I'll have to agree. I absolutely love the plantation style of our Haunted Mansion more than any other. I do wish the actual ride had more ties to Dixie, though. I know the gargoyles in the Stretching Room are inspired by French design, fitting in with New Orleans Square. The dueling portraits and the ballroom ghosts definitely evoke feelings of the South, as well. I'm sure there's plenty of details in the graveyard that are inspired directly from New Orleans. Would love to see someone do a study of the attraction that highlights all the Southern elements of the ride.
