    Disney better be careful. Their obsession with being sensitive to every single person on this planet will eventually cause them to tell nothing but boring watered down stories. The Haunted Mansion is the most beloved attraction of all time LEAVE IT ALONE

    I have existential OCD involving death. When my wife and kids were at the parks a couple of weeks ago and wanted to ride haunted mansion, guess what I did…… I didn’t ride it. If you know your triggers, don’t jump on a ride or experience and expect to be catered.

    Haunted Mansion is literally a ride about deaths and ghosts, why are people getting so sensitive when it's a haunted house ride for crying out loud. Plus the hanging corpse is literally part of the story of the attraction.

    It's literally called the HAUNTED MANSION why are people so damn sensitive. the ride is basically a hybrid ride from 2 legendary imagineers that wanted it to be scary and fun. The ride has a bride that kills all her rich husbands with an axe. Why doesn't nobody complain about her? Or how about madam Leota she does seance and back story has voodoo, which a reminder people, this is why the shadow man wasn't added in Tiana's bayou adventure. why isn't she being replaced? at this point just call it the lonely mansion or ghost retirement mansion. The stretching room is one of the most iconic parts of the ride and they want to change it. All I know is the HM fans are EXTREMELY vocal if they don't like it they will say something about it.

    Small correction; Leota’s official backstory has nothing to do with Vodou, she was either: a Romani medium who lived in New Orleans (Disneyland + most likely to be canon) or a witch who lived in Salem during the witch trials (WDW). Neither backstory given implies that she practiced the religion, her only ties to it being where she lived depending on the backstory you chose to go with.

    The position needs to be entirely removed permanently. Jobs like that inevitably result in over corrections because they HAVE to justify their existence. The boss is NOT going to pay you if you spent an entire year telling him, "damn you guys are amazing! Not a single thing offensive in sight!" "So what you are saying is we don't need your services?" Yeah they WILL find things to be 'offended' by simply by existing as a job.

The Disney folks seem to want to get as close to PG theming, as possible, because they think their guests are so immature, they are unable to handle anything. Sadly, Epic Universe is going to put Disney World to shame.

    As someone who’s dealt with suicidal thoughts for the majority of my life, I’ve always loved the line, “how do you escape a room with no windows and no doors? There’s always my way.” And then showing the hanging corpse as his way out because it felt so validating and cathartic, as that’s how I feel about life and seeing suicide as the only way out sometimes and it comforted me because of that.

Disney is really going downhill now. I’m going back to WDW in December but not been since 2017 and so much has changed in a bad way, including them changing the welcome speech for the fireworks because ‘ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls’ isn’t inclusive enough, like seriously people getting offended over a saying that’s been said for probably hundreds of years (not just in Disney) so Disney removes it 🙄

During the Haunted Mansion Holiday, that tarp and projection is one of the most incongruous elements in the ride. It totally pulls me out of it. Better for them to do a pepper's ghost creepy face looking down on everyone or something. And I actually hate the updated hitchhiking ghosts at Walt Disney World. It looks soooo fake compared to the pepper's ghost effect. So this is disappointing.

They could put a sign out front that says something about a character having committed suicide via hanging, however, it is not a graphic depiction since the hanged person is seen from a distance & offer a "Guest's discretion is advised." type of warning.

I'm not a shopper but might be willing to spend more money if I don't have to carry my packages all over the park all day (hint, hint). Give me decent size parades, characters, and street performers to interact with. E ticket attractions are fun but costly and involve construction. Hidden gems are what make vacations memorable. Long queues, 3am wake-up calls for ADRs, add-on costs, and 7am FP selections are what make guests unhappy before they even step in the park. Focus on what matters upper management. That is what you get paid the big bucks for.

    The Parks are the only facet of the Disney empire that continually makes money. They are actively funding loss leaders like the Disney +. Instead of offering a "magical" experience in the parks, they are cutting back everywhere, and it's obvious. Removing live shows. Cutting back on general maintenance. Changing the menus to remove favourites and cut back on quality. Making guests pay for Lightning Lane, a service that used to be called "Fast Pass" and was free. Instead of spending $180 million on a, quite frankly, dire Star Wars show, they should be keeping up standards in the Parks.
