Bidding on Disneyland Haunted Mansion Tombstone Surpasses $30,000

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- In less than two days, and with five more days to go, the bidding on a piece of Disneyland history, a personalized "tombstone" in the Haunted Mansion attraction, has surpassed $30,000. The online charity auction, benefiting selected chapters of The Boys and Girls Clubs of America, is featured on eBay, The World's Online Marketplace.

Bidding opened at 6:00 p.m. (EDT) on Thursday, October 14 and was up to $6,000 in the first hour. The auction closes on Thursday, October 21 at 6:00 p.m. (EDT) and the winning bidder will be publicly announced on Friday, October 22. The winner and a guest will be spirited away to Disneyland park in time for a midnight "wake" and "burial" ceremony on Thursday, October 28, officially placing the tombstone in the graveyard of the "Haunted Mansion."

The unique gravestone will bear the winner's first name and a humorous epitaph (inspired by the lucky bidder's interests and hobbies) written and personalized by the team at Walt Disney Imagineering.
