    Hi!! My family and I are thinking about possibly taking a trip to Disneyland early August, and I was wondering if there were any updates as to when the haunted mansion would close to prepare for the Halloween overlay?

    Hi there, Gracie, and a very warm welcome to planDisney! What an exciting and very special visit you have in the works to the Happiest Place on Earth soon! It's been such a special place for me and my family where we've made lasting memories together, immersed in the magic and wonder!

    Thank you for stopping by with your great question. I can understand why you'd be curious to know when the Haunted Mansion may be closed. Before any visit to Disneyland, I always want to know which attractions might be unavailable to experience while I'm there. This helps alleviate any disappointments, especially for my young kids but, let's be honest, me too. 

    We do know that Halloween Time is scheduled to officially begin at the Disneyland Resort on August 22 and, with that, the opening of Haunted Mansion Holiday, according to the Disneyland website. In the past, Jack Skellington needed about two weeks to prepare the Haunted Mansion for spooky season. However, dates are released for attraction closures on the Daily Events Schedule six weeks out, so it's a little too early, at this time, to know for your visit. I encourage you to check back to the Daily Events Schedule on the Disneyland website as your dates get closer and scroll down to "Closed for Refurbishment" to see any attractions that may be closed during your visit. It's important to know, Gracie, that closures can change at any time.

    The Daily Events Schedule not only provides updated closure information, but much more including park hours, entertainment offerings, and any events that may be occurring during your visit. Make sure you've selected your specific dates and park at the top. For announcements and more details, be sure to follow along Disney Parks Blog and Disneyland's Instagram account - you won't miss a thing! 

    Well, Gracie, I hope this information has been helpful! I understand that there are a lot of details that go into planning a magical vacation, so please don't hesitate to reach out again to ask another question. My family has made many lifelong memories together at the Happiest Place on Earth and I would be thrilled to be a part of making your dream come to life.

    Warmest wishes,
    McCayla
