Haunted Mansion shop coming to Disney World this fall

Disney Parks Blog

This Halloween promises to be extra spooky at Disney World — and possibly extra-expensive, if you’re in a shopping frame of mind. Disney is opening a Haunted Mansion-themed shop that will be filled with an extensive new line of Haunted Mansion merchandise.

The former Yankee Trader shop in Liberty Square closed this week. When it reopens this fall, it will be a showcase for all things Haunted Mansion, Disney announced this week. Disney didn’t say when the shop would re-open, but the park’s Halloween celebration starts Sept. 1, and Disney has never been known to miss a great marketing opportunity.

This is a big year for the Haunted Mansion: The ride is celebrating its 45th anniversary at Disneyland Aug. 16. (It opened two years later at the Magic Kingdom in Florida.) It’s also getting an animated special on Disney XD later this year.

The shop will sell “select items” from the new line of merchandise, which includes more than 100 things, from t-shirts and fashion accessories to household items like dishes, bookends and bat-shaped ice cube trays. Some of the items have been around before, like a purple Dooney & Bourke bag that was available for a limited time.

We’re also hoping to find some of the new pieces of art, sculptures and figurines that are debuting Aug. 16 at Disneyland in honor of the anniversary.

Here’s a look at some of the pieces from the upcoming line:
