Is the new bride better? Is the new bride RIGHT?

The original Haunted Mansion is back for the first time since August of 2023. Excitement is high for its return, but even more so because something new is happening inside the mansion.
There is a new bride in the attic. A new bride, and a new story.
There is some controversy though. Some Disney fans don't like change. What's the verdict today from the Haunted Mansion? Is the new bride better? Is the new bride right?
We'll show you everything new that's happening inside this legendary attraction as well as give you our thoughts on its quality and its place in the history of one of the most beloved attractions in the history of Disneyland.

Hey Everyone,I'm Actually The Cast Member Mentioned In The Episode Greeting David @ The Haunted Mansion 😅 & I 100% Absolutely Agree With Everyone Here That David Is A Disney Parks Celebrity.As For The Changes In The Mansion The Bride Is Definitely The Main Focus (She Still Has The Name Constance *But Probably A Different Last Name*) Reverting Her Back To The Beating Heart Bride (Making Her Similar To The Opening Day Bride *Like David Mentioned In The Video 😅👍*).Besides The Bride, There Were Some Other Little Changes That Were Made,The Hitchhiking Ghosts At The Very End (The One's That Appear In Your Doom Buggy) Are Actually Digital Recreations Of The Original Animatronics (Which I Was Genuinely Scared We Were Getting The Same Update That WDW Got A Few Years Ago).We Also Received Small Little Elements In The Graveyard Scene,Like David Noticed In The Video The Imagineers Took Out The Wraith Silhouette (Or Von Ginger,Who Was Referenced In A Gingerbread House In The Holiday Overlay In 2023) & Replaced With A Floating Candelabra,Along With That We Also Got Some New Fog Projections & Ghostly Projections.I DID Read The Comments Of Possibly The Lights Showing The Ballroom Dancers Was Slightly Brighter,The Imagineers Possibly Changed The Lights (I'm Not Sure About That). Anyway,I Didn't Think I Would Leave A Decent Impact In The Comments & I Genuinely Didn't Realize David Was Filming Me Until Later 😅.This Was An Awesome Thing To See,Today Was Actually My First Time Doing Classic Mansion & I Was A Little Nervous So Seeing David Boosted My Confidence A Bit.

[@NateDohDoubleGee]

Usually I dislike when Disney changes the stories in any way on the older rides, but this is one of just a few exceptions. The creepy heartbeat throwback is a great choice! The effect of the bride is fantastic and the more open story of leaving the husbands deaths unknown allows room for the guests to speculate what could have happened to all of them. It's been a while since they've nailed something, but in my opinion they got this one right.

[@partymonkeyonetsy4854]

I really like that they carried the candelabra throughout the ride!

[@Keyblader001]

I remember the beating heart aspect of the bride used to really creep me out as a kid, when you make that transition from the ballroom to the attic, and you hear that heartbeat, it really is unnerving.

[@2doot]

"David, nice to see you" said in the same monotone delivery as gim ushering in guests absolutely sent me lmfao. Homeboy had to get that in but committed to the craft, we stan.

[@hanonondricek411]

In Florida the very first room you ride through before the portrait gallery has a staircase above and it's easy to miss if you don't look up immediately, but there's a floating candelabra up there also. I love the concept that the bride is following you throughout but only her candles are visible.

[@jamessbca]

Great video. I had about a 12 year lapse between Disneyland visits years ago. When I returned after the long hiatus, when going on the Haunted Mansion, I instantly thought... "uh... yeah... that stretching room ceiling scene at the end can't be around for much longer...." Times change...

[@SnapesHoney2800]

I think she looks great! Her effect is light years better than Constance. And the fact that they included the one eyed cat as part of her scene is amazing!❤😊

[@ryanlastname]

HAUNTED MANSION THEORY: The new bride is technically a victim but a victim of revenge. The one-eyed cat always follows her around and her grooms always end up meeting a fate, leaving her alone and forgotten until we see her. Who else probably had one eye? Captain Gore! This is Priscilla (although her name is still Constance)!! But in this story she outlives the captain and is cursed by his past! If we all come together to believe a story it technically comes true let's make something like this happen!

