Disney's The Haunted Mansion | The Werecat Lady Changing Portrait

Originally known as the Panther Lady. When the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland opened, the first portrait in line in the Portrait Hallway was that of a young woman dressed in white holding a rose laying on a couch. When lightning would flash, the painting would rapidly change in sync with the lightning. The woman's upper half would change into a black panther. When the effect changed into the slow morph, the black panther transformation was kept the same. In 2005, the Portrait Corridor's effect was changed from a slow morph to a ghostly image being cast on to the painting by the outside lightning. Due to the way the effect is achieved, the original image now had to be darker and the scary image had to be lighter. The clothing on the woman was changed to black and instead of a black panther. She changes into a snarling white tiger when the thunderbolt flashes.

The Realms of the Magic Kingdom!

As many of you know, next year will mark the 70th anniversary of The Disney Parks.

And so in honor of that, I've decided that for one of my upcoming fanfics, I would receive a concept that's been about five years in the works!

Ever since 2019, I've always had the idea of a fanfic series with the premise of adventures taking place in the worlds within The Disney Parks.

But unfortunately, I didn't really have the skill to pull off something this ambitious.

But now, five years later, I think I'm ready.

The original Liberty Square trash can design is a delightful rarity in early Magic Kingdom photographs. This practical design features a cream-colored can adorned with tan vertical stripes on the sides, top, front door, and rear wall. This design graced the park until at least the early 1980s, though its exact retirement date remains a bit of a mystery. In this photo from December 1971, just two months after Walt Disney World opened, massive crowds move through the land. Thankfully, they aren't stepping on the plants under the trees and are giving plenty of space to the trash can on the right side. // Walt Disney World, Magic Kingdom, Liberty Square, 1971 [Source: Gorillas Don't Blog.

Disney's The Haunted Mansion | The Medusa Changing Portrait

A young priestess turns into a stony gorgon. When the Mansion opened in 1969, Medusa was the third painting down the Portrait Corridor. In 2005, when a different effect was put in, Medusa was moved down the hallway to become the fifth portrait, taking up the space once occupied by Miss April-December. When the Haunted Mansion opened at Walt Disney World in 1971, the "after" stage (the stony gorgon) was used as one of the Sinister 11. Medusa's eyes glowed and followed Doombuggies as they moved down the hallway. During the 2007 renovation, the lightning flash changing portrait of Medusa was hung up in the Portrait Hall, the Sinister Eleven version going into the Disney Archives and being brought out for exhibitions. At Tokyo Disneyland, the after stage of Medusa is still used as one of the Sinister 11 as was the case in Walt Disney World before 2007.
