37. ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter with Special Guest Andy Mack
Q: Remind us how you got your start working at Walt Disney World, and what your role as a cast member was.
Andy explains growing up with Disney, entering the Disney College Program in Rhode Island, and his assignments in Tomorrowland, especially Space Mountain and Alien Encounter, detailing the various cast roles and safety responsibilities.
30. A Conversation with Justin from Foolish Mortals & Happy Haunts
Q: What's the coolest fan-created merch you've seen or wish to own?
Fan-made pieces like 3D-printed art, custom mug and bathroom recreations, and especially the Hatbox Ghost cloche by Kevin and Jodie stand out for their craftsmanship and how they extend the ride's world into fans' homes.
30. A Conversation with Justin from Foolish Mortals & Happy Haunts
Q: What is your favorite version of the Haunted Mansion, Disney World or Disneyland, and why?
I love both for different reasons—Disneyland's exterior and portrait gallery feel iconic, while Disney World has more internal scenes like the library and endless staircase, making each version special in its own right.
30. A Conversation with Justin from Foolish Mortals & Happy Haunts
Q: Tell us about your journey as a Disney and Haunted Mansion fan and what led you to running Foolish Mortals & Happy Haunts.
I've always loved Disney and spooky stuff, and a documentary on Disney World sparked my obsession with the Haunted Mansion; I gradually built a community through a Facebook group and then Instagram, driven by passion and a desire to share everything from lore to merch.
26. Halloween 2025 Disneyland Resort Trip Recap
Q: What was your favorite part of the Oogie Boogie Bash?
The dessert party and the interaction at our table, where performers visited us and the overall seating arrangement allowed a close, intimate experience with the parade, making the night feel uniquely personalized.