[@dfall3n1]

Freshbaked, you going to ignore the fact that Disney brought back a 50+ year old concept to life? Look next to the bride. The ONE-EYED CAT is real!

[@bryancjann]

being 51 i grew up with the heart beat bride and then saw the change I was even at the hm evet where. they had the bride and groom on the outside balcony during the event. I love they brought the new bride back which has the feel of the old bride

[@ensm2121]

I like how her story is back to being ambiguous, just like the original. Her grooms are missing -- is she a victim of bad luck, or did she off them herself? Maybe it's like Phantom Manor where someone (maybe the HBG) stopped her from ever marrying?? Everyone can make up their own story

[@McCracken257]

I am glad to hear that some parts of the bride is physical and still using peppers ghosts and project mapping. So far none of the videos or photos have impressed me. But I am excited to see it in person. I like that they brought back the beating heart and that they added the one eyed cat. I am sad to see the axe go tho. I did like that part. I will be sad when they take out the ghost host from the stretching room. That is one of my favorite parts.

[@Brian-12345]

In all the videos I’ve seen, the new bride looks very flat and projection-based. I agree it looks disappointing as captured on 2D video. It’s encouraging to hear there’s a combination of physical layers and projection giving it depth. Can’t wait to see it in person!

[@GangaKris]

I am so happy with this change. I've always loved Beating Heart Bride more than Constance Hatchway. And thank you for pointing out that those portraits changed. It was so subtle that I didn't notice it in some of the other ride through videos I watched today.

[@anthonypecorara]

Been waiting all day to hear your thoughts!

[@musickrayz]

Clicked on this video so FAST!! I have been waiting so impatiently for this one!

[@marybishop8979]

That beating heart and scary bride (and the jumping ghouls)made the attic so scary for me since '69. I'm glad to see her back and now she's beautiful.

[@Delaney-and-the-Starlight]

Also having the husbands keep disappearing and her with the candelabra feel like the best part of Phantom Manor becoming part of the Haunted Mansion! And her sadness also remind me of Melanie!

[@ellisrgreen]

Adventureland treehouse, the space mountain blue light tunnel, a new beating-heart bride... Disneyland is healing. Now go fix the Peoplemover!

[@jaysonpida5379]

The new, beating heart bride is great !!! The 'nightmare' overlay is wonderful, but nothing beats the 'original'.... With the new que, Disneyland hit another 'home run' !!!!!

[@LL-bl8hd]

The new queue is great 👍

[@paulhawkins95]

Overall I like the changes. The bride change doesn't bother me and I think the revised effect is great. The story changes are good and most people won't know the story has actually changed. Looking forward to hopefully see it in person this spring.

[@cvcjr13]

It's fantastic to see the new version of the beating heart bride, and the beating heart bride is back. I'm glad the hanging ghost host remains. I'm glad Rolly Crump's bat cage is still in the hallway. I'm glad the hitchhiking ghosts are not chintzy projections like they have in WDW. I didn't see Rolly Crump's Candleman in the attic. . Ah. . .

[@Doktor_Calamari]

The Marc Davis dark humor in me loved the axe murderess, but I'm intrigued by the overlaid technologies in the new bride. By the way, her name is still Constance; the last photo frame has a nameplate at the top identifying Constance and her husband Reginald.

[@MonsterKidCory]

Disney is hard at work to erase everything Marc Davis ever did 😆

[@engagexkujo]

Always fun seeing you in the parks David! Fun seeing the video after the fact.

[@Ceelle2]

The "new" bride is spookier. I like her better.

[@LightofLucifer-m8q]

She doesn't say much, she just stands there....MENACINGLY!

[@greatwesternsky]

Agreed... Constance was cool, but there was no mystery. It was too in your face and obvious.

[@HOTD108_]

​@@LightofLucifer-m8q Less is more.

