Please tell me that wallpaper is available to buy.
Can someone please explain to this “damn foreigner” what the fascination with the Haunted Mansion is?
Old-school Disney campiness, some low-tech charm of high-concept design, atmosphere, imagination… I love it, and Pirates both: the immersive, dark rides that just assault your senses with the experience.
And it doesn’t hurt being exposed to both as a child, and catching big nostalgia every ride. Even as they are updated, they’re a touchstone to a simpler time for me. Way more engrossing than a CG-fest.
From an outsider’s point of view, I just find it weird that Haunted Mansion gets all this love and I don’t see anything similar for any other Disney ride.
It’s a Small World?
They managed to spin a whole multibillion-dollar franchise out of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.
