Walls Up around the Haunted Mansion as Construction Begins

Walls Up around the Haunted Mansion as Construction Begins

Walls have been put up around the Haunted Mansion and the areas surrounding the attraction as construction on the grounds begins! Disney announced in August 2023 that the grounds around the Haunted Mansion would be expanded and that work is now under way.

Concept art is hanging on the walls outside of the attraction. Enhancements are coming to the plaza adjacent to Tiana’s Palace. This area is one that holds a lot of memories and history, and a new, elegant park-like setting will be a place to relax and enjoy the ambiance and live entertainment under the shade of new and historic trees.

Closer to Haunted Mansion the walls show a gallery of original Haunted Mansion concept art by various Imagineers. There are eight pieces, each crafted by a different Imagineer. Seven of them date back to the period spanning from 1952 to 1969, during the attraction’s original development phase. Additionally, there is one piece from the 1994 update.

While in the area, guests might hear work being done on the grounds. When we visited the area recently, we could hear the work as well as see part of a construction vehicle behind the walls.

When the area reopens, each of the gardens will feature unique elements ranging from a water fountain and gazebo to themed statuary and landscaping. In fact, guests will be able to see a new greenhouse where the groundskeepers for the Haunted Mansion grow their plants. The pet cemetery and horse-drawn funeral hearse will continue to reside on the attraction’s grounds.

A new retail shop is also coming to the Haunted Mansion grounds. This carriage house of the mansion, belonging to Madame Leota, will be a standalone shop.

We’re hoping to see the attraction reopen this fall in time for the Halloween season with its Haunted Mansion Holiday overlay.