[@BAGOMS]

honestly the beating heart bride is better, i hated the bad projector bride they have had it always looked terrible, it feels like more peopel are upset because they dont want change not because its bad

[@mikaelacash3791]

I agree. The complaints are because of nostalgia. I will very much miss Constance, but the heartbeat ghost is far better in regards to visuals.

[@2ndchannel-r7c]

It’s ironic because it’s more accurate to the original version

[@ari3lz3pp]

The projector one looked way better IMO, they could've updated her easily also. I do miss the one with beating heart BEFORE both of these personally even though she was outdated technologically. This one's face also is strange and not in some eerie sense but like she's fake. They were trying to put it back to a place that was more eerie by way of sadness and some sympathy perhaps for the Bride or empathy, and the old heart...while giving an updated feel but to me it doesn't do well either way. The only good thing is that we have a tie in to the first hallway scene with the floating candles ... something that isn't very scary or impressive to today's children in a world of personal drone toys, KZbin "behind the scenes" etc.

[@ari3lz3pp]

It is and isn't. The older version before the projector was the most beautiful even though she didn't look real...this one ironically looks the most fake out of all three. I liked the idea they were going for a more "wistfully sad" story where she's a victim again and yet I'm too distracted by how awful it looks. Idk why other countries and even Florida get such better animatronics as a whole.....

[@jaysonpida5379]

@ari.... This new 'bride' scene is far, far better.

[@charlotte68]

Took a ride tonight. A definite upgrade from Constance, but will never be as good or scary as the one I knew as a kid. I thought Constance was campy. This bride has a somber aura that makes me remember the older brides.

[@nilo70]

Paul Frees voice is THE voice of Haunted Mansion !

[@OGamerGirl92]

Honestly my only complaint is that they didn't make her an animatronic. That's it. The heart beat bride was always the original bride constance didn't flow with the story or make sense, that's why I hated constance hatchaway. I'm happy the old bride is back

[@potato1094]

She looks more ethereal as a projection, which i am liking

[@ari3lz3pp]

The old Bride isn't back......the one before the hatchet Bride was the best thematically IMO and they should've done better justice to her in this attempt but this is a cheap knockoff. Looks like the original (or second? From before Hatchet) got botched plastic surgery and bad rave make up. Nothing very classic or graceful about it...two qualities the original had that I think we're missing here.

[@Pluckee13]

Saw the bride today and it looked great. Another thing I noticed but maybe it’s been a year since i rode it but the hitchhiking ghosts in the mirror looked different. They looked digital rather than practical. Anybody else thinks too?

[@madnesscm]

You know you've made it at DL when cast members greet you by name ❤

[@Johnnyblaze8219]

The Mansion, in my opinion has never looked better. With all the additions they have done to the Mansion since reopening Disneyland in 2021, and with the new queue, plus the new Bride. Everything looks great.

[@FreshBakedWDWLaramie]

Is it the camera, or do the ballroom ghosts seem brighter?

[@ryan7032]

Many channels have been commenting on that so I think it's probably brighter or at least the Nightmare overlay had it darker. Edit: they probably just replaced the bulbs during the update.

[@orangeoliver]

@@ryan7032 Most likely. Easier than closing it at a later date to replace the bulbs and lights, than doing it while taking out the xmas junk. (HMH disliker here)

[@JReed305]

They are brighter, my wife and I both thought so when we rode it this morning.

[@michaelsullivan3581]

Definitely. Everything about the ballroom scene looks refreshed!

[@PhoenixVic21]

You even have the one eyed cat. The heartbeat is back, which I love. She just looks great! Has the Candleman appeared?

[@QuatroAtYale]

Excellent video and commentary. And the Haunted Mansion looks fantastic, especially with the upgrades. Of course, the story has changed. Constance went home with someone... appropriate. This is cool. I'd love to see and analysis of WHY they have the lighting lane with the flow through that you were showing. And in the background, you can see some of Disney's younger customers finding that an iron railing is also entertaining.

