I would love to take my daughter on a ride there. Chet, The best way to get a ride in the front of the monorail is to ask one of the monorail employees that load the people on. They are usually pretty good about trying to get you up in the front. We've been to WDW 3 times and we have ridden in the front a couple of times. Usually when it isn't super usy. Your daughter will enjoy the ride. It really is neat up in the front. Good Luck.... Hope you have a good time... Karen Mormino ...

If you want to know RSJ> SA> the story behind why it got that way e-mail me. RSJ>I may not be Lyndsey, but I would love to hear about this story. Okay. Here's more or less The Origins. In The Late 1800's a sea mechant had the mansion constructed for his bride on their wedding day. Only when she moved in to did she discover that the person she loved was really a bloodthristy pirate. He killed her in a fit of rage one night knowing who he truly was. But her ghost came back to haunt him and it drove him mad. He hung himself in the attic underneath the art gallery. Now they "live" there forever trapped in the mansion he built. That's The Haunted Mansion story. The actual story was that Walt wanted a haunted house ride that would fit into his Disneyland plans. The first drafts had the house situated on Main Street all run down looking. But Walt wanted the house to look pristine. One of his top imagineers and The Ghosts could do what they wanted inside to it. It was suppose to be a walk through attraction with a butler and maid showing everyone about while weird stuff went on. A lot of changes took place before the actual mansion was built. Among other things it would be moved to New Orleans Square and the house would now be a mansion. A lot of the special effects couldn't be done in a walk through so it was decided that the omnimovers would take people through the awful abode. The dastardly doings would be in a seperate building underneath the railroad tracks. Madame Leota's Seance Room was devised as part of the mansion in homage to one of their female imagineers Leota Toombs. The face in the crystal ball is her face. --- OLX 2.2 TD I'm in shape ... round's a shape isn't it? * Origin: GE999 BBS * The Anime Resource * 718-961-1764 (1:278/539) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 149 DISNEY Ref: ECF00004 Date: 08/08/97 From: STEVEN ACEVEDO Time: 05:34pm \/To: LYNDSEY WONG (Read 1 times) Subj: Haunted house LW>Hi Steven!

Oh well, we chose to go at that time of year so I expect we'll just have to put up with it, anyway it should be an exiting time and we are looking forward to it just the same :)) Have just picked up an e-mail from WDW informing us of the new arrangements regarding paper tickets, they've gone over to plastic apparently, so it's a case of exchanging them at guest relations for the new version when we get there, also, if we want we can exchange our 4 days left on our original tickets for a 5 day one with all the fringe benefits for a couple of extra $'s.
