Does anyone know how many times Thurl Ravenscroft can be found throughout WDW? I know he is in HM (Grim Grinning Ghosts) and his voice was (or is) in Mark Twain's Riverboat in DL. Where else can we find him? He one of Disney's greatest. I once heard that he was a singer in its a small world but i don't remember ever hearing his voice.

He was Tangaroa at the Disneyland Tiki Room and maybe Ngendi, but I'm not sure, as that's only a good guess. He's also Buff at the Country Bear Jamboree(the buffalo head) and almost every drunk pirate in Pirates of the Caribbean(with the new version, it will basically be him and Johnny Depp as drunks) and I think he's somewhere in Splash Mountain.

i found this while researching him:
"His voice is also heard in many Disneyland and Walt Disney World attractions. He is the voice of "Buff," the buffalo head on the Country Bear Jamboree; lead vocalist on the theme song "Grim Grinning Ghosts" in the Haunted Mansion (his face is on the bust that many people have mistaken for Walt Disney); "Fritz," the German-accented parrot in the Enchanted Tiki Room; Narrator on the Disneyland Railroad (not the voice that announces the train boarding or departing); the original voice of the First Mate on the Mark Twain Steamship; and one of the bass voices in the chorus of "It's a Small World." He also provided narration on the original Pirates of the Caribbean vinyl recording, as well as singing several pirate-themed songs."
Thurl will live forever in the Haunted Mansion, but he was also in Cindarella, Dumbo and Mary Poppins. I'm glad that i've answered my own question. lol
here's a website i found on him-

Another great disney voice was Paul Frees. Frees is your "ghost host" in hm and he is also the voice of Professor Ludwig Von Drake his voice was in 280 movies and television shows.
