Actually, the Captain is drowning in a bath tub, not brine.

True, he may be pickled, but his tomb is actually the Captain drowning in the bathtub - which is weird, because wouldn't the captain won't be memorialized for being a Sea Captain at the wheel of ship and not having drowned in the tub?

Oh, I wondered why his feet and leg were visible outside of his tomb. Having him memorialized at the helm wouldn't be as dramatic now would it?! ;)

I assumed it was because the person who pickled him and arranged the tomb had the same sense of humor as the person writing the epitaphs. :lol:
Can't wait to take my twin boys on their first trip to Walt Disney World! Planning on heading there sometime Feb-May 2014!

I have to admit when I first saw the earlier pictures of the Sea Captain tomb it made no sense to me; then when finding out the grave epitath I realized the departed captain was drowned in the tub atop the tomb (those four fish at each corner are the legs of the tub). It made more sense. I do wonder how those HM purists are taking these new additions? There are those HM fans who ranted about the addition of Constance in the attic - I wonder if the new tombs are giving them coronaries?

It took me awhile too. And yes, I bet they are having coronaries. :lol: More happy haunts? ;)

Well, there are 999 happy haunts there, but there's room for a thousand - so any new "happy haunts" will have to fill out an application and see if they get that last spot. I hear there's a charming ghostess on hand to take those applications - probably in the Ghost Relations Dept. :wink:

I think it looks pretty cool. I hope some of the other long wait attractions get interactive queues.

It really looks impressive! I liked the little girl that was playing the organ and then stopped and backed up and grabbed her Mom's hand when it squirted at her. That was cute.

I guess he did World Showcase since everything is pretty much outside and not attraction-based. I hope he can make one for Future World though!
Errrrrrr....is that suppose to be a post in the "EPCOT in 5,151 Pictures" topic... :?:

Have you ever seen ETR: UNM? :shock: :roll: Then you know any change or revision should be met with trepidations. 8-)

I have yet to see it, so I can't speak for the new tombs being either good or bad... :mickey:
