it was fun...i had a good time...basically the tour starts out at guest relations right outside of DCA...in our tour there were 20 people...they had us wait in the VIP lounge...
did I feel special or what???
while we were waiting they had Legend of Sleepy Hollow on dvd playing for us...
all of a sudden there was this burst in the door and this wild looking crazy girl who was dressed up like she was an original ghostbuster came in telling us that her name is Rachel and has been a CM for awhile and she had just been offered this job and she had been waiting her whole life for something like this as a ghost hunter and told us she had seen every twilight zone episode there ever was...so the first thing we got was the ear pieces and then she told us to go with her to TOT and she had her little ghost hunting gun out moving it around all down the street till we got there...while we were waiting in line she asks us what our favorite Twilight Zone episode was and keeps asking over and over about some Tina one...we get all the way to the elevator and she chickens out riding it with us...says shes too scared
but when the doors open after the ride she is no where to be found
in her place is a woman called Jessica...now Jessica is wearing an old timey black dress and button up shoes with a cap of some sort and has a wrap around her shoulders...she is carrying ropes with an old fashioned key at the end of each one and tells us we must put it on...here is a pic of the rope
lighted:
and the key which has a D on one side in fancy script and the other side it says "
Disneyland Ghost Relations"
now we are told to turn on our earpacks and all I can hear is static and the occasional moan and then music...all of a sudden she starts to speak in an eerie voice...we find out that she is a spirit from the past that lives in the mansion and she takes us to DL and tells us the "other" side of the fairy tales in which the villains are really just misunderstood...for instance she tells us about Capt. Hook who is a hard working seaman who is constantly harrassed by a boy and a crocodile and that psychologists actually have a syndrome named after the boy...also she tells us about poor Snow White's stepmother..who all these years has been told she is the fairest one of all and then she comes in and takes all that from her oh and how ingenious it was of Maleficent to turn herself into a dragon and that it took alot of work and she never got any applause for her efforts...also she told us about "goblins" these little ones that are everywhere and if you dont run quickly from them they will latch on to you and stay with you for at least 18 years...hmmm so thats what happened
we continued on and she told us ghost stories about New Orleans and gold mining towns and dia de los muertos..we rode snow white's adventure, BTMR and every so often our tour guide rachel would appear and want to know what happened to us but when she showed up, Jessica would disappear as well
...she never saw our spirit though and the spirit had a good laugh at Rachels expense...we were over at BTR and she was telling us how the ranch hands would tell of a ghost there who wore a pumpkin on his head and float around and all you saw was this pumpkin head...well the spirit snuck up behind her from inside the ranch and made the pumpkin float behind her and scared her silly so she ran off from us again...I ended up telling her that I thought she should find another job because she was way too scared to be a ghost hunter and she said she had been told that
anyways whenever Rachel would run off screaming, Jessica would be right back where she left off laughing that she scared rachel
...we finally ended up right outside of the bathrooms by NOS train station and Rachel finally was able to see our spirit with her equipment and she tried to chase after her to get some questions answered but no luck so we ended up over at HM and rode HMH and when we got in the buggy and started going upstairs, there was Jessica holding an old fashioned umbrella all illuminated from the white lights..it looked so cool...we werent expecting her there so we all kind of gasped but it made me chuckle a bit to see her...when we got off, Rachel was there saying that Jessica left a note and a basket of apples for us...they were of course candied apples on a stick...cinnamon to be exact...
i never thought they would let us keep the key and rope but they did and alot of people asked where I got the rope and key as they wanted to buy one...the tour was fun especially due to the fact that both girls played their parts to the extreme...they were perfect and made the tour very interesting...I know that this year Halloween is just a few more days and its probably too late to do it now but next year if they offer it I would suggest anyone with a slight interest in it to take it...I had alot of fun and they were very creative in the treats they gave out..I was expecting hot cider in a collector mug and maybe some candy and a collector pin like in the Holiday Tour but I was pleasantly surprised
...we stayed at DLH and ate at Steakhouse 55 for breakfast and did Crocs for nachos and my dd ate a veggie burger from there... did Lilo and Stitch, Naples, CC for lunch, Minnie and Friends, Wine Country Trattoria, and La Brea...so if anyone has any questions I will be glad to answer them...tomorrow
I soo want to do this next year !! Thanks so much for posting... verrrry cool.
The key, however, is hanging on my wall, right next to my bed.
