Our second home
Originally uploaded by beancounter
We've been back since Monday night, but had to jump right back into the work routine. This morning I am finally uploading some photos from our trip and will share 'em 'round very soon.
I would, however, like to show you a photo of what became our second home at Disneyland - Haunted Mansion. We went on this ride maybe a half a dozen times in the 2 1/2 days we were there. I kept steering BB and Bunny toward it as we walked through New Orleans Square on the way to Frontierland. Or else I would bargain my way in - "I will go with you on Splash Mountain again if you'll swing through Haunted Mansion with me after."
I'm happy to report that Haunted Mansion has undergone almost no changes in the years. It's still as animatronically cheesy as I remember it! Unlike 'Pirates of the Caribbean', which has been almost completely cannibalized and revamped to match the movies. Thank goodness Disney's movie of 'Haunted Mansion' was such a bomb. Otherwise there might have been dreadful animatronic Eddie Murphys staring at me throughout my favorite ride.
Is it true that Orlando Bloom makes a few extra $$ by moonlighting for the POC ride, but that they keep telling him he needs to "act better" in order to be mistaken for a robot?
Or is this a vicious rumor put forward by Keira Knightly's vast and unprincipled legions of admirers?
