Welcome to planDisney, foolish mortal! Oops! I mean....Welcome to planDisney, Sheila! I'm so glad you found us to ask this great question about visiting the Haunted Mansion at the Disneyland Resort!
Having visited Walt Disney World many times over the years, I can understand why you would want to experience the
Haunted Mansion at
Disneyland Park and see the Hatbox Ghost! You are correct that
Haunted Mansion Holiday will close its doors at the end of the Holidays on January 7th, 2024. Unfortunately, we don't have an exact date for when the ghosts at Haunted Mansion will materialize after the holiday season ends, but it is usually around mid-January. It takes a little while for our Ghost Hosts to clean up all of the halls that Jack Skellington wrecked, but it's possible they will have the hinges creaking and the candlelights flickering as soon as possible. I recommend checking the
Daily Events Schedule once the start of your visit is six weeks out. You can find a list of attractions, if any, that will be closed for refurbishment.
I'm hopeful that your Doom Buggy will be waiting for you after the
runDisney Half Marathon Weekend! As you know, there are 999 happy haunts that are dying to meet you....but there’s always room for one more! If by chance you don't get to join the hitchhiking ghosts during the race weekend, there will be a great reason to hurry back! The Haunted Mansion is taking over more of
New Orleans Square in 2024 and there will be a new retail shop too. Be sure to
check out this article from Disney Parks Blog!
If you have more planning questions before you arrive at The Happiest Place on Earth, please send us a message from somewhere beyond! We're dying to help you at

Happy Planning!
Smiles,
Lisa
