In celebration of the annual Nightmare Before Christmas holiday layover, Disneyland has released this video of the history behind the Haunted Mansion–Walt's vision for the project, how the whole thing started started out and where it is today. Check out the video after the jump.
…And, by the way, if you haven't yet had the pleasure of visiting the Mansion for the Halloween/Christmas season, you're missing out–it's easily the best treat from the park for the holidays. (Though, we'll admit, the new Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy is a pretty close second.)
