By criticizing that, you're also criticizing the other characters that use digital projectors to create their faces (the Leotas, the Busts, etc.).<br /><br />The Hatbox Ghost is not coming back, so get used to it.<br /><br />Your merchandise work is great, Kevin, but your attitude towards Disney's newer endeavors stinks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-81212241734111172102009-08-10T11:19:48.018-07:002009-08-10T11:19:48.018-07:00That is indeed construction of the backstage build...That is indeed construction of the backstage building now housing the Mansion attraction. I can recall the Mansion being open to employees prior to the general public for a couple days (this could be the reason why there is some confusion over its opening). In my particular case, small groups of us went over on a long break, in costume, to see it. I was in foods at Hill's Bros. There was A LOT of excitement. We even had our own Mansion party after hours.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-65947155895801480752009-08-10T07:24:26.269-07:002009-08-10T07:24:26.269-07:00LOL @ K.K.LOL @ K.K.Katella Gatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05562521359201308834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-23641545258787721442009-08-09T19:21:24.041-07:002009-08-09T19:21:24.041-07:00Kevin - That is the best (and funniest) descriptio...Kevin - That is the best (and funniest) description of Constance that i have heard!Davelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10720475138513029144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-59058350419568120362009-08-09T18:16:34.710-07:002009-08-09T18:16:34.710-07:00Wonderful post, Dave.

Chris - I'm not sure how many brides there were, but agree that the current one sticks out like a very sore thumb. Leota belongs sitting on the table...too distracting when she is floating!

Although it seems like there are a couple extra words in there before the "Hurry back" part that I can't make out. Question...why did they remove the eyeballs of the hitchhiking ghost on the far left? They have been missing for years now, but I always notice it. <br /><br />Thanks for the comment on my post today, Dave. I agree with you about both brides, but the current one REALLY misses the mark. Was there only one additional version before those two or have there been even more? Oh, and I only like the "floating Leota head" when you can't see the wires....which is almost never!TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-89614657774741480762009-08-09T08:30:31.433-07:002009-08-09T08:30:31.433-07:00Dave,
