Welcome to planDisney Krystil!
You definitely need to have fast fingers to secure a virtual queue for some of our favorite attractions and entertainment! At the current time,
Haunted Mansion Holiday in
Disneyland Park is only available via a virtual queue, there is no stand-by queue available while they continue work on the surrounding area.
The good news is that the
virtual queue for Haunted Mansion Holiday doesn't vanish in mere seconds like some have in the past! There are 2 opportunities each day at 7:00 AM (Guests must have a park reservation for Disneyland Park) as well as at 12:00 PM (Guests inside Disney California Adventure Park with a Park Hopper ticket or Guests already inside Disneyland Park). I did not have any issue securing a a virtual queue for this attraction during my last visit, and most days you are able to still join the virtual queue later in the day!
I definitely recommend ensuring that your MyDisney account is linked to your party's
theme park tickets so you can easily select your party and be ready to join the virtual queue right at 7:00 AM or right at 12:00 PM! I like to keep an eye on my watch for the exact moment right before 7:00 AM when I can quickly tap the button to join the virtual queue. I'd also make sure you have a strong signal for your mobile phone service at that time as well!
I'm sending you all of the pixie dust that you're able to secure your virtual queue, Krystil! Please
come back to planDisney if we can help with any other questions.
Have a magical day!
Melissa
