We are doing a deep dive through the queue AND the ride scene by scene!

Welcome aboard new coffee buddy David!☕️💕
Thank you all so much for watching!!💜💚🖤
Thank you!! So excited to be here, I very much enjoy all your videos, myself never having the chance to go to any Disney Parks. Thank you for taking us along.
Thank you for confirming my suspicion that the ride would stop because of the guests and not because of the ride itself.
Former Disneyland mansion CM.. best memories of my life!! The mansion will always have a special place in my heart!
❤ Been waiting for this one!! So freaking proud of you!! ❤
Thank you babe!! I love you!!!❤️
yall both are beautiful couple good people as well hope yall doing good me and my partner patrick still watching both of yall channel love the adventure you both showing us
I've been on the Haunted Mansion ride so many times since I was young. And I remember feeling so bad for that scared pup when you're traveling backward down the ride watching him and the guy standing there. And he's so scared shaking. Thanks, Cris for the video from your eyes
My mind is blown with all the things and detail you pointed out I did not know. One of may reasons why I have always loves this channel! You outdid yourself you nailed it babe. I’ve been waiting to come back and leave a comment on this one. I’m glad we got to watch it together before the busy weekend started. Hands-down, the best video you have ever done. There is no one who could’ve gave such a thorough and detailed tour Plus who loves the haunted mansion as much as you do! I really look forward to the next one. I know how much this meant to you and how much you worked on it. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your channel and your life. I’m so stinking proud of my fiancé! I love you CTG!! Perfect video!
PS the audio and editing was flawless. Good job blending the commentary and with the road footage.!! We should’ve watched this again tonight on the TV with your parents!!
❤
💀 🏰 👻
She did a great job with this one for sure!
Lol, back in my day there was no 'extended queue'. Heck, I remember when there were no guards in the front entrance gates to the hotels and you could drive right in. Plus I remember taking dates to the Top of The World to watch the fireworks and able to be ALONE while watching (that's the roof of the Contemporary for those of you that don't know). Even better, I remember the days that no one batted an eye that parents dropped of middle schoolers at the parks ON THEIR OWN!!! (But I also remember when EPCOT opened, so ....yeah! Lol) Those were the days!
This is the ultimate behind the scenes video of a cast member who worked the Haunted Mansion. As someone who always wanted to but could not work at the Mansion due to life circumstances - this is the info I always wanted to learn. Thank you so much for sharing - it answered a life goal. Know you really made a lot of us happy and brought serious joy! Thank you!
39:00 Also, how wonderful is it to have memories of how things used to be. I remember when the merch was sold from Madame Leota’s gypsy caravan outside the gates. 😊
You showed me several thing I never knew. Been thru mansion several times. Thank you
I love this deep dive behind the scenes.
Just wanted to point out - I like it when the Haunted Mansion stops! Gives more time to enjoy the ride and see the details.
I remember some time between 87-91 on Haunted Mansion in Disneyland, in the hall with the armor, there was a Live human actor dressed in the armor and would do a jump scare. Did you ever experience that in WDW? Loved this video BTW!!
I never experienced the live actor on the ride but I've heard of it being a thing and it sounds horrifying haha!! Thank you for watching the video!!
Yes!!! He or she was perfect…because you never knew which of the knights it was going to be, until they jumped out at you!!! Good memories from High School!!
I love how the "bride's ring" wasn't in fact a ring originally but it was a sawn off metal pole that people have mistaken it for the bride's ring and this became so well known that Imagineers have actually put a real ring in the concrete floor. 🤣
This was by far my most favorite ride. Back in the 1970's I went through Disneyland's Haunted Mansion as a Foolish Mortal child. Thanks for your tour and memories of Disneyworld so I could see the differences between the two haunted mansions.
Wow! MIC DROP! You need to do more of these! Great job girly, your a breath of fresh air.
Haha thank you so much Georgia!!❤️❤️❤️
I worked the Disneyland version for 4 years spent hours in the elevator have lots of stories did help Dolly Parton off the ride great video 😊 thanks
Oh wow!! That is amazing!! Great to meet another maid/butler, I bet it was awesome working at the Disneyland OG mansion! Thank you for watching!!
Fantastic video!
I never knew that the stretching room was timed. I love all the details you shared. I remember the maroon awning and even when there was no awning. I thought I was already subscribed? Not sure what happened but subscribed again👍🏻
HM has been my favorite ride since I first visited in 1971🖤yup, I'm old😂🤣What a fun video💜
P.S. I've always thought the horse's name should be SHADOW🖤💜🖤💜
One of my cast member friends called the horse Shadow! :) Thank you for watching!!
