Haunted Mansion Christmas

[kaybird]

This truly illustrates the Disney Family. Our friend Bill worked for Disney as an artist for many years. He was especially proud of working on the HM Christmas in DL since the beginning. He lost his battle with cancer this year, and his friends paid him a tribute (Very special in Disney), so when you are in the attic at the HM Christmas, look for the Package wrapped in red and white, with a bone shaped label that says "Bill". RIP dear friend, and smile down on those who loved you!!!

How cool is that.

I'm sorry for your loss. That is such a wonderful thing to do to honor his hard work and passion for what he helped accomplish.

Is this at DL or WDW? WDW's HM does not get the overlay.

Sounds like DL to me. Will look for it next week - I hope I remember which room is the "attic."

If its like WDW's--and I assume it is--it will be immediately after the ballroom.

I'll look for the special present in the attic when I'm there in December. Thanks, Bill, for helping make my favorite place so special Kaybird, I am sorry for your loss

We will look for that in Dec... That is a very nice tribute

 

[Kittyskyfish]

Oh my. That is a really thoughtful tribute for Bill. We'll keep an eye out for his 'gift' this December! My thoughts to you and your family.

kaybird, I am so sorry for the loss of your friend. Thank you for sharing his part, in the bringing about of Haunted Mansion Holiday.

We love HMH, and look forward to it every year, and knowing about Bill, will make it even more special.

We will most definitely look for "his" Christmas parcel, and think of him as we do so.

So sorry for the loss of your friend. It sounds like his Disney crew came up with a lovely tribute and I will be sure to keep my eyes peeled when we visit in December.

 

[Dot2Vegas]

So sorry for the loss of your friend. What a lovely tribute to him! I will be looking for it when we go next month.

It is at DL. His widow is my good friend since high school, and also worked for Disney for more than 20 years.

The label is so cute, says Bill and has a hand drawn crown. (Last name "King", lol imagineers!)

So sorry for your loss.

What a wonderful, touching tribute from his Disney family.

So very sorry for your loss.


Thank you, Bill, for all that you have done. Say hello to Walt for us.

kaybird,
My thoughts were with you yesterday when I rode HM. The tribute "gift" to Bill was wonderful!

The gift package is on the left-hand side of the ride in the second section of the attic area. It is the last package in that section - very cute tag with the crown next to Bill's name!

I will be looking for the tribute when we go in November-sorry for your loss.
