New Haunted Mansion Hitchhiking Ghosts Animated Mirror Effects plus Bonus: Brides Ring & More – Photos and Video

Hi everyone!

We paid a visit to the Haunted Mansion today (below, left) as soon as we heard that the new Hitchhiking Ghosts mirror effect was working! Walking through the queue to check out the new tombstone that had been added about a week ago, we were also pointed to another new addition. In reference to the “Bride’s Ring” that used to be in the pavement near the front of the queue (not really the Bride’s Ring, but everyone liked to say it), there is now really a ring – engagement ring – in the pavement of the interactive queue.

Mickey’s Birthdayland – A Look Back at Mickey’s Birthdayland Express and Duckburg as Mickey’s Toontown Fair Closes Today – Vintage Photos and Video

The Walt Disney World Railroad (renamed Mickey’s Birthdayland Express) had a catchy song, and a “Happy Birthday Mickey” sign on the front of the train (below, right).
