Re: Haunted Mansion
There are so many aspects of HM. It's a fairly hard question to answer.
As a kid I think I loved the elevator/foyer, I always got so fill with anticipation. The ballroom was always so amazing, I mean people/ghost disappeared! Now I enjoy the graveyard the best. Every time I ride I see something new.

Re: Haunted Mansion
Oooo, a churro is something like a fried doughnut but in stick-form and it's usually sprinkled with cinnamon (sp?) and sugar...nothing beats a warm churro...Especially with the chocolate sauce from the Crepes kiosk! You gotta give it a try sometime!Amy wrote:I've never had one, but anything that has chocolate sauce can't be too badChaChing wrote:Awww, now I feel bad...how 'bout a cyber churro from the Cantina de San Angel with some chocolate sauce from the Crepes kiosk in France?

Re: Haunted Mansion
The doughnut part sounds good, cinnamon also good, but I think the chocolate sauce needs to be on the side - that doesn't sound like it would go together very well.ChaChing wrote:Oooo, a churro is something like a fried doughnut but in stick-form and it's usually sprinkled with cinnamon (sp?) and sugar...nothing beats a warm churro...Especially with the chocolate sauce from the Crepes kiosk!

Back on topic so I don't get subsonic-ed, I also like the tombstones outside the haunted mansion - those are clever...

Re: Haunted Mansion
Amy - have you ever seen the pet cemetary when you come out of HM? It's neat. They tribute a poodle, cat, rat, bat, frog, and something else but I can't remember what it is. As soon as you come out of HM and you pass the crypt it's immediately on your left outside. You should take a look sometime.Amy wrote:The doughnut part sounds good, cinnamon also good, but I think the chocolate sauce needs to be on the side - that doesn't sound like it would go together very well.ChaChing wrote:Oooo, a churro is something like a fried doughnut but in stick-form and it's usually sprinkled with cinnamon (sp?) and sugar...nothing beats a warm churro...Especially with the chocolate sauce from the Crepes kiosk!
