Leota declares, "The trumpets are calling me now I must depart."
"Farewell!!" Leota glides offstage leaving the audience with this final phrase, "Until we meet again!"
Ms. Harris continues her opening remarks by thanking the Cast Members for bringing the Mansion to life each and every day. She offers special recognition to the Collection Manager of Information and Research Library at Walt Disney Imagineering, Randy Webster. Disneylands merchandising department presents him with number one of Colin Campbells lithograph signed by the artist and the panelists.
An old man carrying a lantern interrupts the proceedings. "Have you seen my dog?" he asks, "he is quite bony and shakes". It is apparent that the Haunted Mansions caretaker has joined the celebration.
A coffin creaks open and a tall, slender ghost in a top hat appears. "Yes, he sniffed around here but turned tail."
"Perhaps he knows", pointing to a ghost descending from the chandelier, reminiscent of the Mansions ballroom scene. This ghost suggests that the caretakers dog may be found in the attic.
