Hiya Janel,
Welcome to planDisney! Thank you for submitting your question to us.
"Our tour begins here" at my all-time favorite attraction at the
Disneyland Resort -
Haunted Mansion! As you know, Haunted Mansion has completed “a disquieting metamorphosis” and will reopen tomorrow! This transformation now includes an immersive outdoor queue and retail shop with merchandise "from regions beyond!" So if you wish to "volunteer to join the 999 happy haunts" that reside in Haunted Mansion, you can do so again starting July 29 (date subject to change).
The Disneyland Resort announced that
Haunted Mansion Holiday returns tomorrow and Guests must join a
Virtual Queue! Guests will have two chances to enter the Virtual Queue at 7:00 AM PST and 12:00 PM PST (times subject to change). Disneyland Resort has also confirmed that a standby line will not be available at this time. Guests can log into their MyDisney account on the
Disneyland Mobile App to join a boarding group, which can be called as early as park opening! Once you have joined the queue, you will be taken to a screen that shows your boarding group number and estimated return window. Guests will get a notification on the app that their boarding group has been called, and will have one hour after their boarding group is called to join the other happy haunts, board a doom buggy, and explore the eerie mansion!
Not even Madam Leota and her crystal ball can predict which boarding group you will be granted! However, she and the rest of the 999 happy haunts can wish you good luck when entering the virtual queue. "And beware of hitchhiking ghosts! They’ll follow you home!"
If you have other questions about the Disneyland Resort, remember - you’ve got a friend in me!
