View of the Haunted Mansion facade. |
 |
|
View of Haunted Mansion as you approach the entrance queue. |
 |
| Close up shot of the mansion cupola, and bat weather vane. I assume the vane doesn't spin, since it always seems to point north. |
|
|
Here is a very close view of the weather vane! Note the rivets holding the bat to the arrow, I love this shot! |
 |
| Close up shot of the mansion cupola, and a few of the interesting finials. |
 |
|
Here are lots of roof, chimney, and finial details. |
 |
| This shot of the front door shows the coffin shape of the pillars, and the detail of the large creat over the doorway, |
 |
|
|
|
| Here is an extreme close up of the front dorr pillar. Note the scalloped circle pattern on the front side. |
 |
|
This is a close up shot, which I further enlarged, showing the lion face on the door knocker. I never got a very good shot of the door or wreath. |
 |
| Not a great shot, but it shows the balls beneath the finials at the bottom of the banister. |
 |
|
A view of the conservatory from just outside of the exit canopy. |
 |
| A nice shot of the conservatory, showing lots of detail in the panes, and the ironwork. |
 |
|
A close up,
showing the detail of the i
ronwork, panes, and finial cap. It also shows a hint of the glass detail of the upper left window.  |
|
| Detail of an urn. |
 |
|
A cool shot of the sun shining through the roof, and out the shadowed back. This shot was taken just outside of the exit archway. |
 |
| Close up detail of the frosted, pebbled surface of the conservatory windows. |
 |
|
A close up shot of the eastern-facing dormer window. Great masonary detail, and note the interesting emblems on the tops of the rain spouts. |
 |
| An ornate Disney "D" is on each spout. I also like the brackets which hold the drains to the walls. |
 |
|
Details of the small windows, above the conservatory. |
 |
| A close up of one of the obelisk finials, which crown the eastern facade, above the conservatory.. |
 |
|
More close ups of finials, and a surprising peek at a usually unseen element. I believe it's the top of a ladder (circled), mounted at the rear of the facade, to gain access to the roof. |
 |
| The familiar plaque at the front of the ride entrance gates. |
 |
|
A rarely found close up of the demon head on the plaque. Another favorite! Could make for a cool desktop image. |
 |
| Another rarely found close up of the bottom skull on the plaque. How cool is that? Another desktop image? |
 |
|
The gates to the entrance queue. The plaque can be seen on the center brick pillar. <

 |
| The main entrance gate. |
 |
|
The wait time, fastpass clock, well roof, and mansion. |
 |
| The Fastpass Return clock. |
 |
|
The entrance queue canopy, leading to the "portico", "colonnade" and mansion entrance. Seen from the river side. |
 |
| Close up of one of the queue lamps. Cool details. |
 |
|
The entrance queue canopy, from the upset fountain. |
 |
| A view of the portico, from near the riverboat dock. |
 |
|
A close up of the portico details. Note the tombstone from the cemetery, through the opening. |
 |
| A view from just outside of the portico turnstiles. The cemetery is straight ahead, but washed out from the bright sunlight. Note the blue light fixture embedded over the turnstiles. |
 |
|
Here the colonnade curves around to the mansion entrance doors. |
 |
| The colonnade leads to the open mansion entrance. Leota's tombstone can be seen on the far left. |
 |
|
Details of the colonnade columns. |
 |
| The colonnade connects just beneath the western end of the mansion's front "patio". |
 |
|
This shot gives a better bearing of where the entrance door is located in relation to the patio, and facade. |
 |
| The closed doors of the Haunted Mansion. Hmm, it's a little lonely here! |
 |
|
Looking into the opened doors of the Haunted Mansion. this area is directly under the front patio. I boosted the image brightness, to reveal the dark interior better. |
 |
| An interesting shot. I held the camera out over Leota's stone, and snapped this. |
 |
|
Leota is having a look to see who was disturbing her. |
 |
| Looking past Leota's tombstone, through the fence, to see a tiny bit of the ride warehouse. |
 |
|
A close up of the ride warehouse behind Leota. |
 |
| The hallway leading out of the ride. (Brightened to show detail) |
 |
|
The exit doors. |
 |
| The cast member entrance. |
 |
|
The rear entrance. Here a tour group is being allowed to enter with a guide. The last gu
y was told to be sure no one followed him in! Yes, I considered it! |
 |
| The exit doors, and archway, seen from the outside. |
 |
|
The crest above the exit archway. Also visible is part of the ride warehouse, crypts (on the right), and the rear of the mansion facade. |
 |
One of the lighting fixtures in the crypt area. |
 |
|
Another view of the exit area. More of the warehouse can be seen in the middle of the shot, just above the ball finials of the crypt. |
 |
| A crypt. |
 |
|
A view of the crypt area from outside of the exit gate. |
 |
| The brick pillars of the exit gate. |

Looking through the exit gate of the attraction, towards the well. |
