The Haunted Mansion Holiday Overlay Is Back at Disneyland
The Haunted Mansion Holiday overlay has returned! The residents of Halloween Town have once again taken over the classic Haunted Mansion, transforming it for both the Halloween and Christmas seasons at Disneyland.
The entrance to the mansion is now adorned with a Haunted Mansion Holiday sign shaped like a ribbon. On one column, you’ll find Jack Skellington, dressed as Sandy Claws, perched on a jack-o’-lantern. The other column is topped with a grand chandelier.
As you move through the queue, notice the lampposts wrapped in garlands and topped with pinstriped bows, a nod to Jack’s iconic suit. The surrounding foliage has a dead and decaying look, adding to the eerie atmosphere. More garlands decorate the hearse, and jack-o’-lanterns sit on a nearby bench. Even the car gets a festive touch with a jack-o’-lantern wearing a Santa hat.
A Sandy Claws scarecrow, surrounded by more jack-o’-lanterns, stands in a flowerbed. Looking up at the mansion, you’ll see the balconies decorated with festive garlands and spiderweb candelabras. Across the top gable, jack-o’-lanterns are arranged, and a long piece of paper dangles, displaying Jack’s famous Christmas equation.
Above the entrance, a large clock is nestled in a wreath, its hands spinning in opposite directions, while a countdown reads “000 Days to Xmas.” Even the gargoyles on the queue wall and the statues in the pet cemetery are dressed up with pinstriped bows. Throughout the graveyard, more jack-o’-lanterns add to the holiday-spooky scene.
While the Haunted Mansion Holiday overlay generally remains the same each year, there’s always a new gingerbread creation in the ballroom. This year’s design is inspired by the ride’s exterior, with some design elements taken from Halloween Town’s City Hall. The gingerbread house is green, features candy cane-striped columns, and is topped with large cookie ravens that have glowing red eyes.
