From what is known, is WDW version going to be on par/better/worse than DL's![]()
If anyone is interested in more information on the specific rooms, click here.Okay, hopefully I'm not doing anything wrong here. For some clarification and maybe edification that folks would be interested in, here are the official titles of the scenes as you go through.

Don't think I forgot anything.
On par for guests, pretty much. Depends on whether you prefer New England or New Orleans style mansions, really. And whether or not you prefer to ride through the gallery and library. From what I understand, cosmetic changes are pretty much going to take it down to what the comparison was a few years ago: tiny differences that come down to personal preference, but mostly the same.
One exception might be the grand staircase. If they do put a great show scene in there, it could be the more objective tie-breaker.
As I hear it...no.
New stuff added...broken stuff fixed...outdated stuff updated.
I'm told they aren't going the el cheapo on Mansion.
If Alien Encounter caused problems, imagine how Phantom Manor would eventually struggle.
Why? I created it so it isn't forged.FYI, Firefox reports that LINK as "Suspected Web Forgery"
From what I've seen on the computer, Phantom Manor is king of the other mansions. It has that classic Haunted Mansion feel, but it is so much scary and original.I went on the DLP version last week and it blows MK version out of the water. In fact I thought all the staff in the park were training to be Phantom Manor CM's with their sullen attitudes.
Hopefully without the musical instruments. Growing up, I hated that aspect of the room. I loved the Leota effect, but didnt like the instruments for some reason. With the advances in technology, they could do some holographic projections of instruments into a fog curtain, similar to Davy Jones in POTC. That would be cool.
I think the musical instruments are here to stay. Out of all of the neat things in the ride, the musical instruments were a part of the movie so I don't think they'll be going away.I agree with this one...they never made sense to me, and seemed just put in because a) they couldn't think of anything better and b) to add more whimsy to the scene to appease the little tykes.

Oh believe me, it is all that and more. Darker, but with `comical` interludes so as to make it not too scary (comical as in the singing busts, not in the one liners of dear departed AE) - it can be taken on so many levels by kids and adults. The main impression I got from fellow guests (and I admit myself on my first ride) was one of shear awe, being so used to the WDW version. I`m hoping (but won`t bank on it) some of the Paris ideas make it over to the MK (same as my hopes for SM, but thats OT) - `feautre` A-100 AAs, full colour ballroom dancers (the right way round of course!), visual effects that still look state of the art 15 years later, a great lighting scheme as opposed to variations of orange or blue... a wish list I know, but hey!From what I've seen on the computer, Phantom Manor is king of the other mansions.

The instruments correspond with what Madam Leota is saying:
"awaken the spirits with your tambourine"
"send us a hint, by ringing a bell"
"blow on a horn, its time to respond, send us a message from regions beyond"
