Terrific Tuesdays: The Haunted Mansion

The Haunted Mansion has always been one of my “Must-dos” when in Magic Kingdom. I am not a horror film or haunted house type of person, nor do I like to be scared so Haunted Mansion is definitely up my alley. I have heard more than one child or adult for that matter say, “but I don’t like scary things”. Unless they are really afraid of the dark, I highly recommend riding this. Even my granddaughter, who at age 4, kept saying, “I don’t like the dark”, still really enjoyed it, well, except for the darkness. Read more

During my recent visit to Disney World my boyfriend and I were privileged enough to get a sneak peek at the New Fantasyland.  We were enjoying the Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party when we thought we would stop by and see if there were holding viewings.  They said that they probably would start holding some previews once the actual party started.  While we were deciding what to do, wait around or go on more rides, a manager came over.  He asked us how many were in our party and after finding another couple told us to follow him.  He directed us straight over to Maurice’s Cottage.  He said we would be allowed to see all of the New Fantasyland but would have to start at the cottage.  I was encouraged to take as many pictures as I wanted.
