Anniversaries
creep up on you sometimes, don't they? At least in this case, the
subject of the anniversary has the excuse of always being somewhat
creepy. By most counts, the adored Haunted Mansion hits the big
Five-Oh on August 9th of this year, and...people don't
seem to be talking about it much. I suppose Galaxy's Edge is
overshadowing it, both in the literal sense of Disney not doing much
to promote it because they have this other thing going on, and Annual
Passholders like myself (who would otherwise plan to turn up in
droves to have our own promotion) having perused the park's calendar
and found that our APs are blocked until at least mid-August in order
to leave room for those massive Star Wars crowds.*
Or
maybe people are talking about it, just not where I can hear them.
In
any case, the chances that I will be able to properly celebrate this
momentous event are looking pretty slim, so in lieu of that, here's a
snarky list of 50 things that Disney and/or Doom Bugs** should
definitely not do to mark the
occasion.
