Haunted Mansion
Written by Suzanne on August 13, 2010We went to Disneyland yesterday. Finally after years of pleading, the kiddo went into the Haunted Mansion. This was a day for celebration because I’ve been a Disneyland park fan since I was a little kiddo and the Haunted Mansion has always held the second place spot as my favorite attraction. First place goes to Pirates of the Caribbean.
On our drive to the “Happiest Place on Earth” I explained to the kiddo and her park guest that Disneyland stands on what was once orange groves. Being the “green” kids that they are, this was a bit upsetting. When we were in line at the Haunted Mansion the conversation about the mansion’s history began.
The kiddo: “I wonder if this is the home of the family that owned the orange groves? Wouldn’t that be weird. Maybe this home was always here but Disney didn’t want to tear it down. He knew it was haunted.”
Me: “Hmm that is a good story.”

I LOVE Pirates in Anaheim…didn’t like the one in Florida. Elise and her kids like Space Mountain best. Second favorite ride for all… California Soaring in California Adventure.

@Jeanette I haven’t been to Disneyworld yet. I’d visit just so I can see my 3rd favorite attraction, The Country Bear Jamboree. I miss that one.

@Chad yes “Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln” they still have that on Main Street. I always like that one. I haven’t been in it for quite awhile.

My favorite ride was Space Mountain, I’ve only bee twice in my life. We also went to California Adventures and that was fun too. The kid talked me into going on that “Tower Of Terror”, I hate free falling!
