/* The Attic */
===The Attic===
Following the Ballroom scene, the Doom Buggies go up one floor to the attic. Here guests see a crammed and dusty room full of wedding gifts and furniture. As the Buggies progress, guests see five wedding portraits of Constance Hatchaway and her different husbands. Next to each portrait are wedding gifts, which seem to increase in quality after each subsequent marriage. The portraits include:
*Ambrose Harper & Constance Hatchaway (1869)
*Frank Barks & Constance Hatchaway (1872) (If if guests look closely at the cabinet near this portrait, they will see a female porcelain French aristocrat looking down on a fallen porcelain man, whose head has been removed.)
*Marquis de Doom & Constance Hatchaway (1874)
*Reginal Gaine & Constance (1875)
*George Hightower & Constance (1877) -- (This may be the same George who's tombstone we see in one of the stretching room pictures. In the stretching room a widow sits atop a gravestone reading “Beloved George”, with a hatchet in it.)
When the Doom Buggies pass each portrait the head of the grooms disappear. The story goes that, Constance married and killed her husbands in order to gain money and social status. In fact, if guests look closely at Constance in the portraits they will notice that she gains a string of pearls after each husband. After passing all 5 portraits, guests come face to face with Constance herself, who is wearing a wedding dress and standing near the window. When the Buggies go by her, she says ominous phrases (such as: "Tell DEATH do us part"). While in the attic, guests may notice that a melancholy version of Wagner's Bridal Chorus can be heard (the only song besides Grim Grinning Ghosts heard in the attraction). After passing Constance, the Doom Buggies "escape" from the attic and fall below into the graveyard.

This has neither been confirmed nor denied by the Disney Company however.
