The HM crossover merch fills me with impotent rage. I can't get decent HM pins, but I can get Fab 5 parody stretch portraits or Toy Story hitchhiking ghosts

How can you paint something that's already dead? /sarcasm

Some people want a Hatbox Ghost in Florida (which was planned and built back in the day before the effect failed), I just want the web man back in some form (there’s a chance it’s lying around in storage or the archives somewhere)

Where would they put him? The scene he was supposedly in was replaced by the Endless Staircase in 2007.

As we exit the attic facing backwards?

Isn't that where the Hatbox Ghost goes?

He should go where Connie is now. (or nowhere and let it be Disneyland's thang)
Man in Web could be "outside" the house.

I don't forsee them getting rid of Connie any time soon.

Don't spoil my armchair! LOL

Just being realistic.

Just being realistic.

In that case; I guess Hatbox can go were Connie currently resides. Connie can could go near the window with Man in Web being a "suitor" trapped in the Black Widow Bride's web. Get it? Sigh. I really dislike Constance. Shame she had to go and ruin the mansion. I miss the old attic.

I’m glad at least Florida’s Connie has a better projection than California’s. The head on theirs just looks like an inflatable balloon.

They really should upgrade Constance in California to the WDW model if not better.

I missed that one. I had Smurfette for most of my childhood.

Bring back intentionally scary AA's! I want my OG bride and the demon mermaids for PotC, dammit!

Speaking of Smurfette...I paid her a visit at the Walt Disney Archives! They had an exhibit featuring her and some attic props that were removed in 2007. This was for the mansion's 50th anniversary.

She was also featured in this exhibit at D23 in 2012/13:

If you've been visiting WDW's Haunted Mansion over the past year, you may have noticed that many of the graveyard ghosts have been receiving new coats of paint. Their 2007 green is being changed to blue, and the ghosts that have already been repainted look great! Ever since early 2019, a couple ghosts have been getting removed at a time, returning a few months later with their new coats. The lighting and scrims have also been getting adjusted.

Here are some screenshots I took from a YouTube video that was recorded by Attractions Tube in March, where you can see the work that's been done. You can see the ghosts that have been repainted and those that haven't, and how a couple are temporarily gone. The following ghosts have been repainted: headless knight, la-la singer, flute player, harp player, bagpipe player, king, queen, princess, and executioner. The following ghosts have been gone as of March 15: drummer and opera singers.

Screenshots are from this video:

The graveyard has really been in need of some TLC and I'm glad my beloved ghosts are getting the touch - ups they deserve. Now because of how construction projects have been halted during the parks' closure, I am assuming that mansion work has also been temporarily put to a stop.

Awesome to see!

That it is.

@Imagineer999 if I may ask, was that a special open-to-the-public thing at the archives, or are you one of the cool people who can drop in?

Follow up question: do you get plus-ones?
