Inside look: Madame Leota’s Somewhere Beyond store in Disneyland

Madame Leota’s Somewhere Beyond, a new retail shop next to the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland, opened today. Disneyland has provided photos of the shop.

Somewhere Beyond is a carriage house that used to store the same ornate carriage that now remains on the mansion’s front yard. It also contains a boudoir on the mezzanine level.

At one point, it was home to the mansion’s head caretaker, but later Madame Leota took up residence. It is filled with her eclectic furniture, including a crystal ball, a fainting couch, and the original parlor chandelier that Leota used in séances at the mansion.

When the first floor of the carriage house became a shop, Leota kindly lent her desks, cabinets and chests as antique artifacts to be showcased along with the merchandise. As a powerful medium moving between worlds, Madame Leota comes and goes a lot and is excited to welcome guests to her home, soon.

Madame Leota nromally floats in the dead center of the room inside the Haunted Mansion, calling out, “Serpents and spiders, tail of a rat, call in the spirits, wherever they’re at!” during her séance to make sure the happy haunts receive your sympathetic vibrations. She was a medium, psychic, palm-reader, potion brewer, clairvoyant, and an oracle.
