Disney Dining Serving up the latest Disney Eats, Treats, News, and More!
The iconic Haunted Mansion, nestled within the Disneyland Resort, is currently undergoing a ghastly transformation as its stately grounds are being revitalized. This renovation promises to breathe new life into the eerie narrative that envelops this beloved attraction.
Reportedly unveiling itself later this year, the Haunted Mansion’s expansion is set to captivate visitors with an array of thrilling enhancements. One of the key features of this renovation is the planned expansion of the outdoor queue, where guests will find themselves engulfed in an even more immersive and haunting atmosphere, further blurring the lines between reality and the supernatural realm the mansion embodies.
As the months continue to pass into 2024, fans grow less and less confident that the improvements will be made in the time frame fans had hoped. Now, recent images lead fans to believe that reopening may not be happening anytime soon.

In addition to the queue enhancements, the renovation project includes the introduction of a new retail shop strategically positioned near the attraction’s exit. This addition will offer guests an opportunity to prolong their eerie experience by browsing through a selection of themed merchandise inspired by the ghostly inhabitants of the mansion. From eerie souvenirs to ghostly keepsakes, visitors will have the chance to take home a piece of the Haunted Mansion’s mystique.
Moreover, the revamped grounds are designed to delve deeper into the rich lore of the Haunted Mansion, weaving together elements of mystery and history to create a more cohesive and engaging narrative. As guests weave their way through the expanded queue and explore the new retail offerings, they will be immersed in a world where every detail contributes to the overarching story of the mansion and its spectral residents.

With this multidimensional approach to the renovation, Disneyland Resort aims to not only enhance the physical aspects of the Haunted Mansion but also to enrich the overall guest experience by offering a more profound and captivating journey into the realm of the supernatural. While all of this is great to hear, most fans are concerned about the timeline that this massive overhaul will take.
When Will Haunted Mansion Reopen?
When this renovation was first revealed, many fans believed that the project should take about for months. Many comments on the original announcement agree with these claims. Now, nearly six months after the construction’s start, it is very clear that the project is far from completion.

One fan took to Reddit to share a recent photo of the attraction construction so far. From the observer’s eye, it does not look like much progress has been made in the attraction area. For fans who were eager to see development in this land area, it is dismaying to see that progress has not happened as quickly as we hoped.
For now, fans will have to exude great patience. It will likely be months before Haunted Mansion reopens, and fans will be lucky to experience it by Halloween season.
