The history of Phantom Manor at Disneyland Paris for Halloween 2021

I foreshadowed today's topic in the footnote to Vox explains why the Victorian mansion is a horror icon for Halloween.
The irony is that neither of the Haunted Mansions at Disneyland nor the Magic Kingdom in Disney World is a Victorian Mansion. The former is an antebellum plantation house and the latter is a Gothic Revival. On the other hand, Phantom Manor in Disneyland Paris is. Maybe I'll write about it next.
No maybe about it. Watch Park Ride History's The History of The Phantom Manor | Disneyland Paris.

Our final look at The Haunted Mansion takes us all the way out to Paris, Disneyland Paris that is. To a unique version of the attraction called "The Phantom Manor". The manor presents an entirely new storyline throughout it. One that we'll be diving into with this video...
Since this video came out three years ago, Vincent Price's narration has returned to Phantom Manor. It's almost enough to convince me to put Disneyland Paris on my bucket list just so I can hear it and experience what is probably the best version of the ride — almost.

For today's drink, I'm being a good environmentalist by recycling last year's selection, Pepper Tree Villa's Haunted Mansion.

This is a Haunted Mansion cocktail. Inspired by the attraction at Disneyland and Walt Disney World, this cocktail calls in the spirits wherever they're at. It has tequila, rum, vodka, and gin among other delicious mixers.
Drink responsibly and stay tuned for more Halloween posts through the end of the month. Trick or treat!
