Former WDW Cast Member and I did a backstage tour of this ride. My favorite fun fact is that in the ballroom, essentially impossible to see on the ride, there's a book of Florida tax laws because the only things certain in life are death and taxes

Me yelling at the screen when Ryan questions Dallin's love for Living With the Land "HAVE YOU NEVER WATCHED ANY OF HIS VIDEOS?!"

Right?
Getting THE singular Haunted Mansion Boy to do this was brilliant. This show is great and FRIGGIN OFFHAND IS HERE ugh I’m so happy
Love Offhand Disney! So glad you’re having Dallin on the podcast (especially on Haunted Mansion)!
Another reason that they have those raven animatronics is because some of them are actually cameras, like the one mentioned in the ride from the attic to the graveyard.
My dad is an Imagineer and there was a period of like a month when I was a kid where we had a Madame Leota mock up head and ball in the back seat of his car when he was coordinating that project.
I am living for Dallin's "the fucking moms from Kansas....." 45:28 Two of my favorite people in one podcast, I am a happy girl!!

He rarely swears in his videos, so I was very pleasantly surprised.
well, now you have to have him back when you get to Living on the Land, if you weren't already planning on it.
HOLY SH*T I LITERALLY YELLED, AS SOON AS YOU GUYS STARTED THIS PODCAST I THOUGHT "man how cool would it be to have Dallin on the podcast - who knows though." AND HERE WE AARREEE
I remember once riding this in Magic Kingdom and the ride stopped for a few minutes as we were looking down on the ballroom scene. It's one of the best places for that to happen as you get to fully look around and see all the different things happening.

Yes! This happened to us when we rode it a bit ago too in Magic Kingdom (FL) and it’s so amazing when you get to take it in. I never noticed the dueling guys coming out of the portraits before because I’d focus on the bottom but when you’re stuck there you get to take it all in! Such a beautiful scene, I wish it went slower around it
Dallin on WATCHER... It's like seeing Laverne & Shirley on Happy Days. Love Offhand! Dallin and Shane are brothers from other mothers.
Didn't expect to see Dallin on here but you can't have a haunted mansion podcast without Mr foolish mortals himself
My youtube worlds are colliding! I rode a doombuggy with Offhand during the Haunted Mansion 50th event and I saw Ryan and Shane live in Philly last year during their tour.
Woah wasn’t expecting to see Offhand around these parts but I’m glad y’all had him on! Haunted Mansion is probably the best, most complete overall attraction in the parks, imo, and I love learning more about it. If y’all haven’t already looked, Offhand has a Halloween video that is about four hours of all of times he has talked about the mansion and it is really a great watch, especially tonight on Halloween. Highly encourage you check his channel out if you haven’t already and like stuff like this!
This is the crossover I never knew I needed 😍 I love both Offhand Disney and Watcher and y’all knocked it out of the park! Dallin was the perfect guest for this attraction.
DALLIN!! YESS!!! The crossover I never saw coming...so hyped for this episode!
NO WAY, LETS GOOOOO DALLIN! Loving this new podcast and Offhand Disney!!
love how ryan also made a “this is like the zapruder film for ___” reference in both watcher podcast episodes this week
Haunted Mansion talk with the expert himself is my favorite Watcher Halloween 2023 anything
Can’t believe my favorite channels are crossing over! Please please PLEASE invite Dallin back when you cover Pirates so we can hear him cover the lore of Jean Lefitte!
Dude! Offhand! I met you in line for Space Mountain earlier this year. This is a fun colab for me.
As someone who doesn't like Disney or amusement parks, hated them actually as a child- it is so pleasant to listen to people deep dive and go into rambling detail about the things they love and enjoy. One of the joys of life, special interests. Love this pod! Keep it up 👍
loved seeing dallin on here! if/when you guys do living with the land, PLEASE bring him back. he’s the perfect contender to fight for it’s honor
Bro seeing you guys nerd out like this is so fucking good, you guys have so much passion for this and I love it
Have the boys thought about how by doing this scorecard they’re also lowkey making a ranking of these rides? I’ll be interested to see what rides end up getting the highest scores
the crossover i would’ve NEVER expected BUT ALSO THE BEST CROSSOVER
Great team-up!
