Disneyland is BUSY right now — a lot of stuff is going on in the parks and at Downtown Disney.
Disneyland
Downtown Disney is getting LOADS of new restaurants plus a newly revamped sweets shop (YES!!!). California Adventure is getting a new Avatar-themed land and a new Coco ride. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is getting ready to open SOON in Disneyland. Haunted Mansion is getting a new queue and dedicated gift shop. Well, we just got our first look at the new gift shop because the construction walls are DOWN.
As we mentioned, Haunted Mansion (which is currently running as Haunted Mansion Holiday) is getting a new queue and gift shop. Because of all the construction around the ride, it’s currently only running with a virtual queue. However, many of the construction walls around the gift shop came down today, so we’ve got a first look at it! It looks like an old carriage house, which perfectly fits in with the New Orleans aesthetic you’ll find at Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion in New Orleans Square. The shop is said to be owned by Madame Leota, of course.
New gift shop!
Most interesting may be the enigmatic sign above the doors. What does it mean? Is this some kind of way that Madame Leota will commune with spirits while we’re innocently shopping inside?
Mysterious sign
There’s also some new concept art of the gift shop and the updates to the ride on one of the remaining construction walls.

Then there’s the note from Madame Leota, who promises to return soon with haunting treasures and wonders galore with her official seal. We can’t wait! We guess this will be a lot like Memento Mori in Disney World, with a lot of Haunted Mansion theming and fun details inside.
Note from Madame Leota
We can’t wait until the shop’s doors open and we can check it out. We’ll let you know when that happens and take you along with us for the ride (no Doom Buggy required).

I wish it looked like it fit with the Haunted Mansion. It’s terribly ugly and way too big in comparison and is dwarfing the beautiful mansion.
I can’t picture where this is.
