Welcome, foolish mortals, to the 2023 Countdown to Halloween...31 days of frightful fun that leads straight to the spookiest day of the year! October 1st marks the official Opening Day of Walt Disney World so it's a Tulgey Wood tradition to kickoff this macabre mansion salute the Magic Kingdom's Haunted Mansion.

This photo (click on the image for a closer view) also shows how the spooky manse looms over the Rivers of America from the atop on which it sts. Come back tomorrow (and all through October) for more Halloween fun. And don't forget to visit all the oogie-boogie blogs ready to scare the (un)living daylights out of you during this month-long scary-bration.
Love that vintage photo - and all buckled in for spooky fun ahead!
