Fun ride, and probably one of my favorites at the Magic Kingdom.

I remember the HM but in Disney World. Once i read about the knight chasing after the people i couldn’t stop laughing. i remember the ballroom and these cool mirrors that when you passed by a ghost would be either sitting on you or sitting next to you, it was so much fun and i wish that i could have stayed longer but my little sister ended up having the flu so we had to leave

I believe the trees(the spooky ones after the attic) were used in Disney’s Babes in Toyland. They look the same, but I’ve never asked anyone.

As a former cast member, nothing is scarier than the rule book for being a Disney employee.

We were all given matching denim shirts that we were instructed to wear with black pants and black shoes. No one said anything about what we had to wear underneath. One day I wore a pink camisole and got written up for not following the dress code (only black or white undershirts allowed). The horror!

A year ago, my husband and I stayed at the Hamilton Turner Inn in Savannah. One of the stories told there is that the house was the inspiration for the Haunted Mansion at Disney. You can see it on the web at hamilton-turnerinn dot com.

I can’t believe you left this out! The Haunted Mansion was changed over 20 years ago to make it less scary. Apparently it was bothersome to folks with heart trouble. Could this be the knight you mentioned or was something else changed?

I would enjoy spending a few hours looking at the haunts of the Haunted House (as the writer suggested) but the link is not working. When will it be back up.

Cory’s story mirrors my first ride, right down to losing the toys I bought at the gift store! And as for “Grim, Grinning Ghosts”, I’m sure X thought it up himself; I can’t count how many times I thought I was original, and discover someone else had already beat me to it. Besides, it’s just good alliteration.

I don’t think the link for number 7 is working correctly.

I love the HM, and part of me is so sad that since I moved to DC this summer, I won’t be able to drive down to Disneyland and go get spooked! It’d be great right now, all geared up for Halloween again.

Anyway, loved this post…I’m a huge fan of the DoomBuggies website.

Also, I remember a few years ago when it was the 35th anniversary, the Disney Gallery above PotC had an exhibit on it…and if you solved all these riddles, you’d get a prize. I did it, and we got to go to the front of the line for the rest of the day for the ride.

Good times, good times.
