A new queue has debuted at the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland Park, along with a themed outdoor space

The area, which will give guests a roomier experience as they wait to enter the famous attraction, has been under construction since January 2024

The virtual queue put in place during the construction period has concluded; guests may now access the attraction through ''the standby lane, Lightning Lane Multi Pass, and Lightning Lane Premier Pass''

A ghost's life or afterlife, if you prefer must be quite long, which means that spirits are forever on the lookout for interesting things to fill their eternal hours.

And surely, the ghosts of Disneyland's world-famous Haunted Mansion, those celebrated 999 Happy Haunts, had plenty to observe as they gazed out of the windows of their merry manse over the last several months.

The popular attraction's tombstone-studded grounds just enjoyed a major refurbishment, a vast, footprint-expanding refresh that hauntingly hewed to the spooky theming of the classic ride while providing more room for guests.

Mossy hues, sprightly statuary, plants that feel autumnal year-round, and crypt-inspired architecture give the grounds a gleefully ghoulish oomph.

The massive ''undertaking'' has concluded, or mostly; Madame Leota's Somewhere Beyond, the new Haunted Mansion shop, should materialize this winter. That is, of course, if the spirits see fit.

The name of the shop was also revealed Nov. 26, as well as a colorful rendering.

Design details will include a crystal ball and a ''feinting'' couch, as well as other supernaturally stylish odes to the magnificent medium.

Disneyland Resort made the ethereal announcement Nov. 26, just ahead of a sure-to-be-bustling Thanksgiving Weekend.
