Phineas' Tombstone - Magic Kingdom's Haunted Mansion Interactive Graveyard Queue Mystery Collection

This enchanting Disney pin features Phineas, one of the iconic Hitchhiking Ghosts from the beloved Haunted Mansion attraction at Walt Disney World. The pin depicts a smiling Phineas, distinguished by his top hat and teal jacket, peeking out from behind his weathered, brownish-grey tombstone, which bears his name, 'PHINEAS,' inscribed on it. This Open Edition pin was released in 2012 as part of the 'Magic Kingdom's Haunted Mansion Interactive Graveyard Queue Mystery Collection' at Walt Disney World. The series, consisting of a total of eleven pins, was created to celebrate the addition of the innovative interactive queue at the Haunted Mansion in 2011. Phineas, known as 'The Traveler,' is one of the three mischievous Hitchhiking Ghosts (alongside Ezra and Gus) who famously attempt to hitch a ride with guests at the end of the attraction. His backstory, initially developed through unofficial Cast Member 'Ghost Gallery' biographies and later expanded in comics, identifies him as Professor Phineas Queeg, a discredited chemist and snake-oil peddler. Each pin in this mystery collection boasts a unique marbleized fill and features a special symbol on its back, designed to correspond with moving books on Prudence Pock's crypt in the interactive queue, inviting collectors to decode a hidden message. The interactive queue itself was a significant enhancement, transforming the waiting experience with engaging elements like talking busts, musical crypts, and interactive tombs.