Great video! I grew up in SoCal and visited Disneyland throughout my childhood and the Haunted Mansion was always one of my top 3 rides. Later I moved to Orlando where I was a regular visitor at WDW. The Haunted Mansion continued to be my favorite ride, so I appreciate the insight you bring from being a cast member. I look forward to watching some of your other videos soon. Thanks again for a memorable, fun-filled tour of the Haunted Mansion.
Great video 👍🏻. Yes haunted mansion is a classic and should never be gone.
Yep Disney cast member class of 87’ 🎉
Class of 84 here
Great informative video 😀 and REALlY nice listening to you talking without being interrupted or spoken over
Thank you for watching!!
I love crying kids on the HM! So funny!😂
😂😂
Thanks for the video! This has always been my favorite ride since I was a youngin'.
Roughly 30 years ago (back when the cast members were still allowed to scare you) I made friends with a butler and maid on the ride. One night they were the closers and let me and my cousin do it with them! They turned on the lights and I got to walk through and experience everything. That's something I'll never forget.
I REALLY enjoyed this tour of the Haunted Mansion. Very cool to hear an insider's description of it.
Can't wait to watch this I've been waiting for this Haunted Mansion video I got too excited I had to comment before I watched it! haha
Haha I hope you enjoyed it!!!
That was awesome, Cris! ❤ So cool that you were a cast member and experienced all the behind the scenes goodies.
Thank you for sharing. 🤗
God bless 🙌
Thank you so much Kim!!
@@CristheGirl you're very welcome hon 🤗
Super cool 😎 video
This was a really cool having a Haunted Mansion tour narrated by you that must have been amazing walking down that hall and seeing a lot things up close when you worked there.
It was amazing! Really appreciate you watching!!😊
Great job Cris! Amazing video! Thank you so much for sharing this behind the scene/tour of the haunted mansion!! 👍
Thank you so much Denis!!
This was such an informative video! Loved every minute of it. So many cool things I never realized! 👍
Thank you so much, I'm so glad you enjoyed!!
That defunct building on the left used to be the souvenir shop themed for The Haunted Mansion,they had cooler stuff sold there back in the 80's and 90's. I had once a tombstone that you got to have your name inscribed and known as ghost number 1,000 and bought plenty of shrunken skulls. I had one that glowed in the dark and one that you can hang on the wall
dig out your old home videos and see if Cris the Girl was working the ride that day for you 😜
😂 it’s quite possible!!
Just re-watched this video. I didn't realize how much I missed the first time. This was super interesting! A lot of stuff I never realized before. It definitely shows you put a lot of work into this! Thanks for another awesome video!
From a current Disney cast member, great Video!
THIS IS EXCELLENT! I loved the detailed narrative and the inside info. Please do more Disney attractions! (A little ASMR'ish too -very calming voice)
Love this! It’s so amazing to hear your positive views on working here, too. Thank you for sharing all these insights.
That is so cool! It my most favorite ride. And every experience was wonderful.
Love the behind the scenes. I miss being a pass holder.
That was so cool. It just reminded me of the time that I worked at Experience Music Project when it was first opened back in 2000 and there was a ride called Artist's Journey. There was many times that I worked in that section and watched video and started the motion platform ride. But it was fun job and you get to meet a lot of people across the country and around the world.
This is such a good deep dive! Love all the behind the scenes knowledge. The Haunted Mansion just has the greatest aesthetics!
Haven't been able to find the ring for years. I thought for sure it was near the exit. Thank you!
So great to hear the side stories. Thanks for your perspective.
Thank you so much!
This was SOOOO good!! Amazing job Cris! Absolutely loved the deep dive and behind the scenes info. Still can’t get over that the stretching room runs 24/7!! That somehow makes it more creepy! -Jess
Thank you for the tour. I know I will never get to a Disney park so I appreciate your insight.
