Can an "expert" please answer me a question: In watching videos of The Haunted Mansion and from personal experience of actually being there, why is it that sometimes like 75% of the guests are inside the foyer before the narration begins and the portrait begins to change and other times (as is the case in this video) no one is yet inside before the show begins? Obviously the first scenario is preferred so that everyone can experience the whole show.
@letterpeopleland Well, it's mainly like that for the sake of expediency and getting more guests into the ride faster. It used to be much better. When I was last there I was the first in line and immediately after the doors opened I practically ran in so I wouldn't miss the portrait... and it was nearly half-way done transforming. Probably a good choice for Disney to make in terms of logistics, but a terrible decision to make in terms of good showmanship.
yeah, theyve messed up the timing of the spiel with the transformation of Gracey....they used to run simultaneously and in perfect sync...now the transformation begins and the spiel doesnt start until halfway thru
I disagree. I think it was pretty goood showmanship. The way he did it was good. Hell, last time I was there, I got in the foyer after the portrait was done. I asked a castmember if I could stay for the next, and I was told to wait in the room off to the side. I went out when I heard the spiel start to play, and the portrait was already half done.
BTW, this is Tregnier2795 from Doombuggies, if you didn't guess. (ya know, the whole rant about... wallpaper.)

Annoying how the butler waits so long to open the door and the guests miss the Gracey portrait transformation..bad show
