Hi Jonathan! Thanks for visiting planDisney.
I'm so excited about the return of the beloved Haunted Mansion in New Orleans Square at Disneyland Park, and it sounds like you are too. While Haunted Mansion typically has a Lightning Lane Entrance, the physical queue for the spooky Attraction is still undergoing refurbishment. For that reason, you can currently access the Attraction via a
virtual queue. Please be aware you have two chances to enter the virtual queue: 7:00 AM and noon Pacific Time. The availability of boarding groups is limited and not all boarding groups may be called. It's always a popular Attraction! But hopefully, Madame Leota sees something promising in your future.
Also, I hope you're aware that Haunted Mansion is currently decked out for the holidays. The
Haunted Mansion Holiday overlay is my favorite, so I think you're in for a ghostly good time! And while it's not your usual Ghost Host, Jack is a frightfully fabulous host. It's absolutely amazing how they transform the Attraction into something entirely different! If you've never experienced it, you're in for a treat, no tricks.
A quick recommendation for entering the virtual queue: pick one Guest in your group to be familiar with the
Disneyland mobile app ahead of time and have all the tickets linked, so they can check for an available boarding group for everyone in your party who wants to ride. Also, be sure they have notifications enabled for the app, so you'll receive updates including the details for callback.
I hope this helps! Boo to you.
Elizabeth
