Hi Matty! Thanks for dropping by planDisney.
I understand how it can be frustrating when an iconic Attraction like the
Haunted Mansion in New Orleans Square is temporarily closed and it interrupts our plans. On our most recent visit, we missed being able to hop in a Doom Buggy to say hi to the Happy Haunts. However, the refurbishment is well underway and hopefully, we'll know soon when to expect our favorite spooky mansion to begin greeting Guests again.
I don't have an exact date or good guess to share with you. Without Madame Leota's trusty crystal ball, the best we can do is watch the Haunted Mansion page for updates and wait for an announcement from the
Disney Parks Blog, the official news source for the parks. They announced the current closure of the Haunted Mansion, so I expect we'll hear from that corner when the Attraction is ready to reopen. Fingers crossed that it's sooner rather than later!
In the meantime, they're talking Halfway to Halloween, and we got a fun
preview of merchandise headed to the parks and
shopDisney for the upcoming season. The Oogie Boogie Bash - a Disneyland Halloween Party merchandise looks eerily good, and of course, there's some Haunted Mansion-inspired gear. Check it out!
Happy haunting.
