The Disney Dork

Follow me and join me next time as I dive into the tale of Melanie Ravenswood, the Curse of the Phantom Bride! Hurry back…….💀👰‍♀️

After the death of her last husband, George, she spent the rest of her days at her family mansion. After her death, her ghost now resides in the attic surrounded by the remains of all her weddings, waiting for her next victim….. I mean Husband. 👰‍♀️🪓

She traveled the world looking for new victims… I mean Husbands. Shortly after all of her weddings, her and her new husband would move to her family mansion in the Hudson Valley. Shortly after that her Husband would be found headless after falling out of an attic window.

Constance is the Cousin of Master Gracey. Like her Cousin Emily, she has also been married a few times. Unlike Emily, she marries not for love of her husband but for her love of their money. Much like her Cousin, all of her husband’s also vanished but the reasons are not as mysterious.

Welcome to Part 2 of “Tales of the Haunted Mansion Brides!” Today’s tale is about Constance Hatchaway, the Black Widow Bride (found at Walt Disney World)

Emily Pt 3: Thinking she was cursed, she stopped marrying and spent the rest of her days in her Brother’s Mansion. After she died, her spirit longs for companionship and her beating heart calls out to new suitors. The Hatbox Ghost still waits to take care of anyone who tries to get his Bride.

The Hatbox Ghost as he is found in the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland. He is wearing a glowing blue trench coat. He is holding an empty hat box. His head is on his shoulders at the moment. He holds himself up with a stick.

Emily Pt 2: Hiding in the Shadows is a spirit known as “The Hatbox Ghost.” He has fallen in love with Emily and wishes to be her suitor but to no avail. Every time Emily marries, the Hatbox Ghost lures her new husband to the attic where he beheads them and throws them out the window.

Our first Tale, Emily Gracey, The Beating Heart Bride (Disneyland): Emily is the sister of Master Gracey, who wants nothing more than to be someone’s loving wife. She has been married multiple times but every time, they mysteriously disappear. What could be causing this?
