Haunted Mansion - What ring??

OK. I've clearly missed something here.

I've heard a number of references to a RING at HM.

What the heck is everyone talking about?

Now to me, this doesn't look like a ring. It looks like a hole for a gate pin. But make of it what you will.

What does the ring stand for? I am sure with Disney that it represents something.

OK. I've seen that before and I agree with you.... gate pin hole.

So why's everyone talking about it? Is there some kind of Disney folklore associated with it?

Re: Haunted Mansion - What ring??

I thought Jenny had said it was supposedly thrown from the mansion by one of the ghosts....some story behind it. It's on DC somewhere.

Re: Haunted Mansion - What ring??

The ring belonged to the bride in the attic that you see towards the end of the ride...she was supposed to be Master Gracy's wife to be...but met a tragic end. Legend has it that the ring fell off when they were taking her away to be buried...and as for her death...that differs sometimes...from being poisoned like in the movie or getting locked my Madame Leota (a jealous lover of Gracy's) in a trunk...where no one would hear her cries for help.

Re: Haunted Mansion - What ring??

Another rumor is that the ring was thrown from the attic window and landed in the concrete. It's fun to use your imagination with this story.

If this "thing" was anywhere else, it would just be a hole for a gate pin, but at WDW, it is a ring.

Re: Haunted Mansion - What ring??

Call me Mr. Myth-Buster. I'm afraid that Jeff is right. It's a gate post hole.

You can find the facts here: (http://www.hiddenmickeys.org/WDW/Mag...S/Mansion.html) Scroll down to #66 for the whole story.
