It’s the season of all things spooky, so yes, we’re riding Haunted Mansion a lot right now in Disney World. Okay, granted, we don’t need it to be Halloween to ride one of our favorite rides, but we love trying to spot new things.
Haunted Mansion
We’ve recently seen some new additions to the Haunted Mansion, too. Last year, we finally got our own version of Hatbox Ghost. Then there was the addition of a nice Rolly Crump Easter Egg. Then one of the picnic ghosts returned to the cemetery scene in the ride. Now, the second picnic ghost has returned after having been gone for some time.
During a recent visit to Magic Kingdom, we decided to ride Haunted Mansion…AGAIN. Seriously, we’ll never get tired of this ride. So, yes, we previously reported that a ghost having a picnic had recently returned to the ride. Here’s what he looks like, top hat and all.
Picnic ghost
This poor man, though, seems to be having a picnic all by himself. How sad! However, he’s not supposed to be alone, as seen in this Haunted Mansion concept art. He’s supposed to be having a picnic with a lady friend.

Well, we’ve got some good news. Mr. Top Hat Guy is no longer by himself. His lady friend ghost has joined him. She’s been missing for a while, so maybe the two had a bit of a spat or something.
She’s back!
Maybe Miss Fancy Pants just needed a vacation and took a little time to reflect on her unlife as a ghost. Who knows why she was gone, but it’s good to see her back and picnicking with her friend.
