HM "Ring" Gone

[PirateLover]

My cousin is at WDW right now and just called me because he was trying to locate the "ring" in the cement outside of the Haunted Mansion. As I was trying to talk him through it, he asked a CM. The CM told him that, unfortunately, it was cemented over only a few days ago.

Thats a shame. DD and I always enjoyed pointing it out after the ride.

[Bringonthemouse!]

I'm very disappointed ...my DD and I had plans to check it out on our next visit.

Hmmm that's odd we just saw it last Sunday

We could not find this in November. Where is it?

I was just going to say the same thing. It was a little difficult to find but it was there.

Yes, apparently, according to this individual it was a very very recent occurance... like he JUST missed it. I would hope that the CM is wrong, but I did a little research and people seem to be discussing it on other boards as well. The only way we will know for sure is for someone who knows where it is/was to go find it and confirm or deny this report.

I have heard several times it's not really a ring, but a coincidence. One of those urban legends and I would imagine Disney just let it propogate. It may have finally been time to fix the walkway.

I'm not sure though, it did look pretty "authentic"...

It was actually the part of post that was cut or broke off at some point. And it happens to be in the shape of a ring complete with and area that looks like a diamond setting. What seems to strange to me is this has been there so long and I can't imagine them fixing a walkway that looked to be in good sahpe during the Holiday time when HM is dues for a rehab soon.

I plan on looking for it on Monday when I am there. Hopefully I will be able to report back that it is still there.

I finally saw this for the first time this past summer. It seemed kind of small to be an adult woman's ring.

[dumbo ears]

i never knew about it. what was is? like a ring sticking out of the ground or what?

From Hidden Treasures & Surprises

Gracey’s Grounds
The exit walkway of the Haunted Mansion ends with two large brick columns; imbedded here in the cement is what appears to be a wedding ring. According to Haunted Mansion lore, Master Gracey’s distraught bride-to-be threw her wedding ring out one of the Mansion’s upper story windows and it landed embedding itself in the ground outside. Also as you exit, you will find an often overlooked Pet Cemetery to your left. In this plot many of the Gracey families' pets have found their final resting place. Finding these occult artifacts is sure to be a treat for ghostly loving guests.

I was there last monday, tuesday and wednesday. I looked for it also. It was gone. How can that be?

[brad192]

Well, after all, it IS the Haunted Mansion....

[murphy1]

Main Street Jim could look. I won't be there until after New Year's, but I have it on my list to look for.

[DVCWDWMEMBER]

We were just at WDW over Thanksgiving and the ring was there. My DD is going again the first week of February and will have to take a look to see if it is really gone.

[A Big Kid]

It is not a ring so much as a figmentation of someone's imagination.

[Here we go again...]

We saw the ring for the first time in November. I was told that it was a part of a post when I commented on how small it was.

I was disappointed when we saw what they did to the umbrella from Singin' in the rain .
What a shame that some of the Hidden Treasures are going away.
