The Ghoulish Gentleman was featured in a webisode of this series, enjoying tea with Billy the Goat from Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. The primary gag of this webisode being how the goat struggles to place tea in his drink due to his swaying hand. This is the series where the Ghoulish Gentleman got their semi-official name.
