The worst part about it was that we could see the exit to the ride, but park employees wouldn't let us get off!

Many years ago I took Mrs. Swordmaker and our two daughters to Disneyland on Thanksgiving. It was open on Thanksgiving until midnight. Our family decided we would take the LAST tour of the Haunted Mansion Ride at midnight... we timed it so that they closed the doors right after we entered. When we rode the roomsized elevator down to the entry hall, my older daughter, then about 12, laid down on the floor... followed by my younger daughter... and then my wife and I did likewise so we could watch the events transpiring on the stretching walls and ceiling easier. Before the ride ended everyone on the elevator was stretched out comfortably on the floor and the Disney employees were laughing!

Years later, Mrs. Swordmaker and I were in Disneyland and decided to take the same midnight closing Haunted Mansion Tour... and discovered our daughter's impromptu act of many years before had become a "tradition," allowed only on the last tour at midnight. I have heard from others about this tradition since then so it must be continuing.
