@DizneyGirl Here is a shot of Phantom Manor (Disneyland Paris' Haunted Mansion) from when I was there in 2007. Unfortunately, I don't remember the inside, so I can't tell you how it compares.
Great pic! It does look like the Psycho house! Would love to visit there one day! - goofygal  2358.8 #27 11:39PM

Topic of the Week: Parades & Shows (thanks to CP85) What is your favorite location for watching (or photographing - Indy) Wishes?
Transportation and Ticket Center Ferry Dock. You still get the music for the show there. Not many people go there to watch it at that spot. And you get to see the real size of the pyro bursts. Think anyone who was at the Meet-Up would agree on that. Plus if you're staying at a non MK resort, the busses are right across the plaza. Monorail to the MK resorts are a skip away, or you could walk to the Poly from there. No fighting the exit rush after the fireworks. You're back to your hotel before those poor people in the Hub have even made it out of the park! - IndyandMarion  914.3 #1 11:03AM
The past few trips have been from my balcony at blt, it feels like our own private showing , no crowds it's fantastic:) - tracsant  572.7 #3 7:43AM

Best place by far in MK is at the train station...you CAN NOT beat that spot...you're above the crowd and its perfect for pics of parade and fireworks*+.*+.*+. - CinderellaPrincess85  168.8 #31 12:22PM

Well, unless you lovely MWers can think of a WDW topic I missed, today is the last day of my "Topic of the Week" questions. I hope my fellow obsessive compulsive Disney vacation planners discovered new adventures to add to their WDW itineraries. It was fun & did a great job of helping me pass the time before my next visit (in 50 days). Thank you to everyone who participated!
Great collage!!  I enjoyed the series!!  - mrsincredible  404.4 #5 7:28PM

#RetroDay The topic of gum in the parks has come up before. Just because they don't sell it, doesn't mean people don't chew it. Here's what happens when chewed gum is left on the ground in the Florida sun & the very unDisney-like behavior from my mother that followed! This was in 2004 and still cracks me up! (BTW, she was still a Disney Store CM at the time!)
Lol ... I think that rule at the parks is genius!! Great collage! :) - JessiBelle22  77.9 #55 11:38AM
Too funny! - disneycm  329.0 #12 11:39AM

#RetroDay Here is my mother, myself, and my former boss after getting caught in a terential downpour on Kilimanjaro Safaris in 2004. Everytime our safari vehicle turned a corner, the rain would beat in the side. When it was beating in my boss's side, he made us slide over the other way. When it was coming in my mother's side, he refused to slide back onto the wet seat! She definately got the worst of it!
Great collage! Love your bosses t-shirt! - disneycm  329.0 #12 11:32AM

This evening I came home from a 12-hour work day to discover my pumpkin Poi somehow injured his left eye! It's so sad to see him all squinty eyed. But, my brother will be taking him to the vet first thing in the morning. Needless to say, I'm hoping for a speedy recovery!
Awww..i hope he gets better soon! Lots of pixie dust your way. Goodnight - mickeynme  102.3 #46 11:18PM
That's the worst..when a pet is injured or sick..they can't speak for themselves. And they're like part of the family:-( hope his sight improves - mickeynme  102.3 #46 11:20PM
Thank you everyone for your kind words. UPDATE: They put an eye stain in Poi's eye and found the injury. He has been given something for the pain and an antibiotic. We'll go back for a follow up next week. Poor baby! - CollegeDisneyKnowledgeGrad  395.5 #6 12:46PM

Park of the Week: Animal Kingdom Topic of the Day: Most Overlooked What are your favorite most overlooked attractions & special experiences at the Animal Kingdom?
I think most overlooked is DeVine at AK. And "it's tough to be a bug" I think also that a lot of ppl rush past on their way to everything and they completely miss the animals that are right on the sidelines..lol..armadillos,warthogs,etc,etc - mickeynme  102.3 #46 1:28PM
The gorilla path. We spend like an hour there watching them. - mmddgp  178.2 #29 2:39PM
I agree that when it comes to AK, the most overlooked attractions are the animals themselves! There are so many places to see and learn about animals besides just Kilimanjaro! This is one of those things I want to make the time for on my next visit! - CollegeDisneyKnowledgeGrad  395.5 #6 12:39AM
For myself it would have to be all of it ... Yup every thing in the park.. But that's only because I have never been .. Lol. Someday I'll go and hope I don't over look a single thing. - EdLovesAlvena  134.3 #2532 12:45AM
