Haunted Mansion Holiday is an annual transformation of the beloved attraction into a “Nightmare Before Christmas” wonderland. With Jack Skellington at the helm, the mansion is decked out in festive frights. This year’s overlay began unusually early, reopening on July 29.

While waiting in line for Haunted Mansion Holiday, guests will encounter familiar elements such as the iconic pumpkin scarecrow. The spooky horseless hearse has also made a reappearance but has been moved closer to the attraction’s entrance for easier viewing.


The Haunted Mansion Holiday queue has undergone a significant transformation this year. The expanded pathway is a welcome improvement, designed to reduce congestion. The exterior boasts festive Christmas countdown decorations, but curiously, the ticker already displays “000.”

Overall, the interior decor is the same as it always is when the holiday overlay is present. Jack Skellington is dressed as Sandy Claws and tells guests he hopes they’ve been good this year. The snowy Spiral Hill is covered in Jack-o-lanterns with various facial expressions.

The thrilling climax of the Haunted Mansion Holiday experience is a confrontation with Oogie Boogie. He spins his “Oogie’s Holiday Tricks and Treats” wheel, which is adorned with a collection of hitchhiking toys.

Haunted Mansion Holiday is only using Virtual Queue right now. There are two times guests can try to enter the queue: 7 am and 12 pm. The attraction’s holiday overlay will remain through the Christmas season.
