Episode 18 - Disneyland's Haunted Mansion
Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion? Yes, let’s talk about it, OK? This is Bobtober, for the love of Halloween, after all. What do I love about the Haunted Mansion? Pretty much everything. There really isn’t any linear story behind the whole thing, but this is a for sure “who cares”??? kind of situation. The Disney Magic (tm) is strong with this one. From the inside jokes of the imagineers (the tombstones of yesteryear, the names on the crypts in the grounds), to the REAL ghosts of the Mansion, this ride is magical, truly. Slightly scary but mostly fun. The little details though - that’s what gets me every single time. That’s truly where Disneyland shines. The goth side of me falls in love every time I ride. So does the other parts of me, which is also slightly goth. So there you go. History of the creation and building of the Haunted Mansion, a walkthroguh of the ride itself, trivia and most importantly, true ghosts of the Mansion! I love it and hope you do too.

Hello!
This is NOT the Haunted Mansion you’re looking for.
“I don’t wanna be buried, in a pet cemetary”
“I don’t wanna go on this ride”
