Cary Sharp, 37, of Baton Rouge, La., cast the winning bid of $37,400 to become an "honorary resident" of Disneyland park's "Haunted Mansion."

Disneyland announced that "over 60,000 people visited the auction's online site by the time the final bid was tallied at 6 p.m. (EST) Thursday. All the proceeds raised from this auction on eBay, The World's Online Marketplace, will go to benefit selected chapters of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America."

As an honorary resident of the "Haunted Mansion," Sharp will receive his own personalized "tombstone" in the attraction, marking the public's first-ever chance to be an enduring part of a Disneyland attraction. He will also receive a one-of-a-kind miniature replica of the tombstone and a certificate officially recognizing the addition to the attraction. The unique gravestone will bear Sharp's first name and a humorous epitaph, inspired by his interests or hobbies, written and personalized by the creative team at Walt Disney Imagineering.

Additionally, Sharp and his fiancee, Debbie Dubler, 36, of Metairie, La., will be spirited to Disneyland in time for a midnight "wake" and "burial" ceremony on Thursday, October 28, officially placing the tombstone in the graveyard of the "Haunted Mansion."
