Hello again, Bradford!
Thank you for reaching out to planDisney. I am happy to answer another one of your questions! Your trip to
Disneyland Resort is only a few days away. How exciting!
The Tour Guides for
Disney's Happiest Haunts Guided Tour like to keep Guests in suspense for this ghoulishly delightful experience and cannot guarantee which attraction the group will enjoy on their tour. In the past, Guests have sailed through the dark waters of Pirates of the Caribbean, but anything is possible when you have Ghost Hosts! You can try stopping by the Tour Gardens in Disneyland Park on the day of your tour to see if they can provide you with more specific information.
The photo op with the Hitchhiking Ghosts from the Haunted Mansion takes place in a doorless chamber and strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls (well, not really, but it is fun to say!). The location of the photo op may vary, although it is typically in a spot away from other Guests because this special experience is generally reserved for Guests participating in the tour.
I also saw that you wrote another question about the reserved viewing area for
Halloween Screams. When I participated in similar experiences at Disneyland Resort in the past, the Cast Members on the tour provided me with a ticket to access the reserved viewing area. The ticket showed where I needed to go and what time I needed to arrive. The return time is often 30-45 minutes before the performance in my experience. Since tour information can change at any time, I suggest stopping by the Tour Gardens on the day of your tour to get detailed information about your specific tour.
I am sorry I could not provide exact details about your tour. I do hope you have a spooktacular visit to Disneyland Resort. Say hello to the 999 happy haunts while you are there!
Seasons Screamings!
Jen
