From the outside of the attraction all the way through the ride, Haunted Mansion has been transformed into Tim Burton’s ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas.’

A Sandy Claws scarecrow and multiple spooky jack-o-lanterns decorate the grounds outside the entrance of the mansion. The mansion itself is decked out in black and white bows, garland with skulls, and a large wreath with a countdown to “XMAS”.


The theming continues into the mansion. Guests get their first encounter with Jack Skellington in the stretching room. He is dressed as Sandy Claws. The portraits in the stretching room have also received an updated look.

Guests will see multiple characters from the film in the loading area of the ride.

Continuing through the ride, you’ll see every room has been transformed. Zero can be seen at The Endless Hallway with a pile of bones. Nightmare Before Christmas-themed tarot cards decorate Madame Leota’s séance room.

A new gingerbread house is on the table in the ballroom. This year’s display is modeled as a mausoleum for “Von Ginger,” who is ready to share his fruitcake with the ghostly partygoers.

The mansion’s attic is now filled with presents from Sandy Claws. Guests will see Sandy Claws once again in the graveyard; this time with a sack of gifts.

Towards the end of the ride, guests can see Oogie Boogie who is ready for riders to spin his wheel of holiday tricks and treats. And a smaller version of Sally says goodbye to guests as they exit the ride.
