The Haunted Mansion is my very favorite ride - and I LOVE the improvements. They really are improvements, instead of a stupid make-over (yes, I'm still bitter about "Journey into Imagination" . . .don't get me started!) No windows in the Doom Buggies, though - the whole point of the "pod" is to restrict what you can see, so the effects will work.
The Escher staircase is sooooo cool - and the awful spiders have found a home in the Jungle Cruise, so it's all good. I like the new bride - my daughter doesn't - and I'm so glad they got rid of the jumping heads in the attic. I also really like the pictures in the waiting area. We've waited to hear the gargoyles - could barely hear them, so that was a bit of a disappointment.

I was glad they redid "El Rio del Tiempo" in the Mexico Pavillion, which we called "El Rio de Lameo". We love the Three Caballeros! And they still have the cliff-diving footage from "If You Had Wings", which I always love to see. Ah, memories.
