Disneyland random fact: The Haunted Mansion is actually located outside of Disneyland. When you walk through the portrait hall on the way to the "stretching" room, you're really walking under Disney's railroad tracks toward a soundstage-like building outside of the park. The stretching room is really an elevator that takes you underground into this soundstage.

Love your Disney random facts =D - StitchEars  303.4 #593 8:46AM
My grandpa was one of the main contractors for the HM! I love hearing all his stories on how they built it, and the obstacles they went through! - MinnieJ-AnnCM  199.2 #1645 1:57PM

I believe that Indiana Jones is technically out of the park too, right? Is that model above from Walt Disney World. Looks like their Haunted Mansion. - DisneyBride°O°  366.5 #381 8:59AM

Monday! We won't be there for the Halloween party but we will be there during the day. Will you be there? - lesley.belle.  261.8 #898 10:06AM
Is it because no one is allowed to die in Disney and there are a lot of dead things in there!? Ha! - KelcieGrace  51.3 #3731 9:39AM
It truly is amazing how smart they are and how you don't even think of that when you are on it! - AshleyLynn22  747.6 #136 9:42AM
Great info.. Thank you so much - Twinklelashes  144.4 #2378 10:05AM
That's awesome. - keal1205  204.4 #1565 10:08AM
That's so cool, I didn't know that - TheNewTrent  514.6 #229 10:14AM
Is that the haunted mansion in Disney world? Or is it the same for both coz the photo looks like the Disney world one. - maxinerenton  415.1 #311 10:16AM
It is the WDW one - rockstar92  165.6 #2077 10:28AM
I was gonna ask the same thing... I recognized the covered walkway - Disney_lvr  137.3 #2484 10:29AM
It's also true at disneyland. - HotDiggityDogDaddy  1112.2 #74 10:33AM
Except the stretch room at WDW HM isn't an elevator. Tge ceiling just stretches. Other than that, these facts are pretty much the same for both parks. - Nyghtngale  547.8 #204 11:25AM
The difference is that in DL you actually go down in an elevator. In WDW the entrance and ride are on the same level - rockstar92  165.6 #2077 10:48AM
Hahaha, we're #1 with an elevator. Take that other Disney Park. - splashphotoCM  880.9 #101 10:53AM
Haha we are way cooler cause we've got an elevator - rockstar92  165.6 #2077 11:19AM
Awesome picture, thanks - OutNumberedMom  776.2 #126 10:52AM
Cool - BeagleBoy12  167.3 #2047 10:53AM
By in the park, do you mean within the railroad confines, or property. - splashphotoCM  880.9 #101 10:54AM
It's a picture of the Walt Disney world one, I couldnt find a photo like this of ours so I just used this one to show you all an example of what the idea is. It's the same idea at both WDW and Disneyland. - lesley.belle.  261.8 #898 11:04AM
Very interesting, thank you for that fact! - markeymouse  270.9 #817 1:53PM
I believe you are also passing under the Disneyland Railroad tracks too. - Tom  3875.8 #7 11:43AM
