Master Gracey has totally kicked Jedi Mickeys butt on my site! (more interest in one letter than 120 SWW photos). Go figure.

Originally Posted By nbodyhome I actually thought so too (that it was nicely done). I wasn't expecting the whole mansion to be barricaded, but I liked the note idea.

AND ... just maybe ... a new entrance scene and some new effects in the portrait hallway.

Originally Posted By DLFAN1979 Skellington, its the same costume DESIGN, just new ones, ala Small World and Pirates, altough those got enhanced quite a bit as well. Certain patterns, new accesories, and lots of color saturation. As far as Mansion, we already have 2 sets of jackets made for the men (gold and lilac), new dickies, and new shirts. Ballgowns should be starting soon!

Originally Posted By ChampDisney I heard a while back that the Haunted Mansion will also have a new gift shop at the end of the ride like Pirates. But that seems dead now.
