If it is open I would love to hear about it.

Originally Posted By Nobody I don't think that any of the show changes were supposed to happen this time around. I believe it was just the ADA evacuation changes. (I'm sure somebody with first-hand observations will report back soon to let us know for sure.)

Originally Posted By Darkbeer am currently sitting at the Top Brass at the Disneyland Hotel, just got off the Haunted Mansion, no real noticeable changes, but it is open. I am uploading photos, but let me tell you what I saw... The metal posts at the Mickey & Friends Tram Station now have ads, two for DCA, and one is a generic 50th Anniversary ad. The Large EVIL Chicken head is back, and now has sunglasses.... Lots of Haunted Mansion photos. The Sub Lagoon looks a lot different from Sunday, and the new "building" now has walls. (just outside the old cavern). I will post the photo link when I get done...

Originally Posted By mickey42397 Great pics ! I wish I could see more of the attic though, I mean, other than the bride.

You notice I only took two pictures with the flash and they were one right after the other. It isn't like I went through the whole ride snapping photos with flash on. I just thought I might get a different perspective with light. I hope I didn't offend anyone.

Originally Posted By knoxvelour whoa...wait a minute here! Those of you taking flash pictures on attractions should be ashamed of yourselves!!! Walt didn't want the experience of guests ruined by inconsiderate people taking pictures with an annoying flash. Don't you see what youo're doing here? You're going against Walt's wishes!!! Shame on the lot of you!
Originally Posted By knightnfrees Excellent point, Knox. I was on POTC the last day before closure. I was sitting in the 3rd row.

I could'nt believe they were that inconsiderate. But, luckily my eyes were ok after that. There's a reason why they don't allow using a flash on a dark ride. You're eyes get use to being in the dark and seeing a flash ruins the environment you've entered. Not to mention, doing a number on your eyes. So you see Mick, you can see why I'm not sympathetic to you using a flash. Ok, rant over.

I don't get to the park as often as most people here and I've ridden attractions I would venture to say HUNDREDS of times with no one using a flash. 3. I would have been royal tee'd-off if I'd been sitting in a doom buggy across from the flasher in Leota's room. Have to admit, however, it's pretty hilarious that we get to see their bright, shiny faces so clearly - along with the back of Leota's floating head. *LMAO* Now, back to your regularly-scheduled program.
