The Haunted Mansion is a dark ride attraction located in New Orleans Square at Disneyland park in Anaheim, California. The attraction opened in 1969 and has since become a beloved classic for park guests. The ride takes place in a Gothic mansion that is said to be haunted by 999 happy haunts.

As guests enter the mansion, they are greeted by the Ghost Host, who invites them to join the “spirited tour” of the mansion. Guests board a “Doom Buggy,” which takes them on a journey through the various rooms and hallways of the mansion.

The ride features a variety of spooky scenes and special effects, such as the famous stretching room, where guests are surrounded by eerie portraits that seem to grow taller. The Doom Buggy then takes guests through a series of rooms, including the seance room, ballroom, attic, and graveyard.

The attraction features an unforgettable musical score by composer Buddy Baker and lyricist X Atencio, which includes the popular song “Grim Grinning Ghosts.” The Haunted Mansion is also known for its impressive audio-animatronics, which bring the ghosts to life and add to the spooky atmosphere of the ride.
