On this date in 1969, The Haunted Mansion attraction opens in New Orleans Square at Disneyland. The grand opening of the attraction is heralded by a promotional blitz
that include the “I Scream” Sundaes sold at Disneyland’s Carnation Plaza. Madame Leota, the medium in the séance room and the tiny talking figure at the end of the ride, is modeled after Imagineer Leota Toombs (also known as Leota Thomas).
