Haunted Mansion was an opening day attraction at Magic Kingdom's Liberty Square and has received a few fun changes over the years. One of the most recent and notable changes brought the return of the Hatbox Ghost. This clever illusion is truly spell-binding.

The Hatbox Ghost appears to guests as they pass the Endless Hallway, welcoming himself inside from the swinging wake in the cemetery and grinning at the Doom Buggies as they set off deeper into the mansion.

Now it appears that new set elements are coming to the Haunted Mansion at Magic Kingdom.

Haunted Mansion Permit

A new permit was just filed by Disney Imagineering to "install set elements." This does not sound like a refurbishment, but rather an addition.

As work speeds up at Piston Peak, which is replacing Tom Sawyer Island, even more construction walls are added at the Haunted Mansion.

This has affected the outdoor queue for the Haunted Mansion quite a bit. We are happy to see a new permit that will add a bit of extra magic rather than more construction walls.

New Additions to the Haunted Mansion

Over at Disneyland, they received two new scenes from a recent refurbishment. The biggest update is with the attic scene; a new bride has arrived!

A new permit is filed to "install set elements" in the Haunted Mansion.

The imagery at the end of the ride has also been updated; this is the part when "a ghost will follow you home." You can see full details on these new scenes HERE. With news of a permit filing, we hope these new scenes may come to Magic Kingdom's Haunted Mansion.

Do you think new scenes may come to Magic Kingdom's Haunted Mansion? What work do you hope they update? Share your thoughts with us and share this news with your Disney pals.
