Or the Fact that it should be open for the 1st Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Parties.Its a guess that I am basing off of the HMH in Disneyland.

I don't believe the problem is the overlay. It's the time it takes to put it up and take it down. ALMOST TWO MONTHS OF THE YEAR! That's a little under 17% of the year that a major, marquee, e-ticket attraction with a huge reputation is closed. Not overlayed, just straight up CLOSED. Why do you think our HM is in such bad shape already??? Because to this point they haven't wanted to take it down for a very long period of time. The only reason this conversation is happening is because it's in such disrepair they're getting to where they HAVE to close it. There are no other options. But to close it yearly is begging for massive, massive guest complaints. I'm convinced it's about this, and not the actual overlay, that has kept Jack out of our HM.
And I understand your point that if some research were done, people would find this out. But come on. Let's be honest. The common person visits Disney very infrequently. They're not the people on these boards. They're not the ones with the finger on the pulse like we are. Attraction closures (for lengthy rehabs) probably aren't on the mind of Average Joe Tourist. It's all well and good that they should understand these things are required at times, but not all apparently agree with that... Or we wouldn't have our HM falling apart as much as it is right now because they'd be staying on top of it.
I stopped reading after the first sentence of your post, because you don't understand well.
I responded to a post that said this:
"The only people who dislike Haunted Mansion Holiday are people who have never actually experienced the attraction for themselves."
That merits a response of "you can speak for everyone?" because he SPOKE FOR EVERYONE.
Nothing I wrote even remotely implied I was speaking for annyone but myself, genius. Read next time..........then post.
You've misread and interpreted a vague reference to the general public. I, in no way, directly referred to the thoughts or demands of everyone attending WDW.Wrong. here's your DIRECT QUOTE "...but people who come once a year want to see the real thing, not a movie makeover." People means more than one person. People means a group of persons...in fact it's such a vague term you may in fact be referring to everyone on the planet. I did read. You, by your own admission did not. And apparently you didn't read your own post as well. I do not claim to be a "genius," (thank you, however, for the compliment) but I do know the defintion of "people," and you aren't speaking for all of the people.

The other poster, in fact, did.
If you'd like to try another shot at clever word play to prove you're right, you may, but don't do it for my sake. It's wasted on me.
I would be happy if they just replaced all of the speakers in the Doom Buggies. I mean I know what he says by heart at this point but it's still moderately annoying and I imagine frustrating for guests who only get to hear it occasionally.

The Pop ups would be removed if we get the new Attic Bride (Constance)Its a glorified carnival ride thats only popular because of nostalgia. Instead of wasting money on a pants overlay based on an old cult (as in not that popular) movie, the money should be used to invest in state of the art dark ride, like Superman style, you could even keep the ghost theme, just ditch the 90 year old mechanical pop ups and cheesy Walmart quality masks and costumes.
Far from un-popular, and that was only a 1 day run!
See, the beautiful thing here is that October, November and December come in the SAME PART OF THE CALENDAR every single year. If you want to see Haunted Mansion, then DON'T PLAN YOUR TRIP in one of the months that you would *KNOW* far in advance will feature the Holiday overlay.
This theory of "I only come once in a while" is total bull. It's been used many times in the past by others as well. Why would you drop thousands of dollars without doing a minimal amount of research first? It's not like the Haunted Mansion Holiday overlay is a SURPRISE, it's not like it JUST HAPPENS without knowing about it. No one says you have to like it, but don't use lame self-centered excuses to defend not having it. There's almost nine months of the year that Haunted Mansion would have nothing to do with the Nightmare Before Christmas. If you book a vacation in the *three* that have the overlay, it's no one's fault but your own.
Harsh? You may think so - I completely disagree. I see it as realistic.
But do Emos and shoe stare-ers go to Disney? I suggest that they dont.
The only people who dislike Haunted Mansion Holiday are people who have never actually experienced the attraction for themselves.![]()
