Disney Parks Blog Weekly Recap

[Disney4me]

As we celebrated five years of stories on the Disney Parks Blog this week, we launched another new, exclusive series especially for the Halloween holiday – 999 Happy Haunts.

Each week, 999 Happy Haunts will be offering an up-close look at a different resident of The Haunted Mansion right here on the Disney Parks Blog. And first up, we focused on one of the ladies of the house – Madame Leota.

Visit Jennifer’s original story to find out everything you ever wanted to know about Madame Leota and then let us know what resident you’d like to see next.
