Although the Museum of the Weird was never built, ideas from the museum can be found within the Haunted Mansion itself. Examples of this include:
*The red chair that appear to have face
*The wallpaper in the "Corridor of Doors" with various faces and eyes.
*The gypsy cart that sells merchandise outside of the Disney World Haunted Mansion. Originally a similar cart would have been located in the Museum of the Weird and would have interacted with guests.
===Disney Imagineers===
The main Disney Imageneers that worked on the designing and construction of the Haunted Mansion were:
*Harper Goff (original sketches and design)
*Ken Anderson (storyline)
*Blane Gibson (sculpting-many of the ghosts including the hitchhiking ghosts and the singing busts were sculpted by Blane Gibson)
Other Imagineers who contributed to the creation of the Haunted Mansion include Harriet Burns and X Atencio.
==Disney World Construction==
During the time the Haunted Mansion was being finalized in Disneyland, plans for a identical version in the not yet open Walt Disney World. Props and sets for the Disneyland Haunted Mansion were copied and shipped to Florida. Unlike the Disneyland version however, the Haunted Mansion was set in the American Northeast, not New Orleans (due to the fact that Liberty Square replaced New Orleans Square in Walt Disney World). The change in location is evident in the architecture. Unlike the Gothic feel of the Disneyland Haunted Mansion, the version in Walt Disney World is built with a colonial/Hudson River Valley architecture. In fact, the Harry Peacher Mansion in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania was the influence for the Disney World Haunted Mansion. The Haunted Mansion opened with the park on October 1, 1971.
