Join us on a tour through the only haunted house Jess will ever enter: The Haunted Mansion.

. .

Show notes:

  • Here is the link to the 1965 episode of Disney’s Wonderful World of Color that we mention in the episode
  • Ride facts (these are for Disney World only via Thrilldata.com):
    • Ride length:  10 minutes
    • Average wait time: 38 minutes
  • This ride is an Emotional Rope Drop Decision (ERDD) Ride. Jess can’t bring herself to make an ERDD ever so she would still choose to rope drop Jungle Cruise or Peter Pan and then hightail it over to Haunted Mansion. #RRDD
  • Jess mentioned that Paul Frees sang “You’re a Mean One Mr. Grinch.” This is not accurate, it is Thurl Ravenscroft who sang Grim Grinning Ghosts on the ride. That said, for those interested, Paul Frees DID voice the Jolly Green Giant in the Green Giant vegetable commercials and also did a lot of voice work in Rankin/Bass animation.
  • The men in the Haunted Mansion are referred to as “Butlers.”
  • Also the game in Wreck it Ralph was called Fix It Felix Jr.

Our thoughts on Haunted Mansion:

This is a must do for us, a 10/10 rated ride. Come for the scares, stay for the laughs, enjoy your time in the incredible queue, take in the amazing ambience.

And do not leave loved one’s ashes at the Haunted Mansion or WDW, period. That’ll get you banned for life, my friend. Or stuck in Disney Jail.
