The home of 999 Happy Haunts will once again welcome visitors after months of renovations.
Officials for the “Happiest Place on Earth” announced Thursday that Haunted Mansion will reopen next week with its “Nightmare Before Christmas” overlay.
Haunted Mansion Holiday will return on July 29, several weeks ahead of the typical time when the Eerie Estate transition from summer frights to fall festivities. Its early return will give guests the chance to return to the spooky labyrinth alongside Jack Skellington, Sally, Zero and other iconic characters from the Tim Burton-produced holiday classic.
“The attraction will don décor inspired by [the film],” a Disneyland spokesperson said. “At the center of the frightful fête’s ballroom scene is the gingerbread house, with an all-new design for this year.”
Haunted Mansion has been closed for refurbishment since January and crews are working to create a new retail shop next to the attraction exit and an expanded outdoor queue with “enhanced theming.”
The area that surrounds the attraction is prone to getting crowded and congested as it spills into a busy walkway connecting some of the most popular areas of the park.
While work continues on the reimagined outdoor space, Disneyland will only provide a virtual queue for those brave enough to enter.
Guests will need to use the Disneyland app to request to join the queue. Requests open to guests twice per day at 7 a.m. and noon.
New Orleans Square has experienced a transformation to coincide with the re-theming of Splash Mountain to the “Princess and the Frog”-inspired Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, which is set to open later this year and will likely be one of the busiest attractions at the park.
