I was a DCP at Walt Disney World in 2012 and got to take a few tours of the Haunted Mansion. Not only was it cool to see everything with the lights on, but they told us the true story about the man with the cane. He was an older cast member who liked to play practical jokes on guests and fellow cast members. He timed everything just right so he could hop on and off the doom buggies in the right places, get noticed, and go hide his hat, cape and cane and return as if nothing happened with nobody the wiser. When he retired, he revealed the secret to his cast members and friends.

Because in Walt’s day, most rides were based on recent or fairly recent movies (Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Dumbo). Heck, Sleeping Beauty was still four years from coming out and they based the park centrepiece on it! This is why it doesn’t make sense to me when people complain about the exact same thing being done today.

I’d never heard of Phantom Manor until now and being a major Phantom of the Opera fan it was very exciting to hear about it.

[@vincevdijk7430]

My first visit to Disneyland Paris was in 1995. I worked for 5 years in Disneyland Paris, I had training to be a park guide and have visited it the park and phantom manor tons of times. This is the very first time I hear something about Phantom Manor being inspired or whatsoever on the Phantom of the opera. I think it is a bit of wishful thinking combining/mistaking the name Phantom Manor and Phantom of the Opera because there is not a single piece of reference within the attraction or building itself.

[@queenmedesa]

I love POTO too and Phantom Manor is beautiful ,I wish I could visit it

[@PerryAdolescentelol]

@@vincevdijk7430 The imagineer revealed that the manor was indeed inspired by the Phantom of the Opera during its reopening

[@mollysimpson2335]

@@vincevdijk7430 I'm really sorry about this little essay, I just have way to much time to analyze this media lol. The costume that the phantom wears within the manor is very similar to the Red Death costume the phantom wears in both the book and of course the musical. And while Henry Ravenswood in life is not deformed, he is shown to be a skeleton and a corpse in death (unlike many of the other apparitions in the manor) and that is exactly what Erik is described to look like in the book. He's waxy and thin and has no nose, he basically just looks like a skeleton or a living corpse. Plus the possessive father character who tries to/does kill the love interest of the girl, seems like a really similar comparison to me (though the phantom in Poto is also *in love* with christine). And in the book, Erik asks Christine to choose the scorpion or the grasshopper, scorpion signifying him (Erik) and the Grasshopper signifying freedom. If Christine chooses the grasshopper, he has the entire opera house rigged to blow up, basically if he can't have her, no one can. If I stretch a little bit, that seems sort of similar to the whole thunderbird thing. Let me explain that cause i'm really stretching lol. My thought process on this is that, Melanie has freedom (the grasshopper) because her father is dead due to the thunderbird/mining explosion, and probably a significant amount of people in the town (though if Christine chose the grasshopper, she'd definitely die too) So it kind of echoes the opera house explosion. With her fathers death, her love is killed by the Phantom so even though the guy wasn't taken out directly by the explosion, Henry Ravenswood still managed to kill him like Erik would kill Raoul. Phantom Manor is a heck of a lot more depressing than Poto cause in Poto at least Erik eventually lets Christine go on to live her life. Poor Melanie.

[@jackwimmer2249]

To be honest, I think Walt Disney World’s haunted mansion looks clean and well kept on the outside. As a kid, I had a hard time believing it was the Haunted mansion ride until we went inside (which I now, of course understand that’s what Walt Disney wanted).

Having a relative as an imagineer, I've been going to the Disney parks most of my life. My earliest memory of Disneyland was actually of the stretching gallery in Anaheim's Haunted Mansion. While I've only been to the two in the US, I can say my favorite is in Anaheim (though I've only been on the Orlando one once). The Haunted Mansion in general is my favorite ride of all time and my life goal is to ride every Mansion/Manor ride in the world at least once.

Technically Alien Encounter was in Disney World, but I agree.

The Leota in the ball is voiced by Eleanor Audley (who also voiced Maleficent and Lady Tremaine). Little Leota was voiced by Leota Toombs herself.

There is no Little Leota in this version, rather a Little Sally that takes her place.

[@TehJenness]

They had him do the original narration of the ghost host/phantom, but it was scrapped in favor of a French narrator instead. I have a CD that I bought in 2005 at the Cali park with the original Phantom Manor narration on it and it is EPIC.

