Servants
Disney Cast Members play somber house servants who staff the Mansion. They do not smile and often refer to guests as "bodies." In Ken Anderson's early concepts for the attraction, a butler named Beauregard would serve as tour guide to visitors of the house. In the final attraction, the role of tour guide went to the invisible Ghost Host. The 2003 film features three ghostly house servants: Ramsley the butler (Terence Stamp), Ezra the footman (Wallace Shawn), and Emma the maid (Dina Waters).

Famous quotes containing the word servants:
“What is the reason that women servants ... have much lower wages than men servants ... when in fact our female house servants work much harder than the male?”

And barefoot servants round him, who adjust
The curtains to a metaphysical t
And the banners of the nation flutter, burst
On the flag-poles in a red-blue dazzle, whack
At the halyards.”
