The actual ride is housed in a building on the other side of the railroad tracks. The stretching room was born of necessity in the original Haunted Mansion at Disneyland.
Is this room actually stretching? At Disney World, the answer is actually sort of. The ride portion of the Haunted Mansion is preceded by the famous Stretching Room where you are introduced to your Ghost Host. Marc Davis (Grandpa Mark), Fred Joerger (Good Old Fred) and Yale Gracey (Master Gracey) are all Imagineers who left their mark on the attraction. Interestingly, the names on the other tombstones are those of Disney Imagineers who helped create the Haunted Mansion. Toombs was honored with this unique tombstone in 2001. A tribute to Disney Costumer Leota Toombs (what a great name!) who portrayed the spiritual medium Madame Leota in the séance scene, this headstone might surprise you if you look carefully. The highlight of the graveyard is the Madame Leota tombstone. Be on the lookout for some spooky sights and some laughs as well. Of course, don’t miss the tombs to your left just before you enter the Mansion. Lots of fun surprises await in this line so you may want to take a long way. On the tomb of Posthumous Poetess, words inexplicably appear! Finally, in the Secret Library push in the books that mysteriously pop out at this haunted bookcase. Check out the tomb of the Sepulcher of the Sea Captain, which leaks water and bubbles rise as the Captain sings a long-lost tune. Tap any of the embossed musical instruments on the crypt to hear a haunted tune mysteriously play. You may not mind waiting in this attraction’s ride queue because there is so much to see! You’ll discover a musical crypt.
