I visited Disney World in the early 1990s as a kid and in 2006 (I think, I remember at the time that Pirates of the Caribbean ride was being refurbished). I remember the black face bride clearly in the 1990s. My brother and I rode the Haunted Mansion ride every time we walked past it. I didn't know the attic bride was a bride. The black face bride appeared to me to be wearing a hood, although it could have been an illusion with the way the dress and veil were arranged. I don't remember the blue face bride since I was there before the ride was refurbished. It could be that time around we only went on the ride once. What if the Disney World ride made an addition after you get off the ride, and in a darkened room put a Beating Heart Bride with the Hat Box Ghost along with some heads coming out of hatboxes. Does that sound like a good idea to anyone? It probably won't happen though.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13844771305601566121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4444762441887107389.post-592134136784469712020-08-21T05:21:44.331-07:002020-08-21T05:21:44.331-07:00I with you on the subject of the bride.

BHB was a mystery, I always felt she was a forlorn character, who died on her wedding day. Like all the other ghosts in the mansion, it was up to the rider to decide who they were and what their back story was.<br />Clearly these modern imagineers don't belive that 'less is more'.

Thank you so much for all the updates. Rereading this post reminded me of how terrified me and my siblings were of the bride when we were kids. We would literally argue about who had to get into the buggy first because no one wanted to be on the bride side of the vehicle. She was absolutely terrifying to me, the type of thing I'd see in my nightmares. I was scared in that room that if I took my eyes off her and looked again she would be right next to the cart ready to grab me. Constance is neat technology, but ruined the creepy vibe of that whole scene. Anyway, thank you for all the work you're putting into these updates!Brandon Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08763671148763486079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4444762441887107389.post-77537924017066058532019-09-25T19:43:35.609-07:002019-09-25T19:43:35.609-07:00I saw Constance but I saw images of the old bride ...I saw Constance but I saw images of the old bride and I already miss her Disney bring her backAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11714499290879727765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4444762441887107389.post-47226235032214209062018-11-01T22:41:43.495-07:002018-11-01T22:41:43.495-07:00Thanks for these.

And i don't think her heart is creepy, but a heart that has an undying love that kept on beating forever for her man.truthfully i like her heart better than that of Davy Jones. In fact i will rather have her instead of the Black Widow Bride Constance Hatchaway. <br /><br />But! She is one of my favorite Disney characters along with Jack Sparrow, Goliath (from Gargoyles),uncle ford (gravity falls), Hiro Hamada, Tron, Jim & Capt Silver & capt Amelia (Treasure Planet) and Maui.

'Tis a pity that they softened her down more and more over the decades until any surviving shreds of creepiness were destroyed for good by Constance. Constance, by the way and in my humble opinion, is unbelievably cheesy and along with the piano music doesn't fit the pacing of the attic room at all.

I beg your pardon ??? When you think about it afterwards, the twisted marital vows <i>can</i> make you chuckle, but when you're riding, in my opinion, Constance is much too creepy to ever make anyone laugh, with her hissing, unnatural voice and that awfully disturbing sound she makes when the hatchet appears. And I'm not the only one in this case, if Internet is to be believed. If anything, I think Constance is too scary compared to most other Haunted Mansion ghosts… certainly not too funny.Achille Talonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11636339293230261724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4444762441887107389.post-81423459800716042472015-11-01T19:22:37.470-08:002015-11-01T19:22:37.470-08:00I'd sat probably 5ft but she just looks talle...I'd sat probably 5ft but she just looks taller because you are sitting while looking at her.

Like, on the one hand, the pre-Connie ones scared me as a child, but in terms of atmosphere, their anonymity and subtlety are more befitting the story the attic wants to tell than Connie, who just hits you in the face with her story. I think that Connie would have been better if they would have made hers be a full story of resolution with the husbands getting some sort of revenge, instead of just this limbo with no resolution at all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4444762441887107389.post-58455519274912436492015-10-03T15:06:20.069-07:002015-10-03T15:06:20.069-07:00So many fan names for the pre-Connie bride, but I&...So many fan names for the pre-Connie bride, but I've not heard of Prudence.
