Although we can’t visit the actual Haunted Mansion in the Disney Parks right now, the grim grinning ghosts are bringing the ride to you. (*Cue evil laughter*)

On April 26th at 5 PM PST, the Haunted Orange County Facebook page is hosting the Living Legends of the Haunted Mansion event complete with terrifying thrills and a few special guests!

Bret Iwan, Tania Norris, and Bob Gurr will be joining together to talk about the creation of the Haunted Mansion, vintage Disneyland, and stories about their time spent with Walt Disney himself. In case you don’t recognize the names (you’ve got some The Imagineering Story to catch up on), Tania helped build Disneyland’s New Orleans Square as well as design the iconic purple wallpaper in the Haunted Mansion, while Bob Gurr created the Doom Buggy vehicles.

And, last but not least, Bret Iwan is the original voice behind Mickey Mouse (oh boy!) and will be the host of the event. If you tune in, let us know what you thought! We can’t wait for a little taste of the parks from the comfort of home!
