After 56 Years, Haunted Mansion Set To Close at Disneyland

Disneyland Park in Anaheim, California, is preparing for its annual seasonal transformation of the Haunted Mansion attraction. Guests have until August 8, 2025, to experience the classic version of the ride before it closes for its seasonal overlay. The attraction will close on August 9 and is scheduled to reopen as Haunted Mansion Holiday on August 22, 2025. This festive overlay, inspired by Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, will remain in place through January 7, 2026.

Closing Date Announced

The seasonal transformation of the Haunted Mansion into Haunted Mansion Holiday has become a beloved tradition at Disneyland. The overlay features characters such as Jack Skellington and Zero, bringing a spooky yet festive atmosphere to the attraction. Guests can expect to see the mansion adorned with Halloween and Christmas decorations, creating a unique experience that blends the eerie charm of the Haunted Mansion with the whimsical elements of the holiday season.

The Haunted Mansion Holiday overlay is a major draw for Disneyland guests, making the short closure period a bittersweet moment for fans. The ride’s annual transformation is known for its elaborate, festive décor and unique atmosphere, often becoming a key part of many guests’ holiday traditions. As the park prepares to swap out the spooky mansion for a holiday-themed spectacle, it’s certain that many will miss the original, yet eagerly await the festive return.

What to Expect?

During the closure, Disneyland will also be conducting routine maintenance and refurbishments to ensure the attraction continues to provide a high-quality experience for guests. While the Haunted Mansion is closed, visitors can enjoy other attractions and special events throughout the park. However, fans of the Haunted Mansion are encouraged to plan their visits accordingly to experience the classic version before it transitions into its holiday form.
