I love your love for the HM. It makes me super duper excited that I get to ride HM with you in May. It's going to be amazing!
I want a doom buggy too!
We are going to have a ton of fun on all the rides but I imagine the ones we truly have a love for are going to be spectacular!!!
I think I could totally do a haunted mansion theme to my house if I got a doombuggy.
You are so adorable! Your love for the Haunted Mansion is contagious. I wish I could hope into a Doom Buggy right this second.
Loved the 'ghostly mischieve' bit! Can't wait to read more!
I wish I could hop into one right now too...we could do that and have lunch at Yak and Yeti it would be a perfect day!!!
I'm trying to think if there is something I love as much as you love the Haunted Mansion. So far I haven't come up with anything.... except champagne.
Very nice start. You are definitely doing the HM justice!
Oh, before I forget, I would love to see the scrapbooking you do this weekend!
Well that's not a bad thing to love my friend!! LOL!!! I will definitely take some pictures of my scrapbooking pages for you to see then C!!!
LOVE IT!!! HM is one of my faves and Connor's -- maybe even my number one fave -- so I am eating this up, Jen!!!
That's classic right there!!! I heard that Saturday while I was on hold and it made my day!!!
I had no idea about this -- I will have to pay attention to the plants in June! I have no luck with plants either.
Isn't that one of your favorite parts??? I remember as a kid even, I loved how that safety bar came down on its own.
Our HM ride last year actually had this happen to us -- we were stuck in the ballroom for a good five minutes -- Connor and I were dangling over our safety bar and having the time of our lives pointing out all the details.
Beautifully done so far, Jen!
AWWWW...I'm so jealous you got stuck in front of the ballroom SERIOUSLY!!! That is not fair...I got to get stuck in front of the library which was cool but sort of disconcerting with those "busts" staring at me, but the ballroom. Oh well if I had my choice where I could get stuck I would love to be in the attic scene, so much to see and so little time in there LOL!
Jen, you crack me up!! It's a good anticipation
(BTW, I think you are my hero Christine!
)
That's a good thing, I hope people enjoy my TR as much as I am enjoying writing it LOL!!!!
I SOOOO have not paid enough attention to the HM. You need to stop by my TR and check out the HM outfits one of the Disboutiquers made for her family. I really need to learn more Haunted Mansion secrets. The only one I knew was about the ring and now it's gone
It is terribly sad the ring is gone now, I made sure to get a picture of it before it disappeared. It was a great piece of lore to the ride. Ohhh I will definitely stop by...Haunted Mansion outfits that is just way too cool!! You guys are so talented I'm amazed!!
great update and pics
HM is an awesome ride.
It really is! Thanks!!!
You are too cute! What a great post! I'm looking forward to more and "riding" it along with you.
Of course, being that I have never been on the ride I have NO clue on all the jokes...I kinda want to PM you to find out, but I kinda want to find out on my own in December...hmmmm...
Looking forward to more!
And, I would love to see your scrapbooking as well!
Brook we have got to get you on this ride!!! I hear rumors that you might be taking a solo trip in May...well make sure you show up around say May 22nd LOL and well I will personally take you on your own mini-event called Riding the Haunted Mansion with an Obsessed Freak for the first time...could it possibly get any better than that LOL!!!
No prob this weekend I will definitely post pictures of my scrapbooking, it is definitely not something I take lightly either LOL!!!
Oh Jen that was fabulous!! You really took me to the Haunted Mansion in your update! Thanks!
It's my favourite ride too! I'm excited to hear what Mr. Nobwick thought of it! I can't wait to hit this ride with you at Gnomefest! I agree, the whole atmosphere and theming...amazing! And the CM's at this ride always seem to be in character which is awesome! I've had some scare the wits out of me! When DBFF and I were on the one in
Disneyland, the CM actually hitched a ride on our Doombuggy and came around swung around and scared the ever-livin' out of us a few seconds into the ride!
I don't know if I've ever been so scared! Anyhow, can't wait to see more as always!
Okay see those are the moments I live for...that is way too cool yet completely and utterly heart stopping. I had a CM on the last trip walk right behind me and I was too focused on looking at the potraits and right in my ear said step to the "dead" center of the room. Needless to say I was scared sensless and I think he was amused by it!!! LOL!!!!
We are going to have a blast riding this together at Gnomefest...much trouble and much spookage will be had. I've been working on my event and the best way to show you all how I see the Haunted Mansion LOL
I find it absolutely appropo that hearing the words, "Welcome, Foolish Mortals," makes your spirit soar. I guess they really are working on us to become spirits, eh???
What a great description of this ride. Honestly, this ranks up there on my must do list for every single Disney trip. It just doesn't feel right unless we go on the Haunted Mansion. Pretty much that and Pirates. That makes Disney to me, so I totally get it, and I can't wait to read more.
I have to agree with you TK a trip to Disney would not be Disney for me if I skipped the Haunted Mansion. It doesn't have to be my first ride of the trip but at some point I do have to ride on it and thorougly enjoy my time.
Have you listened to "Mousetalgia" Jen? It's actually a DisneyLAND podcast, but one of the creators of the Doombuggies website is one of the hosts, and they talk about it a lot. One episode they talk about a Doombuggies anniversary event they held AT the HM w/one of the Disney Legendrs, Bob Gurr (sp?) who designed the doombuggie. It's a great funny podcast, you should listen!
I have no heard of this yet Julez, thank you I will definitely be checking it out now though!! Thanks!!! Man I love me some doombuggies LOL!!
OMG - Your passion for HM is contagious and if I was home I would post you the most perfect HM picture, but it will have to wait!
Well don't make me wait too long I want the most perfect picture of the Haunted Mansion!
??? That is my 16th wedding anniversary:
. My ultimate dream is to be all alone (ie no kids
) on that ride with DH! It is our absolute favorite.
