Settle a debate about HM
In the stretching room, I always just assumed the walls were "stretching up", but then got to wondering if the room itself were actually dropping down. So which is it? Does the room stay stationary and the walls move up, or does the entire room drop down?

From what I have read, the room in Disneyland is an elevator that goes down, while the Disney World version is indeed a ceiling that rises.

Disneyland had to plan a way to get people under the railroad tracks. Therefore, they went down and through a tunnel. In WDW, it is not necessary. The ceiling goes up while the people stay still.

You can tell it's the ceiling that goes up, because there is no crack or 'space' in the floor when the doors open (like when you're stepping into an elevator). It is one seamless piece of carpet leading right into the doom-buggy loading room.

Is that true in each stretching room? We always try to guess which doors will open.

In the original in Disneyland, it's an actual elevator. This was necessary for the function of the attraction, since in the DL version the actual show building is outside the berm and guests have to travel under the railroad tracks to board the Doom Buggies.
In WDW the show building is directly attached to the facade, so there was no need to drop guests down to another level. In order to preserve the stretching room effect, they installed sort of a reverse elevator in which the ceiling rises to simulate the stretching walls. You don't actual move anywhere in the Disney World version.

We would always stand near the exit to be the first out... but after a while realized it's less stressful and less pushing to just hang out until most people have shoved their way through... and it really only adds about 3 minutes to your wait...

I'm the same way with most of the rides like that. Especially with ToT where you get to see a few of the Twilight Zone references if you hang back.

As already said HM at WDW the ceiling goes up.
HM at Disneyland California and Phantom Manor at Disneyland Paris are elevators and you go down.

What do the gargoyles whisper and do they all whisper or just those near the doors under the ballerina?

And consider this dismaying observation: this chamber has no windows, and no doors...
Sometimes, when you are a Bear of Very Little Brain, and you Think of Things,you find sometimes that a Thing which seemed very Thingish inside you is quite different when it gets out into the open and has other people looking at it.

Look for the little red light. It is a trip sensor that does not allow the doors to open if somebody breaks the beam. That is the doorway. But don't rush, enjoy the atmosphere and the paintings in the loading foyer.
