What it is

The original 1969 Haunted Mansion, board a Doom Buggy for a tour of 999 happy haunts, from the stretching room to the graveyard jamboree. Haunted Mansion Holiday (its 25th year) runs Aug 21, 2026 to early January 2027; the classic version returns after that.

How to do it right

  • A solid Multi Pass pick on busy days, though standby moves steadily, omnimovers never stop loading
  • Disneyland's stretching room actually descends (you're entering an elevator), a detail Florida's version fakes
  • The expanded queue gardens are full of details, so do not rush them if you wait standby
  • Haunted Mansion Holiday, the Nightmare Before Christmas overlay, runs Aug 21, 2026 to early January 2027 (25th year). The classic show returns once the overlay comes down in early 2027
  • In the classic version, the Hatbox Ghost appears between the attic and the graveyard
