    When will the haunted mansion not be decorated as nightmare before Christmas?

    Hi there, Shanna, 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 classic Haunted Mansion version may be open after Jack Skellington has left the building. My kids and I have a fondness for the classic version, too.

    According to the Disneyland website, Guests can experience the thrilling Haunted Mansion Holiday through January 7, 2026. In the past, Jack Skellington needed about two weeks to vacate the premises before the classic Haunted Mansion was back open and ready to welcome Guests. However, official 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, Shanna. 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 when Haunted Mansion might be listed. Then, you'll know, when it's off the closed for refurbishment schedule, it should be back open as it's classic version. It's important to know though, Shanna, that closures (and openings!) 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, Shanna, 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