[@TherealRNOwwfpooh]

@@TehJenness It's rumored that once the refurb is done (it began in 2018), the Vincent Price narration WILL return to Phantom Manor.

I prefer the Anaheim mansion to the Orlando one but I love Phantom Manor!

[@lovelytt7997]

Amythest ,I've only been to Disney World so I can't even tell which one is better

[@quibblish]

Each one has pros and cons, but I think Anaheim’s is better, too. Phantom Manor is cool too though.

[@SirBlackReeds]

I prefer Orlando because it has more, even if only a little.

[@brian_b_music]

jacoblgames I live in Florida so I visit WDW quite a bit. The Haunted Mansion is my favorite attraction. I hope to get out to Anaheim in the next few years so I can finally go through the original Mansion.

[@angelsinger4574]

Brian B. I’ve been to both, and they are both so much fun. I prefer Anaheim’s, but to each their own.

[@Jmoore.mp3]

Two things. You said that phantom manor has the exsclusive portrait of the woman on the couch but im pretty sure its also in the disneylands mansion. Also in the attic at disneyland no one ever looks to the right when constance is saying her lines but there is baby stuff (stroller and like blocks) makes it so much more mysterious if hatchaway had a kid with one of her many husbands

[@Poizenne]

Yes, the lady werecat is at Disneyland. She was always my favorite of the portraits. She wears a black catsuit while the Paris version seen in the video is wearing white.

[@Jmoore.mp3]

Poizenne thanks for thr clarification, have you ever noticed constances baby stuff?

[@Poizenne]

I haven't been there in several years. Before they changed things. I still remember her heart being lit up and beating loud while she held flowers and a candle. Now apparently she holds an ax and talks. Maybe they added the baby stuff then.

[@Jmoore.mp3]

Poizenne probably lol, i go about twice a year and thats so cool that youve seen the old bride

[@Collorious]

It’s also at WDW too.

[@illusin7507]

I remember riding the Phantom Manor when I was about 8. I was riding with my friend (about 11). And as we reached the graveyard scene the doom-buggy’s “disfunction.” I remember the sound coming over the speakers and being absolutely mortified. Edit: This happened a few years back - so thing may be blurry.

[@s.b.8258]

I would have had a heart attack if that happened to me.

[@PerryAdolescentelol]

As someone who has been to Disneyland Paris so so many times and in this particular ride, I can tell you that it happens a lot (everytime a wheelchaired guest exits the ride)

I’ve been on both Disney world, and Disneyland haunted mansions like a million times each, and tbh the Disneyland one is like waaaayyyyyy better. The theming in Cali is so much better and there are like dozens more hidden things and meanings. Also the outside look of the Disneyland mansion is 10x more memorable than in MK. But legit though the Disney World mansion is not that bad. The audio animatronics in MK are far better that Disneyland and the outside waiting line is pretty fun. But like I said, I personally like Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion best!!

[@SteveCarras]

Agreed..and I live in California...though the WDW HM is even scarier..

[@Heather-Br]

Thanks for going into such detail about what you pass as you tour the house. I rode the attraction as a kid and I remember dad saying that at one point a ghost joined us in the car, and I also remember hearing a piano playing at one point, but being blind there were lots of details I missed. So thanks for the guided tour. You've got a new subscriber who's loving your channel. Great work!!

[@beverlypena4803]

I completely enjoyed this! Learned a lot! My favorite is Orlando's Haunted Mansion.

[@jntproductions1]

So what you're telling me is that there's a KEY TONAL difference between the Haunted Mansions?

[@sashazahradnik2324]

yes, but the one he played for WDW actually plays in disneyland. i cant speak for disney world, but i am entirely certain that the second version played is played in disneyland park:)

[@smalls99a]

This is the best channel to exist on KZbin hands down

[@cheesegavioli]

This video was fantastic! Despite its length, I was interested throughout, and I learned a lot. Thank you for doing so much research for a ride that deserves it!!

[@MouseEats]

LOVE this video! I’m super interested in Disney history and connections between parks/movies/attractions. Would love to see more of these videos talking about different renditions of other Disney attractions all over the world!

