If there’s one thing we look forward to around the Disney parks every year, it’s spooky season!
There’s just something extra magical about all the pumpkins, wreaths, ghouls, ghosts, eats, special entertainment, and more. We’ve already had a sneak peek at what’s coming to Disneyland Resort for this year’s Halloween season, but it looks like Disney has started decorating for the occasion, too!
Haunted Mansion may still be closed to create a new queue experience, but it looks like Disney is taking the time during the closure to prepare the ride for something we look forward to every year! Haunted Mansion Holiday is coming BACK to Disneyland Park this year, and though we don’t exactly know when yet, we do know that Disney has already started decorating the mansion!

We spotted the wreaths and pumpkins (barely!) from over the construction walls, but this just means we’re that much closer to spooky season at Disneyland — and to the reopening of the Haunted Mansion!
When this ride does open for the season, it will be a little different. Disney shared that the Haunted Mansion Holiday will be available to ride EXCLUSIVELY via a virtual queue when it first opens. Imagineers are working on a reimagined queue experience right now, so a big portion of the standby line is behind walls. We still don’t have an exact reopening date, and the ride has been closed since January!
You’ll need to use the Disneyland app to join the virtual queue. But, it seems like Disney has hinted that the virtual queue will only be used while the queue is under construction. Of course, we’ll be sure to share more details as we learn more about the updated queue experience.
The Halloween season will take place from August 23rd through October 31st at Disneyland Resort. In the meantime, we’ll be on the lookout for the latest news from Disneyland, Disney World, and more — so don’t forget to stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog!
