Disneyland Confirms It Will Restrict Haunted Mansion Holiday Offering To Annual Passholders

Less than a week after former Disney CEO Bob Chapek revealed that he considered eliminating the Disneyland Magic Key program because Annual Passholders overused the theme parks and didn’t spend enough money, the Southern California Disney park has reaffirmed its appreciation for its most frequent visitors with an exclusive free gift inspired by the Haunted Mansion Holiday overlay.

Haunted Mansion Holiday Freebie Exclusively for Magic Key Holders

Ahead of each Halloween and Christmas season since 2001, Disneyland Resort has transformed the original Haunted Mansion with a festive overlay inspired by Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993). The overlay took one year off when Disneyland Resort closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, but returned in 2021. In 2026, the Haunted Mansion Holiday officially opened on August 21.

A few months into the season, Magic Key Passholders can celebrate the Haunted Mansion Holiday with a gift from Disneyland Resort: a set of four lenticular trading cards celebrating 25 years of the Nightmare Before Christmas overlay.

Each card depicts one of the four transforming portraits from the Stretching Room in the Haunted Mansion Holiday, including Jack Skellington, the exterior of the Haunted Mansion, Zero pulling Santa Jack’s sleigh, and Sally.

How to Get Yours

Magic Key Passholders can pick up their first trading card on Monday, October 26, alongside a frame to display their collection. A new design will be available each Monday: November 2, November 9, and November 16. Pick-up is available at these locations during their regular operating hours:

• Disneyana at Disneyland Park
• Kingswell Shop at Disney California Adventure Park
• WonderGround Gallery in the Downtown Disney District

Guests must show a valid Magic Key Pass to collect their free trading card. Each Passholder is limited to one display frame and one of each card design.

The official Disneyland Magic Key Instagram account shared the news in a video on Wednesday:

👻 Celebrate 25 years of the Haunted Mansion Holiday with collectible cards 👻

A new card materializes each Monday, starting 10/26 and available for pick up through 11/21, so hurry back weekly to collect them all! When you pick up your first trading card, you’ll also receive a special frame to showcase your collection. Check out the link in bio for more information.
