The page which the “Necronomicon: Book of the Dead” is open to in the séance room. This is the page that contains Leota’s incantations (you’ll have to trust us on that one as it’s far too dark to read!).

15
Inclination, in degrees, of the descent your Doom Buggies makes as you “fall” into the graveyard from the Bride’s Attic. (Though it sure feels a lot steeper than that!)

5
Number of pearl strands that Constance the Bride wears in the attic scene. A careful examination of her wedding portraits shows that she obtained a new strand with each husband. (Hmmm…)

999
OK, you were waiting for this one. 999 is of course the number of happy haunts that reside in the mansion. A foreboding number indeed, but there are actually “only” a bit over 100 Audio-Animatronics in the attraction. And how many of them are “human”? Just one. (That would be the caretaker in the graveyard.) 

2007
Year that the “Dorian Gray” portrait in the foyer was changed to digital animation. Previous to that, the effect was created through the use dual-slide rear projectors.

160
Number of Doom Buggies touring the Mansion, each of them moving at a leisurely 1.4 miles per hour. (Though some can’t get out of that Mansion fast enough!)

5
Distance, in feet, of the mirrored wall that stands behind the single candelabra in the never-ending corridor scene. The candelabra itself is illuminated by a small spotlight, and a thin black theatrical scrim (see-through fabric) in front of the candelabra further masks the illusion.

176
Number of individually themed carved pumpkins put on display on Main Street, U.S.A. The traditional Mickey jack-o-lanterns were joined by special Cinderella coach pumpkins this year!

23,100
Amount of cable (in feet) installed for the lighting and sound effects used during the party (that’s over four miles!).

175

Number of Cast Members that bring Mickey’s Boo-to-You Halloween Parade to life (that includes float drivers, costumers, decorators, maintenance workers, and of course, the performers).

23
Length, in miles, that the parade will traverse throughout the Halloween season (that’s a bit less than 24 trips around World Showcase!).

245
Amount of candy in tons, (yes, tons!), that will be handed out to party Guests throughout the season’s Halloween parties.

40
Different kinds of candy that will be handed out at the parties throughout the 13 tasty treat locations, including Skittles, M&Ms, Kit Kats, and other special surprises.
