were to happen, they wouldn't necessarily be inserting an Eddie Murphy AA. It could be the graveyard/tomb scene or even something with the scary butler.

To me, any refurb for the HM would be greatly appreciated. As it stands, the stretching rooms are in disrepair, ruining the effect, the audio doesn't work on many of the doombuggies & there is no central story to the attraction. PotC suffered the same story problems, but the refurb greatly helped with that.

So for right now, I don't think anyone should overreact. Because right now, there is no solid evidence (besides he said she said) that it is a go. And even if it is, there is no solid evidence what it would look like.

Does anyone else remember when you didn't have to go in the gift shop in ToT and you could just walk past it? I seem to remember there being a time when you could... but who knows...

Who was the CM? Coming from the construction side of WDW, the only thing happening at this point is the rehab involving the queue area in front of HM and Liberty Belle.The only plans we know of involving any rehab in Hm don't include a new room at all. A gift shop is the only "room" persay that is being looked at being added once the rehab is approved.The gift shop if given the go ahead would be like a crypt,which you would go through to exit the ride as mentioned by EPCOT82
