An easy one for this Friday the 13th: What is this? Where would you find it?

Answer:
This is the horse drawn hearse in front of Haunted Mansion Holiday, the annual Halloween-to-New Year overlay of the Haunted Mansion in Disneyland's New Orleans Square.

There is a popular urban legend that claims this is the hearse that carried Mormon leader Brigham Young's body to his grave. This is, of course, not true.

A couple more views from previous years (I meant to get a few recent pictures on Thursday, but only realized I didn't do that when I got home):

Way to stay in the mood.
Let me take a wild guess and say its inside Disneyland, turn left into Adventureland, go past the Tiki Room, and Aladdin. Past the Jungle Cruise, past Indiana Jones, and around Tarzan. Keep going straight, into New Orleans Square, past Pirates of the Caribbean, be sure not to get on the train, and go into the gated Haunted Mansion, there you have this horse drawn hearse, but that's only a guess...lol

Wow you weren't kidding - I think this is outside the Haunted Mansion. :-)

I believe this is the hearse outside the Haunted Mansion.

In what part of the resort would you find a trash can that looks like this?

Answer:
Trash cans like this can be found on Tom Sawyer Island near Fort Wilderness. I have been told that these are the most expensive trash cans to create in the resort.

Rumor says the island will soon be completely rethemed. This would include tearing down Fort Wilderness and abandoning Mark Twain's "Tom Sawyer" character. Instead, it would become Pirate Island, to take advantage of the success of the Pirates of the Caribbean series of movies and ride update. This rumor started with an article by Al Lutz on MiceAge.com, but has yet to be confirmed (or denied) by Disney. We'll find out in time whether this turns out to be true or not.

Edited later to add: Of course, this later proved to be true. The island has been renamed Pirate's Lair on Tom Sawyer Island, but the name Tom Sawyer isn't expected to last much longer by many people. The fort was, indeed, torn down shortly after Pirate's Lair opened.

Trash can by the area across from Grizzly River Run in DCA.

I love these pics. However I have no clue as to where this one is, so I'll guess Tom Sawyer Island.

Richard Blythe
Pirates Island.
Keep Tom Sawyer Island the same.

Side note, I remember my wife and I looking at the guns exactly one week before they were removed.
-- I still remember playing in Fort Wilderness as a kid, climbing into the turrets in the corners where those guns were.
