Hidden Donald[]

The chair holding the supposed, "Hidden Donald"

Next to the Endless Hallway, there is a chair with a face sitting against a wall. It might also be in the library, depending on what mansion one is at.

This chair originates from a piece of concept art by Rolly Crump for the Museum of the Weird, as well as a chair from the "Burning Miser" changing portrait. Some have noticed that the face on the chair resembles Donald. The top of the head is his hat and the smile is his bill. The resemblance is there, but how intentional it was is unknown. It's likely to be a coincidence.

In the Phantom Manor version, he jumps out and scares the villains, along with the Phantom and the Bride. At the end of the song, they all run away when he jumped out from the attraction's entrance. He shrugs and waves, before disappearing out of existence.
