Haunted Mansion Closed

Ah, that is great! You could also say something like "We need to put the dust and cobwebs back, Custodial worked overtime! Do you know how long it takes spiders to make all of those webs? Disney does, at least until <date HM re-opens>!"

Speaking of that item, I read in a book about DW that the cobwebs are actually kept in liquid form and strung up with some weird process. Does anyone in that attraction know how it's done?

That site is very detailed in Mansion information.

As is widely reported seemingly everywhere, the dust and cobwebs which fill the attraction are regularly replenished. Webs come in a liquid form similar to Rubber Cement and are sprayed through a device very much like a hand-held drill with a fan blade mounted on the end (the “spinning” effect is very similar to how cotton candy is made).

The webs are then dusted (as are much of the furniture and walls) with a substance called “Fuller’s Earth”. Larger webs, such as those spun by “giant spiders” and those found in the Ballroom, are sprayed over thin strings tried together in web patterns by the Imagineers. This effect seems to be replenished more frequently at Walt Disney World than Disneyland. The webs are apparently quite powdery and loose to the touch
