The classic version of the Haunted Mansion is once again open at Disneyland. Since the Halloween Time celebration began in August 2025, the attraction has featured its holiday overlay, Haunted Mansion Holiday. On Friday, January 23, 2026, the original version of the attraction returned. The return of the attraction appeared to see it getting some tender loving care. Throughout the attractions, the ghosts looked a little bit more vibrant and crisp than they sometimes do.
The Daps Magic team stopped by the Haunted Mansion on its reopening day. The following video was filmed, showcasing how the attraction looked on its first day of operation in 2026.
Haunted Mansion Official Description
Take your seat in a gloomy Doom Buggy for an eerie tour through this house of happy haunts.
Frightful Delights Await
Dearly depart into a foreboding estate, drag your body to the dead center of the Portrait Chamber and watch as the walls begin to stretch before your eyes. Climb into your waiting Doom Buggy and embark on a shivering journey into an unearthly realm.
The disembodied voice of the Ghost Host is your private guide through the cadaverous dwelling—home to grinning ghosts and other spectral surprises.
Glide past a rattling casket in the conservatory. Head off to Madame Leota’s spirited séance room. Float by the Grand Ballroom and its waltzing apparitions. Take a spin through a cemetery where the spirited residents regale you with song.
Beware of lurking hitchhikers—these phantom pranksters may try to follow you home!
Each year, the Haunted Mansion can be experienced in two different ways. For the first half of the year, it is the classic version of the attraction. From Halloween Time through the Holiday season, the attraction is transformed by Jack Skellington into Haunted Mansion Holiday.
