I made this nerdy catalog of my pins on this site. You should do it too. Also I'm going tomorrow for the re-opening of the Haunted Mansion, so if anyone wants me to look for anything...speak now!

I know there are a few of you nerds out there.

Slight sidetrack:

This reminds me that I said I was going to dig out my Bandai Museum (now closed...or maybe reopened but much smaller) pins and post a pic. Thanks Missy!

What? This is a toy board, there aren't any nerds here!

pfft! nerds...

Riiiiiiiiight.

missy, let us know what you think of the changes at the Mansion!

Yea for sure let us know. I am going in January and didn't know they were changing it. What did they do?

Put Eddie Murphy in it?

Good lord I hope not.

I thought it was pretty lame when they removed the word "wenches" from the Pirates of the Caribbean ride on the fear that it might offend someone. Context already, jeez! Politically correct 18th century pirates? Sure thing, mouse.

Well you don't want to offend real life wenches do you?

i've never even been to disney

I'm all for respecting women. I just worry that those looking out for wymmin will next pirate the word "booty" from the ride on the principle that it might offend someone, somewhere.

Ugh, Eddie Murphy in the Mansion. Ghosts in drag fat suits making fart jokes. Please, ghost of Uncle Walt, nooooo!

Yeah, you should see how they smeard Captian Jack everywhere in the ride, really ruined it for me.

Whoa, I had no idea. I thought the "Eddie Murphy" speculation was just a joke, but it sounds like they might actually stoop to such a rewrite. Wow, sorry to hear that they modified the ride to fit the movies. Something about the venerable "Pirates" ride made it the best of the originals for fifty years. Yo ho ho and a bottle of Diet Pepsi Lite or whatever. Ugh.

I loved the "Pirates" movies, best thing Disney has done next to teaming with Pixar in ages, but I don't want my ride all covered with it!

there is no eddie murphy dorks. honestly.

They've updated the audio, added a stairwell, and given the bride in the attic a big more of a back story (not involving eddie)...added some ghosts and placed the bride's ring back in its rightful place in liberty square in the concrete near the mansion.

can't wait!

It's crazy, every time I go to disneyland(which isn't very often) I get this insane feeling of just being so young and living in a world where time doesn't matter. I can't really explain and I know it sounds dumb, but I'm sure a few other people get that same feeling.

I hope to go back within a year.

Same here. I haven't been since 2000 and this year will be my son's first time to go. So you can imagine i am pretty pumped about it.

did you tell skylar this stuff already? hehe

this weekend is going to be a blast! we're riding the mansion like 9 times at least

Missy I sent you a message regarding HM pins.

Thanks and have fun!

I was at Disneyland 2 weeks ago and had no idea they were revamping the Mansion.

Also, I thought they are doing another year with Nighmare Before Christmas theme (which I really love) so are they doing the regular ride for a month with the updates and then back to NBC for the remainder of the year?

hey sorry the board wouldn't work for me all day. i saw that i had a message in my email, but could not get on here to see it.

There are special ones for the event. See them here:

The haunted mansion at WDW never does NBC, its only Disneyland that does that, so this ride will stay the same until they update it next.

yeah, nothing special is going on at Disneyland, only Disneyworld. meanwhile, as missy pointed out, the WDW Haunted Mansion never has Haunted Mansion Holiday, that's only Disneyland.

I believe the Disneyland mansion had some similar updates a while ago (not sure about the staircase scene). they should put up the NBX thing around Halloween or sometime after.

The Haunted Mansion at Tokyo Disney does NBC!
I went to that last year, and if they do it this year, I will go again!
