Greetings, Jana!
Welcome to
planDisney. As you may have heard, Pumpkin King Jack Skellington has spruced up the Haunted Mansion with spooktacular seasonal decor inspired by
Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas!
The new standby queue experience for
Haunted Mansion Holiday is still being refurbished, but, as you mentioned, the attraction is open via a
virtual queue. Each Guest may only join the queue and experience the attraction once a day, but you have two opportunities to attempt to join successfully.
The first opportunity to request to join the virtual queue in the
Disneyland mobile app is at 7:00 a.m. for Guests who have a
theme park reservation for Disneyland Park. At 12:00 p.m. Guests who are inside Disney California Adventure Park with a Park Hopper ticket or in Disneyland Park can request to join. Once your boarding group number is called, head over to Haunted Mansion Holiday to enjoy Jack’s decked halls.
I hope this information is helpful, Jana, and that your visit to the Happiest Place on Earth is a dream come true! Please feel free to
come back and ask any other
Disneyland Resort questions you may have.
Wishing you magic,
Courtney