[@Nevarez23]

I hope she looks better in person than on camera, because she seems very inanimate (aside from the heartbeat) and expressionless from videos I've seen so far.

[@PhoenixVic21]

I agree, but it also gives that ghost or sad and mournful staring into nothing

[@Cymorill8]

So excited to go this Tuesday! Due to my work schedule, I haven’t seen the original HM since pre-Covid, only the holiday overlay!

[@jarredslozer7863]

The only changed parts u left out was the one eye cat next to the bride, the updated projections in the graveyard sky, the crypt mirrors and the return of the man eating bat

[@Brian-12345]

It looks like they improved the cloud projections in the loading area, ballroom window, and graveyard. And I think I see subtle lighting improvements throughout.

[@rjkral]

Where is the man eating bat?

[@jarredslozer7863]

@@rjkral they moved him from the endless hallway from 2023 to the corridor of doors after the coffin

[@C_Los808]

OG Haunted Mansion still awsome!

[@commandosolo1266]

"Does she have a name?" Well, the reason we have a ghostly bride in the first place is the immortal "Miss Havisham" from Dickens' Great Expectations. The creators of the Mansion showed the influence of recent gothic films like The Haunting of Hill House's knocking doors, and certainly Lean's 1946 Havisham dies a memorable death. So with the wicked "Constance Hatchaway" exorcised from our benevolent ghosts' retirement home, I think "Miss Havisham" will do. Might tempt the youngsters to read the novel. In that vein, wouldn't it be nice for other classic figures like Carmilla, Erik, and the Weird Sisters to find a home in the mansion?

[@scottdial.45]

Thanks David for getting this video out so fast! We LOVE the new bride!!

[@brandonbabbitt6353]

Looks a lot better than what we got with Constance. IMHO a true return to form. My dad and I are huge fans. Ronnie and Melodie say hi.

[@2doot]

If they REALLY wanted to double down on the candelabra bit, and the idea shes following you, i think having the chance of a candelabra follwing you home in the mirror could have been a good option. Or even if like, it flickers in and out of view while you're looking at the hitchhiking ghosts. Assuming that Mini Leota is the same bride, it would also make sense for her to be the last thing you see (even if the dialigue kind of shatters my theory.) I don't think the silent stalker story for the bride is a bad idea and i think actually having her silent in the attic adds to this because it makes her motives unclear, its up to you to decide if her following is benevolent. I think that's well creepy, but it needs to be fleshed out to work imo. The idea of something silently stalking you and you don't know ehat their intentions are is a genuinely spooky idea.

[@EvilPun]

I think it's cool they returned to the beating heart bride. She always had a deeper air of mystery to her than Constance did which led to more theories and speculation. That speculation even led to a removed stanchion becoming a piece of lore of the WDW mansion by looking like a discarded ring so in a small way the fans got to contribute to the story.

[@madnesscm]

And I LOVE the return of the beating heart bride. It scared the crap out of my sister as kids. Can't wait to tell her she's back 😂

[@miguelrobles1771]

Does anyone else see the random captions for each section of the video?

[@teamwhelan905]

Thank you for the video and commentary. You always seem to have insightful info.

[@dfchang813]

Thanks for taking a pic with my daughter after. You made our day!! 😂

[@srayj]

While the Constance figure never quite worked immersion wise given her projection face, I actually liked the black widow angle as opposed to this more ambiguous version. But, I want to see it in person because I’m assuming it’s better while on the ride than a video can capture.

[@JReed305]

We were there today, 1-18-25, and rode it. So nice to see it back to classic Mansion! The new bride was cool and I thought it was a nice update.

[@GeriMars]

I hope Disney DOESN'T remove the hanging Ghost Host. He's essential to the story. Btw, the Follow-You-Home Ghosts in the mirrors look different to me. Did Disney remove the ghosty-go-'round for cheaper, flatter, 2-D tech?

[@DrewLonmyPillow]

23:38 I thought one of the other changes we're getting is that Nightmare overlay doesn't begin until after Halloween? So we should have at least 10 months of classic Mansion.

