PART THIRTY-FIVE- HAUNTED MANSION AND BUZZ LIGHTYEAR'S SPACE RANGER SPIN!
I'm getting towards the end of my MK adventures but there is still a lot more fun to be had in the other parks!
I was always afraid of the Haunted Mansion as a kid. Let's face it, the word "haunted" is enough to derail some kids before they even give it a chance, and this was certainly where I fell. I thought it was a walk through haunted house with jump scares and frights, and no one could convince me otherwise. I finally went on it a few years ago, and I was happily surprised. It was tastefully done and not too scary (well, not at all scary but for children I can still see where some would be scared). Needless to say, I now go on every chance that I get!
A view of the mansion from across the water. You can even see Rapunzel's tower from here!
The mansion from the outside:
The ghost horse! I actually waited at this spot to see it move and had to run to catch up with everyone else in my family!
No detail is too small for Disney! Notice the people in the iron fence?
Some of the animals from the graveyard at the end of the ride. One of these things is not like the other. Can you spot the throwback to a past Disney ride?
The queue line at night. The below is one of my favorite pictures from the trip. I had no idea that this CM stepped in to the photo. So creepy to stumble upon when I was home that he was there and I never knew, but also just made me love Disney that much more. Can you say above and beyond the line of duty?
The new interactive music display! Clicking on the instruments will cause their sounds to play. So cool!
You can play the keys on this organ!
Meow!
This one actually squirts water at you!
One of our favorite rides is Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin. The simplicity of pointing a laser at targets to rack up points, coupled with the fast loading speed (meaning usually shorter lines and wait times), and the Parker competitive spirit makes this a go-to when we are in MK. The photo opportunity towards the end always provides some additional entertainment for us as well.
Getting in line for the ride!
And now for some PhotoPass photos!
Mom and Dad having some intergalactic fun!
Sean was way to into it...
Hand people playing the game haha
Mom and I having fun!
Dad, serious in his shooting...
The night that it was FREEZING out in the parks.
I got to wear my bear hat that my best friend bought me on a ride! I don't know if that was a good thing or bad thing... but I liked it in the moment!
My best impression of the "Dad focus" face on these rides. How did I do?
Buzz thanking us for our assistance in capturing Zurg at the end of the ride!
To Infinity, and BEYOND! See you next time!