Oh, the PERFECT crossover for this season!!
i went to disneyland recently for halloween and waited almost 2hrs for this ride. it was worth it for the 'nightmare before christmas' decorations and animations and i was only on my phone in queue to take pictures of everything.
OFFHAND DISNEY?!?! I never would've expected this 😭
my absolute favorite collab, i just know i will be rewatching this ALL the time
I am a huge HM fan and visited Tokyo Disneyland this past July. The inside of the Mansion is pretty much identical to MK's original HM. It still has the neon spiders instead of the staircase and the original bride. The outside of the house is a little different, it also has a carriage house.
That “Haunted Mansion was once workshopped to be a water ride” tidbit is just that monster mansion ride from that one Six Flags park. My theory is someone knows that there is creative connective tissue between the two (I don’t remember the details but I wanna say some Imagineers worked with Six Flags) and wherever he got that fact the people who wrote it just overestimated how much the Disney crew brought over to Six Flags with them.
This is an INSANE colab holy shit this is amazing
THIS IS MY ROMAN EMPIRE (good to see you Dallin!!)
Heck yeah! Very smart to have Offhand Disney as a guest for this episode! Please bring him back for more!
This is a Halloween TREAT! My favorite foolish mortals in one episode!!! 👻 Happy Halloween!
Ryan still actively trying to make Twix happen every chance he gets. Love the Enchanted Tiki Room set!
Offhand Disney!!!
I don't even love Haunted Mansion, especially the overlay, but it is ALWAYS on my must-do list because it's just so iconic and nostalgic, and the lore is so rich. One of my first memories of it is going on it when we were the only ones in the stretching room and that just made it more terrifying as a kid 😂
I bet the butterflies in the back were Shane’s idea
It's interesting to me, as someone who loves amusement parks, that I'm not a huge fan of Disney. I don't know if it stems from the fact that as a child in the 80's everything was broken when I visited Disney World. I was 6 or 7 years old when we went for the first time. I only have vague memories. But I remember the stretching room actually being the only part of the Haunted Mansion that freaked me out and it was mainly because it gave me a bit of motion sickness. I remember liking the haunted mansion mainly because it didn't break down. 😂. There were so many rides not working while we were there. The ones that did work broke down. We had to be taken out of the peter pan ride by ladders. And we got stuck multiple times in It's A Small World. Which was the worst ride to get stuck on with that god awful song. We waited forever to ride Space Mountain only to have it shut down just as we were about to get on. As a rollercoaster lover Disney was a disappointment to me. At the time they only had Big Thunder Mountain and Space Mountain neither of which were super impressive. Although not being able to see where you're going in Space Mountain gave it a bit more of an edge. We went back when I was a teenager and I remember thinking everything was either made for little kids or adults I think I was a bit jaded at that point. 🤣 I hope to go back with my nieces someday as they love Disney and have been a few times. We're thinking about planning a west coast trip and hitting up Disneyland this summer.
this podcast makes me so happy. I've always loved theme parks and like rides, but hearing people who know so much talk about it is so interesting 😊
This is a crossover from my dreams!!! Love you guys!
This is the perfect Halloween episode. Thank you
DALLIN! So cool to see him featured!
I would argue that Haunted Mansion passes the Tony Stark Test as it revolutionized the daily capacity of riders on an amusement park ride.
The only ride I went on twice at Disney World, once during the day and once at night during the Not So Scary event. Also went on the Nightmare version at Disneyland. Absolute legend of a ride!
Now I can't wait for the Living With the Land episode
You should have shown an top view of haunted mansion, the mansion we all see is so small, and the rest is a giant warehouse, it’s kind of funny to see
Yay offhand Disney!
Been so excited for this episode! Great to see Offhand Disney on this too! Fantastic!!!
Fun episode, guys!
I used to be so scared of the tombstone jumpers, but then I found out that they only pop up at breaks in the song and it became so much easier to predict.
I’m really enjoying the For Your Amusement podcast!
52:57 LIVING WITH THE LAND IS LITERALLY SO FREAKING GOOD.
awesome episode, no one better to talk about Haunted Mansion with!