Great video Cris! A lot of stuff that I didn’t know. My wife and I went on the Marceline to Magic tour in 2019. It went back stage of the haunted mansion and on the ride with the tour guide. I recommend it to take Jay! I would love for you to do a video about working in MK (utlidors especially)
Been waiting for this one and you delivered! Love Tampa Jays shirt! So envious of Chad for riding the keel boats! Love all the little details on the outside of the house before you even get in it. They added the extended Q in 2011! I think the other ring is towards the exit. Loved the voice over for the rest of the tour. So detailed. As I've mentioned before when we first met, I've done this tour when we worked there and it was one of my absolute favorite ones ever. It was a dream come true. Love the famous "Donald Duck Chair." That's cool about the actual incantation. They didn't tell us that during the tour. Love love love the peppers ghost effect! To see those animatronics up close was just freaking amazing. I remember the OG attic scene before they had changed it. I love the new story but still miss the old version too. So jellies that you got to wear that dress! It was so gorgeous. I don't think they're going to get rid of HM but I have a feeling that they will change the hanging scene. And if they had to do that in return of axing the whole ride (see what I did there?) 😂 I'd be ok with it. As always, awesome deep dive 🙌🏻💀
Super fun
I love the way you still Disney point with your two fingers. Our daughter worked there about 10 years ago and told us about the secret Disney two finger point. Great video! Very well done and very informative!
Very cool! Once a Disney cast member, always a Disney cast member 😊 thank you for watching!!
I remember when the ring was at the front gate of the ride. I worked at WDW in 99
hi Chris the girl , i came over from jordan the lion and Adam the woo from the strawberry festival vlogs . congratulations on you and Tampa Jay on the engagement .i subscribed to both . adorable couple ,both look so happy .thank you for great vlogs Chris
I love how at 32:52, you can just hear Cris screaming "KITTIES!" Fantastic video Cris! I absolutely adore the Haunted Mansion and I definitely learned a lot from this video. You're doing a phenomenal job with these videos!
Aw thank you so much Parker! I really appreciate it!!❤️ lol I just love those cats so much!
Great job on this! It’s also one of my favorite rides. As a kid in the 70s my parents took us on the ride there and it was scary! My dad insisted we always had to ride it after dark! I remember the three of us kids riding in one buggy with my younger brother between my and my twin sister. He was shaking! Last May my husband and I went to Disneyland and were first in line when it went down for a while. They let us hang out for a while sitting on the floor in the lobby, which was cool and restful but ultimately we took a pass and let and came back later.
Another great Job cris . Now I want to go Disneyland and go on that ride 🎉
Back in Halloween Week of October 2018. My mom and me took the Keys to the Kingdom Tour. Our tour group got to go into the Servant's Quarters of the Haunted Mansion there. It was fun having a pre show room just for our group and the stretching room. I am surprised you did not talk about the frame around the aging portrait. We were able to get a close up look at the frame, That is all I am going to say about the frame.
Been going to WDW since 1979. Haunted Mansion is my favorite ride. You just made it sooo much better. Thanks Chris.
Aw that is awesome! I’m so glad to hear it!!😊 thank you for watching!!
Oh man!!! That was EXCELLENT!!! While I have never been to WDW I have been to the one in California and the Haunted Mansion by far was always my favourite! Was really looking forward to this video and it did not disappoint. Thanks for all your background knowledge. Some may think knowing the ‘secrets’ detracts from the ride but I disagree, I think it only adds to the experience. Thanks Cris. Keep up the great work ❤
Aw thank you so much Sam, I am so glad you enjoyed this video!! :)
Definitely one of my favorite rides! I think it would be interesting to be part of the cleaning crew and get to see everything close up with the lights on. I’ll be here in a couple days so it will be neat to ride and notice some of the things you pointed out.
Awesome! I hope you enjoyed your time at Disney!! :)
Amazing
This is AWESOME Cris!!!!! I love the CM point with your fingers! I do the exact same thing! LOL I always say “once a Cast Member, always a Cast Member”. I love all these little fun CM secrets! Great job Cris!!!!!!
Aw thank you so much!! That cast member mentality never leaves ya that’s for sure😊
I have been able to go to Disney World so I loved your tour of the Haunted Mansion and lived vicariously through you. I loved seeing the Mansion! You did such a wonderful job showing all the details. Congrats on your engagement to Tampa Jay!!!!! I found you through following him. So I am enjoying watching your videos! It’s my first time commenting for you! Thank-you for showing the Haunted Mansion!!!
AW thank you so much Sue, I really appreciate the kind words!! So glad you enjoyed this one and thank you for checking out my channel!! :)
Hoooonnngh, I can FeEeEel the humidity, jeepers, no thank you lol! I'd probably call the horse "Thessie," like a Thestral, perhaps? I thought everybody knew about the "Wedding Ring"? Went to the Mansion on a school choir trip. The Stretching Room got WAY too people-y and I MAJORLY had to bail! I am somewhat claustrophobic, so PEOPLE! plus *space* equals a whole lotta nope on this end! Shame, because the rest of the attraction looked great! Thanks for taking the time and energy to share your memories and give us the deets!
