Haunted Mansion Closed as Disney Begins Hatbox Ghost Installation

Calling all brave souls and thrill-seekers! The Haunted Mansion at Magic Kingdom is currently undergoing a brief refurbishment to ensure a spooktacular experience for all visitors. Fear not, as the chilling adventures will resume on August 10, 2023, just in time for the eagerly anticipated Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.

Exciting news has emerged amidst the refurbishment – Disney has announced the arrival of the Hatbox Ghost in the Endless Hallway, near the beginning of The Haunted Mansion.

However, there’s a twist! Unlike his Disneyland counterpart, this infamous ghost will be found in a different location, sparking some controversy among fans.

Curiosity abounds as work has commenced in the Endless Hallway. Black curtains have been draped around a mysterious corner at the hallway’s end, and the iconic “Donald Duck chair” has been removed, leaving guests eager to uncover the secrets that lie beyond.

During this short refurbishment period, progress on the Hatbox Ghost’s installation will continue. However, it’s worth noting that he’s not expected to make his haunting debut by August 10. Fear not, though, for his arrival will add a new layer of mystique and excitement to the chilling mansion.

In addition to the ghostly enhancements, the refurbishment is an opportune time for general maintenance to ensure that the Haunted Mansion continues to offer spine-chilling fun in the years to come.

As the refurbishment progresses, we encourage all guests to stay tuned for spine-tingling updates and prepare for an even more enchanting experience upon the Haunted Mansion’s grand reopening. Until then, let your imaginations run wild, and remember, there’s always room for one more at the Haunted Mansion!
