Secret Haunted Mansion portrait

[HMF]

More prop chasing time.

In this photo note the big portrait behind the small one and also note the pink chair behind the George and Constance portrait.

Can you find them in this picture prior to the refurb. Incidentally notice the Carpetbag it used to hide one of the pop-up Ghosts.


Much more to come.

Aww, I miss the Pop Ups...:lol: They used to make me jump.

Is it at the base of the candelabra located on the upper left hand side of the picture?

Yep!

 

[harveyt0206]

Yep!

I can't believe I found it. I have so much trouble locating them typically.

Here it is.

Note those wicker screens behind him which will be the subject of my next post.

and here we go. as you can see these wicker screens were originally behind the first pop-up ghost in what is now the Ambrose tableau. where they are now is not too hard to figure out.

On we go on our prop hunt.

The Candleabra used to be in the Music Room.
The chair in front of the Frank and Constance portrait used to be mounted on a beam.

The piece of armor is in virtually the same area now as it was then.
Notice those swords?
Those can now be found along with that wooden thing on the wall near the hatrack in the brides former spot.(And hopefully the Hatbox ghost's future spot.)

Note the pile of hatboxes one for each husband's head.one of them was there before the refurb.

A lot more miscellanious prop finding coming soon.

:sohappy: Cool stuff! Thanks HMF!

Moving back to this photo.

Note the carpet it used to be at the feet of the old Bride. You can just barely glimpse it in this photo.)

The table which holds the Ambrose and Constance Wedding book Was on the other side of the track. (Where Frank is now)

and had the sheet music for "Im' on my way to Mandalay" on it.

Up next-"The mystery of the headless statue"

THE MYSTERY OF THE HEADLESS STATUE!!!!
In the area which is now the Frank Tableaux Notice the statue of the woman with the basket?

She remained pretty much intact through the last three decades of the 20th Century but sometime between 1999 and 2002

Her head dissappered from her body during a refurb. WDI put a fake head shaped thing in front of her to make up for the missing head.
We do not know where the statue (or the head) is after the refurb but we do know where the replacement head is. Hiding behind the pile of Hatboxes. Look very closely.

Up next "The Golden Buddah".)

LOVE the Hats in the HBG Spot, and the Pop Up Ghost. He looks like a relative to HBG. :lol:

The photo was taken from an article I linked to earlier regarding the Lady & the Unicorn Tapestry

Oh and the chair is from the HM Movie.

Now time for the Golden Buddah.

He was originally on the left hand side in what is now the frank tableaux near the be-headed statue.
With the recent refurb he was moved to the right hand side into the Marquis tableaux.

Notice how the red drapery barely moved at all after the refurb.

To finish with Note the carpetbag in this photo.

Here is where it used to be along with that carpet.

I hope you guys enjoyed my analysis of the re-shuffling of the Attic props for the 07 refurb. If you guys notice something interesting that I have not please point it out. Thanks!:wave:

Lots of time analyzing photos.

I just found something very cool in the old WDW Attic that is probably not there anymore.
