Haunted Mansion Facts: Ghostly Organ

Did you know that the organ in the ballroom of the Haunted Mansion is originally from the 1954 Walt Disney film "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea"?





Yes, it's the same one that Captain Nemo played "Toccata and Fugue in D-Minor" on in the film. The pipes are different and it's not the same bench, but the front keyboard part is there.

Pretty cool, eh?

The organ must've gotten a make-over for the haunted mansion...it looks similar, but not the same!!!!!

Well, it's definitely the same organ. You can tell by the buttons and the way it's shaped. It's extremely old, plus it's probably been made to look like it's been inside a haunted house (Sorry! I mean a Mansion)for years.
