I recently picked up this DVD Documentary on Disney's Haunted Mansion and if you are a fan of vinatage Disney like I am then this is something you need to check out. The site is called Extinct Attractions and they have all kinds of cool free stuff for you to check out and then they also have some great DVD's on most of the old ride attractions that used to be all the rage at Disney back in the day. You remember when it was about imagination and not rollercoasters, and you left falling asleep over your parents shoulder dreaming about all the characters you got to meet that day.
