After a six-month-long refurbishment, Disneyland’s beloved Haunted Mansion is back, and it’s looking eerily festive! Inspired by Tim Burton’s iconic film, “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” the attraction reopened on Monday, donning its holiday finery just in time for Halloween Time at Disneyland Resort.

Guests strolling through New Orleans Square will notice several enchanting updates, including a planned expansion of the outdoor queue area with immersive theming and a brand-new retail shop conveniently located next to the ride’s exit. But that’s not all – the queue enhancements are still underway, and for now, eager visitors can join the ghostly fun via a virtual queue. For anyone unsure how to join, head over to [Disneyland’s official site](https://disneyland.disney.go.com/en-ca/guest-services/virtual-queue/) for all the spooky details.

Mark your calendars, Disney fans! The magic of Halloween Time kicks off on August 23rd and will cast its spell until October 31st. Whether you’re a long-time fan of Jack Skellington and his crew or a first-time visitor, the Haunted Mansion’s spooktacular transformation promises a memorable experience.