[@gr33ngirlsea]

Supposedly, it was a "typo"

[@LauriCarlson-ld9gq]

New bride is much better in my opinion

[@sindoreipony]

New bride seems a combination of all the other brides to me, she has the beating heart effect of the Heart Beat Bride, Constance's wedding portraits have been updated for her story, and she has the candlestick and is possibly following us through the mansion like Melanie in Phantom Manor.

[@alextirrellRI]

The original bride did have a candle as well.

[@JAMESinWonderland]

I wish they’d just give the bride her own animatronic already. She used to have an animatronic then it got “updated” to the Constance Hathaway projection on a mannequin body. And now we have the new “updated” bride which is ALL projection, and the storyline of Constance Hathaway is gone..

[@Chuck_Stanley]

Prior to 2006, there was no story of Constance Hatchaway. This update returns the Haunted Mansion to its original story.

[@2doot]

​​@@Chuck_Stanleythe story isn't the issue that OP is pointing out. The point is that the issue most people had with Constance was the poor projecting, so to double down on projections seems like an odd choice when the previous bride was a full figure, was well received, fit the theme, and was appropriately spooky. This bride is based off of that one, but it's a situation of fixing something that isn't broken. or fixing a problem with a problem, rather, when many fans have expressed for nearly two decades how they just wish to have an animatronic figure back in the attic as the bride. Constance was a hot mess, but at the very least, she brought in the significance of storytelling. This bride has the problems of Constance's boring projections but without the benefit of lore. Imagineers said that the change was made because Constance was out of date, which is true, but replacing her with YET ANOTHER projection effect that will look painfully dated again in another 5 years seems silly, as opposed to an animatronic that has proven to be timeless.

[@RetroFett]

SO... it's all a digital projection now, and there was no upgrade to the finale "ghosts will follow you home" mirror scene as had been rumored. BUT... there is a new floating candleabra in the graveyard crypt, so I guess that's nice (?)

[@mikebentz3048]

Is it just me or do you hear the beating heart more on the ride?

[@michaelsullivan3581]

They have done a fabulous job on the Mansion! Everything seems to have been touched up! Question: Did anyone see "The Candle Man" anywhere? I looked intently and simply could not spot hide ner hair of him!

[@tylerpeerson]

We got two kittens in April of 2023, we named them madame Leota, and Constance hatchaway. We call them Leo and Connie.

[@brentwilliamson9594]

I was hoping they would lean more into capital Gor. That way they could tie pirates to it. But it’s cool to change it up

[@eticketdream]

So it looks like that’s the phantom playing the piano I learned about the story through park pass! It might be the Bride from Disneyland Paris! So the story is she keeps getting married and the Phantom kills them on the wedding night! That’s why she is sad and her heart beating!

[@Delaney-and-the-Starlight]

The bride definitely isn’t as bad as it was! I still think no face was creepier, but I love the heart! And the hovering! And the candelabra! I really like having the heartbeat back! IT ADDS SO MUCH!! She’s actually a bit creepy! Yet so beautiful too!!! And I love that!

[@ttintagel]

She looks like a flat 2D projection jn the video - does she look more 3D in person? Anyway, I LOVE that she's retuned to being a more mysterious figure like the original beating heart bride.

[@richardb7999]

WHY would they ever get rid of the hanging Ghost Host??? What are they worried about offending some guests or something?

[@LadyChristmas69]

I came here to say that I am happy the Hanging Ghost Host was not removed. As far as the bride, I am in 100% agreement this is great. As being a kid who saw the original beating heart bride, this is a great change. I hope we keep the O.G. Haunted Mansion this year, HMH overlay can wait until 2026! Hello From Phoenix Arizona 🌡 🔥

[@ryan7032]

I personally like the new bride (although the face bugs me a bit) but I'm not a fan of the new hitchhiking ghosts. The animation is too simple to distract you from the fact that they're flat, I kinda wish they did a bit more like maybe a glow effect around the doombuggies too. Also I'm gonna miss the Von Ginger ghost that was replaced by the candelabra. There used to be two of those silk ghosts (one also in the seance room) but I guess now they're just both gone.

