Changes

===Changes Since Opening Day===

Throughout the attractions first 35 years, the Haunted Mansion saw a relatively few number of changes. Most notably, during this period, the original bride figure was replaced first in the late 1970s/early 1980s and again in the mid 1990s <ref> https://longforgottenhauntedmansion.blogspot.com/2010/05/here-comes-bride-part-three-two-lost.html </ref>. In 2006 however, the Haunted Mansion closed for its fist extensive refurbishment. At this time,

===The Staircases & Endless Hallway===

When the Haunted Mansion was renovated in 2007, a new scene was added to the attraction. Known as the staircase scene, the new room is located after guests leave the music parlor but before they reach the Endless Hallway. The staircase room is a space filled with various staircases and doorways that apparently lead to other dimensions. The staircases look like a maze and some even seem to defy gravity, as they twist and turn or even go upside down. On the staircases, ghostly glowing footprints appear going up or down the stairs before fading away.

===The Graveyard===

Following the close encounter with Constance, the Doom Buggies fall out the window and turn backwards. When they land on the ground, ghosts appear to be flying all around and guests now find themselves at the gates to a graveyard located near the mansion. Outside the gates, a caretaker named Dick O’Dell quivers in fear as his dog "Boney" whimpers. After passing some scary looking trees, guests enter the graveyard where the ghosts seem to be having a party. A ghost band known as the Phantom Five play a jazzy version of "Grim Grinning Ghosts", as various other paranormal beings enjoy themselves. The Phantom Five is made up of a drummer (banging on headstones), a flutist, a harpist, a bagpipe player, and a horn player. Various cats and owls harmonize with the band, and demon dogs can be heard howling in the distance. Near the band, a king and queen teeter on see-saw while a duchess sips tea behind them.

As the Doom Buggies move through the graveyard, they pass a group of singing marble busts. Located on guest’s right hand side, these marble busts sing (and express) the song "Grim Grinning Ghosts". All around the graveyard, ghosts pop up and try to scare guests, while other specters simply enjoy the party. Those enjoying the party include, a mummy who is drinking tea, a Renascence era oracle, and various ghosts riding bicycles around tombstones.
