“Muppets Haunted Mansion” takes place on Halloween night, when Gonzo is challenged to spend one very daring night in the most grim grinning place on Earth … the Haunted Mansion. This marks the Muppets’ first-ever Halloween special and features three new original songs, “Rest In Peace,” “Life Hereafter” and “Tie The Knot Tango,” a star-studded Muppets cast, celebrity guest stars and special appearances, and frightful fun for the entire family.
Did you know you do not need to wait until October 8 to celebrate? Both Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort are hosting celebrations of their own before the special is released.

Considering Halloween is in full swing at the Disney Parks, these new additions will be a great way for daytime Guests to indulge in the haunts! Because Boo Bash and Oogie Boogie Bash are both extra ticketed events, this will be an excellent way for Guests to get something extra at the theme parks before the events begin.
