Donny Osmond returned to the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland
Donny Osmond returned to the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif. on Saturday. Osmond, together with actor Kurt Russell and the Osmond Brothers were photographed at the same location more than 37 years earlier in 1970 to promote the opening of the now classic Disneyland attraction and were featured on the television special Disneyland Showtime which originally aired on March 22, 1970 as part of "The Wonderful World of Disney" on NBC. The Osmond Brothers began their show business career at Disneyland more than 45 years ago.

Donny Osmond: In His Own Words
"The Haunted Mansion is my favorite Disney attraction. This photo was taken for Disneyland Showtime, a TV show I was in with my brothers when I was nine. It starred Kurt Russell and aired when the attraction first opened. We were actually introducing the Haunted Mansion to the world. During the production, I had a room inside, on one of the top levels, that was my little schoolroom. We had all-access. So during recess, I was able to walk backstage and see how everything worked. I don't know anyone else who's gone to school at the Haunted Mansion. That was pretty cool!"
