food IS a theme park
Have you ever spotted a celebrity in Disney World?
Haunted Mansion at Disneyland
Now, we’re not talking about Mickey and Minnie (and well, they ARE HUGE celebrities, right?). We know a lot of celebrities who LOVE Disney and many visit the parks often. Neil Patrick Harris has come to EPCOT so much that he has his own table at a bar there. We even spotted Michael Jordan once. However, celebs go to Disneyland ALL the time, but today, THREE turned up ALL AT ONCE.
From Pirates of the Caribbean to Jungle Cruise, Disney has a habit of turning classic attractions into feature-length films — and we’re certainly not complaining.
Haunted Mansion Disneyland
The Haunted Mansion movie starring Eddie Murphy that came out in 2003 wasn’t a huge box office success, and it looks like Disney is trying to redeem itself with a NEW Haunted Mansion film set to come out in 2023. We’ve had a few updates on the plot and details about the cast, but now we know who will be playing yet another iconic character from the attraction!
There is SO MUCH news happening right now — spooky news, to be exact!

It’s Halfway to Halloween and Disney is announcing a TON of things for the holiday! Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Oogie Boogie Bash are coming back, the Sanderson Sisters are coming to Disney Cruise Line, and we even have a look at the new Halloween merchandise coming this year. And now, we have MORE spooky news!
Disney has been making a lot of live-action adaptations throughout the recent years, and they’re not slowing down any time soon!

We’ve seen The Lion King, Mulan, The Jungle Book, and more get live-action remakes, and there are a lot more in the works right now. There are also live-action films adapted from Disney rides, like the incredibly successful Pirates of the Caribbean film franchise and the more recent Jungle Cruise movie (which is getting a sequel, BTW!). One movie coming up has the unique distinction of being adapted from a ride AND being a remake — do you know what it is??
Disney attractions becoming movies is not necessarily a new thing, but with the wild success of the Pirates of the Caribbean movie franchise, and now Jungle Cruise (which is getting a sequel), we’re certain to see more!
There’s always room for one more…
One upcoming Disney movie based on an attraction we’re excited about is the Haunted Mansion movie. Yes, there was a previous Haunted Mansion movie with Eddie Murphy, but Disney is making another one, and well, you know what they say — there’s always room for one more (see what we did there?).