Awesome video, I pretty much live at Disney and you even surprised me with a few of the things you pointed out.
Oh cool! I am so glad you enjoyed the video, thank you for watching!!
Thanks so much Cris for this eye opening informative video of the Haunted Mansion. I enjoyed this one. I've been watching you and Tampa Jay for a while now. Yall are both very enjoyable to watch. Congrats on your engagement. That was a special video. Tampa Jay did quite well with that one.
Forgot to comment on this one when I watched it last week…. Absolutely loved this vlog! It isn’t often that I hear things that I didn’t already know about WDW, but I think you got me a few times on this one! Great job! I always look forward to your vlogs, you are very soothing to listen to.
The ol’ two finger point. 😁
Lucky I never had to wait that long.😂
I have done research on the Interactive Queue in the Haunted Mansion. It is been there since 2011.
Hey love this video. I live in California and we actually do have a haunted mansion store, it’s located at the corner next to the pirates ride. It has nightmare stuff too, and it’s connected to the pirates gift shop😊 but I just wanted to say love this video thanks for this in depth ❤️
Thanks Cris for the deep dive into the amazing Haunted Mansion. 👻 💀⚰️🪦The animatronics and special effects on this and Pirates of the Caribbean ☠️🗡is why I love those rides so much! My cousin and his wife are cast members currently. He works at Pop Century and she works in the floral dept. Having family that work at Disney has its advantages as you know. They also tell me of behind the scenes stuff also.
Cris you are so amazing. I bet it was fun working there, but I am glad you have grown with your channel..
Have a blessed weekend
This was cool thanks !
Very interesting Cris. Thank you! It’s hard to notice the small details when you’re actually in the ride. I love that Disney takes the time to add those details though, even though they know most won’t see it.
Right?! It’s amazing how much detail they jam in there and 75% of it you never notice! Thank you so much for watching!!
Awesome video! This is legit one of the best things I’ve seen on social media!!
Is there any truth to Madame Leota’s seance table being legit and the CM are afraid to touch/clean it?
Cris this what Im talking about Great content..Good job!!
Aw thank you so much! Really appreciate it!!
The Haunted Mansion is one of my all-time favorite attraction at WDW. Thank you so much for some awesome Behind The Scenes Information on the attraction.
Thank you so much for watching!!
@@CristheGirl No problem.
This is my number one favorite Disney ride! Thank you for the behind the scenes info, Cris! 🌹
Mine too!!😊 thank you so much for watching!!
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed and learned all of those things. Thanks you so much. Greetings from Chile. :8)
Thank you!! :)
I’ve been anxiously waiting for this. This is awesome. You did a great job Cris.
Yay! Thank you so much!!😊
Great deep dive Cris. The thumbnail of you as a Haunted Mansion cast member is awesome.
Thank you so much!!
hope you and Jay have awesome! weekend
Still got that two finger point down pat. lol
That was amazing behind the scenes thanks Cris.
Absolutely loved this video I love the haunted mansion thank you for taking us on your adventure
Very well done

It sure is and that is awesome! Thank you for watching!!

Thank you so much Nick!!
Great video, Cris! This might be one of my favorite rides and favorite videos from you! So informative and well thought out! 👍👍
Thank you so much!!
That was a very interesting tour Cris, thanks.
Thank you so much for watching!!
BRAVO! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I love a good insider video!
Thank you!!!
why weren't the duke and the dutches who sit at the table drinking wine there? why wasn't the mummy showing up in his sarcophagus drinking his tea? I see animatronics not there in the cemetery sometimes in other videos of the haunted mansion ride. does that mean they are not working at the moment or is it because they don't feel like having their pictures taken or being filmed cause they want to enjoy their afterlife without people doing that stuff?
we were told that they can't stop the ride one time my mom was afraid to get on walking platform. it was frustrating when the cast member told us that. they eventually did but it took a while
Very cool. Thanks for sharing 😊
That was great Cris! Thank you!
Really enjoyed your behind the scenes video. Thank you
Thank you so much for watching!!
I really enjoyed this. Your hard work really shined. Thank You for sharing!!
Thank you so much Lance! I really appreciate it!!😊
Yay love haunted mansion
