At Disney World Haunted Mansion, Is there a way to avoid the stretching portrait room and still ride?

Pretty sure that the room doesn't move at all, but the ceiling goes up. Any rate, the room is not terribly handicapped accessibleand can definately be skipped. Just removes a bit of the magic! Ask a cast member either at the front of the line or at the exit to bypass the stretch room. They will usually be very accomodating...it's Disney after all!

Yes there is another way in. We took it when we were on a tour. Sometimes there is a cast member at the beginning of the line. If not excuse yourself to the front of the line and ask the cast member there if there is a way to wait your turn, but to skip the intro to the ride with your son. You can also ask at guest services at the front enterance to the park. It is on the left as you enter.

Isn't part of the ride? I know the on in WDW doesn't move but the one in DL does. I really don't think there is a way.

Two years ago I was recovering from a broken ankle, cast was off, but couldn't walk well. They took me in via the handicap entrance.

haha.. so cute/ well I wouldnt know..because I havn't been there.. anywho..but you both can hug each other tightt and close your eyes through out that whole room routin thingy lol..

afraid of a portrait?

umm then dont ride o just close your eyes its unaviodable

i dont think there is away there could possibly be one just comfort him and have him shut is eyes and plugg his ear or something it is normally short soo it should take long
