Is it that time again already?!

The latest issue of Celebrations Magazine is now available!

You already know that it’s a fantastic magazine. I sing its praises when it arrives every month, so you really should pick it up.

To make it extra special for me this month, the cover story is about my favorite attraction of all time, The Haunted Mansion, and if I do say so myself, the article is fantastic. Then again, I may be a little biased, seeing as how I’m the one that wrote it!

So, stop wasting time, and order your copy today!!!!

Forty years ago today, on August 9, 2009, everyone’s favorite haunt opened at Disneyland.

Happy Birthday, Haunted Mansion!

My favorite ride at any Disney park (as I’m sure a good portion of you out there will agree) is The Haunted Mansion. Ever since I was a child, I have been obsessed with all things HM.

In 2007, my girlfriend and I took an one day trip to Walt Disney World while we were visiting some of her family in Florida. I was extremely disappointed that the Mansion was closed for refurbishing. To make up for it, when we went last month, I must have went on the ride at least 15 times throughout the week.

In any event, The Ghost Relations Department is reporting that WDW recently added yet another new addition to the Mansion, this time in the Corridor of Doors. A painting of the Ghost Host, which also appears at the Disneyland variation of the attraction, has now been hung among the photos of the Mansion’s ghoulish residents.

To me, it’s incredible that Imagineers are still tweaking Disney’s attraction. It shows their level of love for these places. Even after an extensive refurbishing at the WDW attraction, it’s nice to see new little touches being added from time to time.