[@fiddlelady91]

Phantom Manor's story, music, and visuals are the best imo. I'm a sucker for good stories and theming

[@oliviabradley332]

Phantom Manor is so well done, except for the fact that it's literally 10x as dark inside as the US versions so it's hard to see every detail when you're actually there 🙄 which is the case in a lot of the DLP rides that I never understood while living there - do Europeans have better sight? Also the reclining woman/panther painting in Paris is also in WDW 😊

[@115DELDE]

I have been in Phanto manor all of my life. The ride is dark enough for your eyes to see everything, its just that video cameras cant. If you look at youtube videos, you get the feeling that riders cant see anything, but its not like that. If anything, its like the space mountain "effect". Riders can see everything but the cameras cant.

[@rach_laze]

There's a good theory there but I think it's more the simple fact that Europe is darker in general than America, colder, cloudier etc and we also use dimmer lightbulbs and streetlights (hardly any big lit up billboards and such) so that probably plays a factor so our eyes are more adjusted to the dark, when I go over to America the first couple of days is a bit of an affront to the senses with everything bigger brighter and louder until you adjust and it mellows out, my grandad used to say it's like a floodlight when a candle will do, applying the analogy to the ride you can get more details with the floodlights but the candles make it spookier like there's something missing

[@rach_laze]

If you think this is dark you should watch povs of some of the other rides we have over here 😂 13 or even Hex or Duel at Alton towers, alice in wonderland and Valhalla at pleasure beach or (I think) toad hall at paultons park we like to have the darkness shrouding things in mystery, duel is pretty much a direct comparison to the MIB ride in Florida so a good place to start if you're interested

[@TherealRNOwwfpooh]

The reason that is would be because the rider's eyes can pick up details a camera cannot. As for the darker aspects, the gothic Victorian look of Florida's Mansion is what the local neighborhood cemeteries in Europe generally look like & the plantation Antebellum pristine Mansion in Anaheim doesn't mesh well with European visual culture, so neither of them would be SCARY enough, nor WORTHY enough to be called "Haunted Mansion" in Europe, since Europe (specifically France, Germany & Denmark) is where all of the GRIMM versions of Disney's more saccharine fairy tale adaptions come from!

[@TherealRNOwwfpooh]

@@rach_laze It's not just the atmosphere, though. Yours is where the actual GRIMM Fairy Tales that Disney adapted comes from, so Phantom Manor NEEDED to be SCARIER anyway by default.

[@alexaliona]

[@MrBandnerd007]

What is in the house part of the mansions? I know the ride is underground, but I'd like to see what is in the front door, upstairs, etc.

[@codyt821]

The ride isn't underground, it's housed in a huge show building that sits hidden behind the house facade. You can see it clearly on Google maps if you want to check it out. As far as the house facade, that's all it is, a facade. Nothing is in it besides the queue

[@trickytreyperfected1482]

@@codyt821 I thought the Disneyland version was partially underground because they wouldn't have had enough room above ground to build the entire thing? Then again, I'm not too familiar with the non-Florida parks, so I could be entirely wrong.

[@codyt821]

@@trickytreyperfected1482 nah it's an enormous show building, still pretty cool!

[@TECfan1]

There isn't anything inside the house part. Just the Foyer and Stretch rooms.

[@SteveCarras]

@@trickytreyperfected1482 YOU,,are CORRECT.,that's why the stretching room only briefly goes up, while largely (as an elevator in the living stretching room..LOL) the bottom part sinks..at least one of the foreign mansions does that. Tokyo does the Orlando Mansion (with Cali's Haunted Mansion Holiday re-do)

[@hornet7288]

I prefer the Orlando mansion with its recent addition to the queue and hitch hiking ghost effect. The effect is different but not so much that it takes away from the original feel. The Orlando mansion has a couple of additional scenes which make it slightly longer. The hatbox ghost in Anaheim is awesome and it being original makes it great also. Great video!

[@rbrachmann]

Excellent job. Very through. Just the right length. Much appreciated. I learned a lot.

[@inspiringarrow]

I’ve been on both haunted mansions in the U.S. and phantom manor in Paris. I personally love them each for their own reasons. I love Disneyland because it’s the og and you can feel the love that went into it. For Disney world I love the mansion aesthetic and the the interactive stuff they have for their lines. Phantom manors story is more sad and dark. So honestly I think I love all of them the same because of all of their differences.

[@meganwakefield1872]

I think it would be cool to have a version of the haunted mansion that is a boat ride, like the mansion is flooded or something like that??
