I can see differences over the years in the arrangements of the dishes and serving pieces so it is obvious someone goes in and messes with it, like, gets rid of REAL dust and trash and replaces it with Pretend Dust, then has to sloppily "set" the table again. I am currently working on a diorama of this room, with intense focus on the table, all inspired by having read these posts and finally seeing some clean, clear photographs! Thank you! Ebay sells some ridiculously inexpensive "fancy" 1:6 scale dining room sets for dolls, they even come with compotes and wee glassware similar to that seen above, and with a liberal hit of spray paint, that vile Barbie Pink goes away forever and you instantly have Haunted Furniture. If others are so inclined to do same just for fun, I encourage you to go seek it out! The line is a knock-off line called "Gloria" or "My Fancy Life," and just type in dining room set. You will see that even the plates and bowls are the similar white and blue pattern. They price 'round $20 as of this writing, and can be had cheaper. I suppose if one got really enthusiastic the whole mansion could be done out of "Gloria's" warehouse...Faux Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17352054902291111153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4444762441887107389.post-32945009760347040652019-03-24T02:18:48.358-07:002019-03-24T02:18:48.358-07:00I am SO delighted to see others discussing this so...I am SO delighted to see others discussing this sound clip. As a kid I LOVED the ambient ballroom sound on the LP with "Mike (Opie) and Karen," and imagine, IMAGINE, my shock when, in my college years I bought a sound effect record merely called "Crowds" (I think - I bought a lot) and THAT CLIP WAS THERE, only without the reverb, and yes, more dialogue is discernible - mostly a male that sounds like he is begging to stop being tickled, and denying things. Perhaps a spy being tortured sort of thing, which is totally stupid but that is what I hear. He is saying half-finished things like "Oh naw don't - oh don't, oh haw haw! No really I - I - no don't..." Too it could be someone on the receiving end of a TERRIBLE and lengthy joke. And of course "oh that's the funniest story I've ever heard" is LOUD and clear, as well as her saying "NO!!" as if hearing salacious gossip right afterward. I could not believe my ears the first time I heard it, and oddly did not immediately connect it to the Haunted Mansion, until years after THAT when I re-verbed it for a project and suddenly I got chills upon hearing it as it is heard on the record. THE SAME SNIPPET, probably taped in the 50's or 60's, as were a few others on that album. The clips ranged from shopping malls to cocktail parties and even a busy police station, among other things. If I could somehow include an image of the record cover I would.

It's hard to tell because of the layers and layers of "dust", but the rim and interior pattern are quite similar. The best comparison I could find is in the bottom right hand corner of this image: http://36.media.tumblr.com/6907d4828bd5368d765af9347779dad5/tumblr_mpdqyaus491svvl99o3_1280.jpg<br /><br />and this Image: <br />http://www.photosmagiques.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/DSC05058.jpg<br /><br />The china for reference:<br />http://www.replacements.com/webquote/ROALAH.htm<br /><br />-MG13MasterGracey13noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4444762441887107389.post-1120611682044349352015-04-08T10:56:34.321-07:002015-04-08T10:56:34.321-07:00Great article - love the Kings Crown Glass!

WDL is using Oneida Cantata as stated in the article, but WDW looks like Oneida Strathmore Royal York. The style is very similar, but the Strathmore Royal York has one less indented scroll on the sides so it is a simpler design. But regardless, this page is great and has been a huge resource in helping me put together a haunted mansion dining room set for my wife's birthday - complete with hidden Mickey setting.

I like the King's Crown cranberry glasses, I bet those would be nice to use around the holidays. I think I like the blue dishes better, they're less distracting than the red set when your eyes are supposed to be on the ghosts. There are also some really good pictures of the dining table and the dining ghosts here. I didn't know the male ghost next to the birthday girl had such an amazing beard. And there are some good pictures of the table king that bothered me so much! And every time you seperate the soundtrack, I hear stuff I haven't heard before, which just makes me love the Mansions and the people that created them even more for their attention to detail. Over all great post! P.S.
