It’s back! After a brief 13-day closure for maintenance, Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion Holiday has officially reopened today, August 22, 2025, marking the return of one of the park’s most beloved seasonal transformations. Following its closure on August 9, 2025, for routine updates, fans can once again experience the spooky and festive magic of the iconic attraction.
Refurbishment Brings New Features to Haunted Mansion Holiday
The refurbishment, which ran from August 9 to August 21, 2025, gave the Haunted Mansion Holiday a fresh new look. Disney took the opportunity to enhance the attraction with updated seasonal decorations, new animatronics, and improved projections. The seasonal overlay, inspired by The Nightmare Before Christmas, offers an exciting blend of Halloween and Christmas in true Jack Skellington style.
With its return, Haunted Mansion Holiday signals the official start of Disneyland’s Halloween season, and guests are in for a treat. The fan-favorite attraction continues to immerse guests in a world where Halloween and Christmas collide, bringing the whimsy of Halloween Town to the Haunted Mansion with eerie decor and festive vibes. This transformation has become a must-see event for park visitors each year.
However, some fans have a different opinion on the layover and wish that Disney would keep the original version of the ride for the Halloween season. After all, the Haunted Mansion is the park’s most spooky ride, and it is all on its own. However, it seems that Disney will continue to add this layover, as it has continued to return despite some criticism.
The Magic of Haunted Mansion Holiday
Haunted Mansion Holiday’s annual return is a special highlight of Disneyland’s Halloween festivities, and this year promises to be no different. As always, the attraction is expected to draw large crowds eager to enjoy its unique combination of thrills and holiday cheer. For guests planning to visit Disneyland this season, the attraction is sure to be a key highlight of their Halloween experience.
