Not sure. But the ToT uniform is certainly an easy shirt to recreate DIY.

I have seen some official CM clothes on Ebay before as well as the HM butler uniforms for what that's worth. If Disney is selling the ToT tees it must have been fairly recent. I'm all for attraction specific gifts. The idea of a dedicated gift shop is only better!

I'm not even into the HM or it's merch but this has me excited. I'm hoping it will spread to other attractions and resorts!

(Don't shoot, but I'd love similar treatment for IASW. Seriously, I love the art design of Mary Blair and would love to see some real IASW merch with it. And I'm not talking about the character stuff from DL that somehow makes its way to WDW. A couple of years ago I bought a fitted women's tee with the IASW clock on it and it's my fave.)

Me too. I would love to see some groovy, vintage-y merch like what they did with the orange bird. I would buy the hell out of anythingwith Mary Blair or Marc Davis art on it

Like the idea of an exclusive Haunted Mansion gift shop, but Yankee Trader is a bit too far away.

Ideally, they would have used the space now occupied by Rapunzel's Enchanted Outhouses....expanded pet cemetery towards the east and built a "Servant's Quarters" that would have been built to match the HM and housed restrooms and a gift shop.

Oh my god that is BRILLIANT!!!!! I wish to heck this could happen.

Or maybe...the Rapunzel restrooms could have been themed to the Haunted Mansion. With mirrors that ghosts would appear in from time to time, and the staring wallpaper, and ghostly voices like Moaning Myrtle's over at WWOP....yeah, I'm kidding. Seriously, your idea rocks.

They ought to have a snowglobe based on the HM crystal ball! Oh my god I'd buy one in a minute!

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please suggest this to them - I freakin love snow globes but never did I think of a HM crystal ball from that scene. I would not want the snow though just the globe and it plays the scary music and maybe misty water. sign me up :)

My ideal "HM Snowglobe"

Height: about 7" tall with the main globe being a 4" ball lighted from it's base with hauntingly-green LEDs.
Musicbox: an added wind-up music box mechanism is added to the base that plays GGG.

The face of Madam Leota would be constructed as an inverted "shell" similar to the "busts that follow you" in the attraction. It would appear as if she's following your every movement -- floating left or right within the ball depending upon the direction one looks. Her face is "suspended" by an attached clear stand. The "snow" of this fantasy snowglobe would actually be a pearlescent liquid; which looks like fog or smoke when the globe is shaken.

Oh, I wish this was available to purchase...

Does anyone know if this on-ride photo aspect of the Yankee Trader overhaul will in any way impact the closure of HM? Has anyone noticed cameras in the attraction yet?

Since it apparently has been in the works since the Mansion redo that added the video-based hitchhiking ghosts, presumably the tech was installed at that time and has been sitting dormant.
