Question for Haunted Mansion workers!

Post by ricegirl25 » Sun Dec 12, 2010 5:32 am

Hello! I am just a guest, but I had a question to possibly prevent us from being categorized as a Stupid Guest! My three year old LOVES the Haunted Mansion.
We will be bringing her to WDW in January, and I have a feeling that she will want to sing the "Grim Grinning Ghosts" song to someone working at the attraction that day. Tell me honestly...would you find this annoying? (Of course, we find her wildly entertaining, but realize the rest of the world might not think so...) I may be biased, being her mother and all, but she really does butcher the lyrics. :) (e.g., "grim grimming ghosts come out to tear your eyes.)
What do you think? Annoying or heartwarming???

I think it would be really cute, especially if it's one of her favorite rides and that's known.

Come on guys, she's three years old. Give her a shot.

It wouldn't be the end of the world. For me it would depend on the day. When you hear the same thing day after day, and every guest thinks they are original, then it's likely to be annoying. But I doubt having a little kid sing the song is something they hear every day and I would probably find it cute.

My only concern is that a greeter is rarely just standing there. Particularly if it's busy. While I love to interact with guests, you just don't always have the time to spend a couple of minutes with one guest. You have to be on the lookout for guests with disabilities who may need to use a different entrance or transfer from an ECV to a wheelchair. You have to hand out Flik cards. If there is a height requirement or other rider requirement (like no casts), you have to watch for those as well. So the whole time, I would be watching the other guests and may have to step away. It's a cute idea, but may not be feasible.

Just to throw in my 2 cents about 3 year olds riding the Haunted Mansion.

Before we took our ALMOST 3 year old to Disney World for the first time, we had watched the Disneyland fun video about a million times. She LOVED the Haunted Mansion part and looked forward to it. What we didnt' realize was how many of the effects that pop up from the floor are then RIGHT AT A 3 YEAR OLDS EYE LEVEL. It scared the snot out of her, and from then on we had trouble getting her on any dark rides. Even things like Pan that we KNEW she'd love. Just be careful.
