Haunted Mansion Event Has a Few Changes
I was told today that upon registration guests found out that the LE 100 Master Gracey lenticular pin is actually a LE 250. The extra 150 are being sold to event guests by having event guests do a drawing.

ALSO the Cardboard Coffin with 4 pins which was said to be a given to guests who registered at Contemporary Resort for the 999 haunts event, well a similar pin set ended up being the mystery LE 350 with 3 pins and if the event guests got a special number they would be able to purchase this pin set for $50.
