Top Happy Haunts of the Haunted Mansion

4. A Haunting Refrain 

 Whether it’s your first time riding or your twentieth, the one thing guests always remember from their time spent at the mansion is the theme song. Like “It’s a Small World After All” and “There’s a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow,” “Grim Grinning Ghosts” is one of the most recognizable tunes on the Disney Parks playlist. This spooky song is brought to us from regions beyond by the singing busts of The Haunted Mansion graveyard. These spectral singers serenade spectators as their Doom Buggy floats among the tombstones. Easily one of the most memorable elements of the graveyard scenes, the singing busts set the mood for the swinging wake. Guests are sure to be tapping their tones to this tune fit for the tombs.

3. Madame Leota

Serpents and spiders, tail of a rat, call in the spirits wherever they're at… How can any ghostly encounter be complete without a proper seance? Madame Leota is The Haunted Mansion’s live in medium, communicator with the undead, and summoner of the spirits. Easily one of the most popular and most recognizable ghosts of the manor, Madame Leota floats in her crystal ball and causes the happy haunts to materialize for the guests, gorgeous and ghostly as ever. Her mere presence and performance are enough to make the seance scene a favorite for any Haunted Mansion visitor.
