I can't believe I found the time to do a Tombstone Wednesday! I love this series too much to ignore it, so here is your Disney Haunted Mansion Trivia for the week!
Farewell Forever,
Mister Frees
Your Voice Will Carry On the Breeze
Paul Frees was a character and voice actor. For Disney, he voiced Professor Von Drake in 18 episodes of the Disney anthology TV series. More importantly? He's the voice of your Ghost Host in the Haunted Mansion at both WDW and DLR, as well as the auctioneer for Pirates of the Caribbean.
Can't you hear him saying the words "Ghost Host" in your head? I know I can!
Paul Frees passed away in 1986.
Love the trivia - next time I'm at Disney I'll be paying much closer attention to the tombstones!

Yep, I can hear those words in my head. Thanks for this bit of history.
This is one of the newer ones added in the addition of the interactive queue at WDW - I sadly have no experience *yet* with DLR!