Love that they brought the beating heart bride back. But seeing the reflection image(s) below the main part of the effect is a real let down, they need to hide that much better than they are in going by how the video shows it in every shot I've seen from various channels. Also hearing "Davice, nice to see you." was awesome! The FreshBaked! effect eh?

[@Teletran35]

Wow, she has a lot more detail. Imo having a red heart makes it more obvious that she is passionate. I like it. 👍👍

[@ari3lz3pp]

She had a better red heart before this .......before the last one (before hatchet murderess) ...it was better. This one it's more blotchy looking from the videos and it looks like they took the original but sent her to a terrible black light rave party where she got botched plastic surgery.

[@Folap]

Kind of reminds me of the library ghost from Ghostbusters. Not sure why.

[@deborahperez2312]

I was so excited to ride classic haunted house today.

[@DeadPhoenix9065]

I wonder if Disney World's Liberty Square Mansion will change the story or just given an updated "black widow bride." If they update just the figure, each park would have a unique bride, excluding Tokyo liberty square. It could also alude to why the Hat Box Ghost is not in the attic story wise at the Liberty Square Mansion.

[@Lanceawright]

Thanks for this... Make me homesick, why don't you!?

[@evnkas]

It looks all so great! Lots of new lighting effects in the graveyard also. New bride looks amazing.

[@indyjones3093]

My only creedence with the new bride is that she should be more mobile. I know none of the previous brides moved, but I feel like Disney missed the opportunity to have her 'float' about to match the movements of the floating candleabra. If you know how the Lumier animatronic works in WDW, then you can probably see where I'm getting at; have her float about and maybe even look around in search of her husbands. As for the potential fate of the hanging Ghost Host, the only acceptable change I could see them going is having it be the *actual* ghost of the Ghost Host holding the noose, similar to the Phantom in Phantom Manor.

[@scotnca]

Looks fantastic but they really didn't change the hitchhikers

[@ainsleyperry5192]

FreshBaked. David, as we all know a Bride alway's looks beautiful on her big day. I for one wish we got to see her for a few more seconds as we wizz past. It's nice to see our new bride has more in common with the original bride. I'm sure with this new bride and the effects, the Imagineers only had to give us a few crumbs off their table. At night has the effect come back of the bride going from room to room with her candlelabra to light the rooms? I know some sites have complained about this bride but they were the same ones who complained about the previous bride and the poor projections used. Sometimes all people want to do is have moan no matter how good the new bride is. Now can the Imagineers get over and fix Tiana who in the very last scene she's been frozen from the waist down for the last month. Cheers, Chris Perry.

[@chuckoneill2023]

My personal feeling is that, apart from the technology, the Constance character was a bad rewrite of the original story. I think it's nice that they've pulled back on that. If only we could get a GOOD Haunted Mansion movie. How many have there been, now? Three? Four (including The Muppets)?

[@SultanofDox]

Don’t you think they should have used the “Frozen Journey” tech at Disney seas for the bride?

The tech used in Disney parks outside of the U.S belongs to the company’s over seas, they’re just franchises of Disney overseas, and Tokyos known for better technology but they refuse to share, sighting that Disney wants to control them and force several rides to close

....They use that tech in Florida USA also....why are we always left out in CA? (Tiana's was okay but still not quite up to snuff IMO as far as s the whole journey goes, )but the first animatronics to keep up .....they should've been able to do so with the Bride. This one looks like she has botched plastic surgery LOL

The new bride looks awesome. I can’t wait to see it in person.

I thought the effect was awesome. I am ok with the change but not sure I will be ok if they change the stretching room, but yeah I get it. Now just leave it as is. They don’t need the holiday overlay.

If they’re listening to us and our wanting classic Disneyland… WE WANTS THE RED-HEAD!

Your camera pixelized around the floating candle holder in the hall wall, did that change to a projection? Don’t remember seeing a camera do that there before.
