Ghostly Dog Bench Returns to Magic Kingdom After Nearly Five Years
Some spirits never truly leave—and one fan-favorite phantom pup is officially back at Magic Kingdom! The Ghostly Dog Bench, a cleverly creepy piece of theming that once resided near the Haunted Mansion, has made its long-awaited return just outside Memento Mori, the macabre gift shop near the Mansion’s entrance.
This isn’t a new addition, but rather a beloved blast from the ghoulish past. The bench was originally removed during the 2020 park closure and hasn’t been seen in the park since—until now.

A Bench Worth Howling Over
The returning bench sits to the right of the stairs leading to Memento Mori’s porch, blending right into the eerie aesthetic of Liberty Square. Crafted from light brown wooden planks, the bench features green metal armrests and legs—but look closely and you’ll notice the true (ghost) story behind this seating.
Each armrest is shaped like the head of a dog, with swirling leaf patterns along the side and feet resembling fallen leaves. The painted red eyes give these ghostly good boys a haunting presence, contrasting sharply with the mossy green metal and drawing the eye in a very Haunted Mansion kind of way.

A Spooky Touch Reawakened
Freshly repainted and full of ghoulish charm, the bench fits right in with the spirit of Memento Mori and the overall lore of the Haunted Mansion. So whether you’re looking to rest your weary feet or just snap a photo with this spooky pup, this charmingly eerie bench is a perfect example of the small touches that make the Haunted Mansion experience feel delightfully haunted—even outside the ride itself.
