Memento Mori | DISNEY THIS DAY | October 6, 2014

On this day in 2014, the Memento Mori gift shop opened near the Haunted Mansion in Liberty Square at Walt Disney World. The shop is said to be Madame Leota’s 17th-century home, built near Gracey Manor. Several supernatural touches still give evidence of her presence, like a portrait of her that changes under black light, a mirror that often reflects a ghostly figure, and “bottled spirits” on the shelves. The name Memento Mori means “remember that you will die” in Latin.
