Attention, ghostly gals, ghouls, and Halloween lovers: we have some important NEWS! Here at DFB, we love tricks and treats, and we especially love all the FUN Halloween events that happen in Disney World and Disneyland. There’s the iconic Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in Magic Kingdom, plus you’ve got the SUPER popular Oogie Boogie Bash at Disneyland. But there’s one more beloved Halloween addition fans look forward to all year long. Any guesses? What’s this? What’s this?

Disneyland
Did our clues give it away? Each year, Disney transforms a classic attraction just for the spooky fall and winter season. The ride overlay takes WEEKS to come together and is filled with special details, and we’ve been waiting for new details about the 2024 transformation! Well, the time has come, people!
Disneyland Resort is home to a beloved attraction known as the Haunted Mansion. And each fall, the Haunted Mansion hosts Jack Skellington and Oogie Boogie from The Nightmare Before Christmas. Picture the classic ride you know and love…but with a spooky yet festive twist!

Oogie Boogie
This is a super popular ride overlay, and we’ve seen it attract some super high wait times in the past. Well, we’ve been waiting to hear when this ride will be open, and we finally have an opening date! Disney announced that the Haunted Mansion Holiday will return on July 29th. That’s just a few days away!

Now, we have a few important things to note here, so pay attention. When this ride reopens, it will be slightly different. The Haunted Mansion Holiday will be available to ride EXCLUSIVELY via a virtual queue when it first opens. That’s because Imagineers are working on a reimagined queue experience, so a big section of the standby line is behind walls.

It’s happening!
To join the virtual queue, make sure you have the Disneyland app open, logged in, and ready to go. Disney noted that the virtual queue will only be used while the queue is under construction, but we still don’t have an exact date for the construction to end. We’ll share more information when we learn more about the updated queue experience.

This ride is SO fun!
We expect the virtual queue process to work the same way it does for other attractions in Disney World and Disneyland. We recommend jumping on the app as soon as possible — the faster you can join the virtual queue, the more likely you are to get on the ride early in the day.