OMG OMG!!! YAYAYAY WE LOVE DALLIN!! COULDNT HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH A BETTER COLLAB
You guys feel like you’re in an exam now can’t wait until you have Defunctland as a guest
This is the most wildly unexpected cross over I’m stoked
Definitely not a crossover I expected but am very happy to see!!!
I like that it's allowed to be shockingly dark but also fun and light. The entire ride if you're on it for the first time, you're almost 99% certain you will get murdered until it turns out the ghosts are just drunk 60's beatnik guys with no interest in you.
Thank you Great Pumpkin for this wonderful Halloween treat 🎃✨
I NEED Dallin to come back and fight for Living with the Land
This was such a good episode! Not to be biased cause Haunted Mansion is my favorite but also including Dallian was a perfect addition for this episode.
I have never clicked a video SO FAST, yo! The collab I never knew I needed ❤️
OMG DALLIN!!!!!!!! So excited for this one!!!!
What an insane crossover!!!
OMG can someone sponsor these boys already, I crack up every single time!
Omg best guest ever
ive never been more excited for a podcast
Can't believe no one brought up Monster Mansion at Six Flags when Ryan mentioned the rumor that Haunted Mansion was intended to be a boat ride. It was actually designed by ex-Disney Imagineers, so it feels like a non-canonical version of the Disney ride.
the collab I never expected omg
So psyched to see Dallin on here!
Crossover i never expected but SO happy for it!!!!!
I’m so happy to see more content from Watcher! You guys are all my comfort entertainment. I put it on in the background and rewatch old videos all the time ❤
IM SCREAMING. MY TWO FAVORITE KZread CHANNELS COMBINED????
petition to bring Dallin back to defend Living with the Land please
WHAT A CROSSOVER
this is so clearly a world class attraction
My favorite Disney KZreadr on your show...my day is made.
i remember seeing offhand in the title a month ago and saying “i have to wait to watch this bc this crossover goes too hard” and now here i am. i love this pod
Offhand Disney! Offhand Disney! Offhand Disney! Offhand Disney!
This is my niche - y’all made this just for me 😭
OMG MY TWO FAVORITE CHANNELS COLLABORATING OMGGG!!!!!!!!!!!
Yessssss Offhand Disney!
Note on the moms on phones - keep in mind it’s typically the moms organising everything. Booking the next ride on the Genie +, putting in a mobile order or reserving lunch, etc…it really takes away from the overall experience but that’s the system for now. :/ Also, APH here. HM is my favourite ride but no way I’d wait 60 minutes.
Haunted Mansion has always been my favorite. I have read so much about it. I have tons of collectibles. And, I hope some day to be filthy rich so I can have it reconstructed on some land so that I can live in it!
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED OH MY GOD HOW DID I NOT SEE THIS EARLIER
Haunted Mansion is super fun, and it was especially fun riding it with my definitely-future-theater-kid nephew. He was LIVING in that mansion.
Going through the Haunted Mansion exhibit before Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln and seeing another nod to Greek mythology with Daphne from the story of Daphne and Apollo was an amazing experience
this is MY roman empire
15:23 if u want to see a ride encapsulate that concept look at monster mansion at six flags over georgia. iirc a guy who worked on things like the country bear jamboree was comissioned to help design and build a ride at the beginning of the 80s for six flags to replace their old brer rabbit dark ride. they concocted the theme of a flooded georgia plantation house that has been occupied by monsters in the wake of its abandonment. its the most technically impressive non disney dark ride of the era and it traumatized many a child in the atl area. 107 animatronics, some of which standing 13 feet tall, and they manufactured a unique fur texture that was mold resistant so they could have so many furry characters on a water ride
Offhand Disney!! 🙌🏽 Can't wait for FreshBaked's epidode as well!! 😊
the imagineer who finally pulled off the hatbox ghost effect is daniel joseph!! he worked on it in his garage during his lunch breaks at work!!
this crossover makes my day!
Ok, Offhand Disney guy sounds like he's Shane's little brother or cousin. I keep having to look back at the screen and I'm surprised by not Shane.
As someone who grew up going to Disneyland. I instantly could feel the difference of the stretching room in Florida’s park. And I love that. Also man, I’m bummed Dallin didn’t get to say anything about Jean Lefit. lol
I would 100% buy a little leota for the top of my tree 😂
