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:
“Let our hearts, as subtle masters do,
Stir up their servants to an act of rage
And after seem to chide ‘em. This shall make
Our purpose necessary, and not envious;
Which so appearing to the common eyes,
We shall be called purgers, not murderers.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“When receiving an order, many servants repeat their “yes” numerous times, especially the lazy ones.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“The best servants of the people, like the best valets, must whisper unpleasant truths in the master’s ear. It is the court fool, not the foolish courtier, whom the king can least afford to lose.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
