Welcome to planDisney, Matthew!
"'Twas a long time ago, longer now than it seems" that the wonderful Imagineers at Disney created the
Haunted Mansion Holiday, "making one unique Holiday especially for you!" Originally debuting in 2001, the overlay proved extremely popular and has been delighting guests nearly every year since.
Personally, I am a fan of both versions and am happy to experience either one. We know that the
Halloween Season will be returning to the Disneyland Resort but they have not yet released the schedule for the Season yet. Last year, the
Haunted Mansion closed on August 15, 2022 for its changeover to the Haunted Mansion Holiday and re-opened on September 2, 2022. I'll try to put in a good word for you with Sandy Claws that you get to experience the attraction before it closes! Keep up with the
Disney Parks Blog and the Disneyland
Daily Events Schedule to stay in the know about attraction closures.
Fun Fact: The Haunted Mansion is the only attraction located in four different Lands across four different Disney Theme Parks. Also, did you know that the hitchhiking ghosts are named Ezra, Gus, and Phineas?
If you just can't get enough Haunted Mansion, I would recommend watching
Muppets Haunted Mansion on Disney+. It's got that classic Muppets charm and Haunted Mansion lovers will laugh out loud at some of the references! Also, get hyped for the
Haunted Mansion movie being released on July 28! The trailers look fantastic!
Matthew, I hope that answer was helpful for you and that you have a fantastic visit to the Disneyland Resort this summer! If there is anything else that we can do for you, please don't hesitate to ask!
“So hurry back, we would like your company.”
