Haunted Mansion Holiday at Disneyland reopening next week
Haunted Mansion Holiday will reopen starting July 29 at Disneyland, Disney announced today.
The Haunted Mansion closed for refurbishment on Jan. 22, 2024 as the gardens were being expanded and a new retail shop was being built. Since the Haunted Mansion closed while having the holiday overlay in place, Disneyland kept it in place and is reopening it with the overlay in place since the Halloween season will begin on August 23.
The expanded outdoor queue builds on will build on Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion’s lore and immerse guests in some new theming.
According to Disney, “Local legend suggests the manor known today as the Haunted Mansion was first built by a prosperous sea captain. To this day, the mansion’s staff faithfully maintains the happy haunting grounds. The expanded queue will tie into these stories and more, including new gardens inspired by Master Gracey, Madame Leota and the one-eyed cat.”
Each of the gardens will feature elements ranging from a water fountain and gazebo to themed statuary and landscaping. Guests will be able to see a new greenhouse where the groundskeepers for the Haunted Mansion grow their plants. The pet cemetery and horse-drawn funeral hearse will continue to reside on the attraction’s grounds.
The new retail ship is in the mansion’s carriage house, belonging to Madame Leota.
