Disney World Issues Warning for Haunted Mansion
Haunted Mansion is a fan-favorite of many Disney Guests. Check out the most recent warning issued for this attraction.
Haunted Mansion Changes
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.
Disney announced that new set elements are coming to the Haunted Mansion at Magic Kingdom. Walt Disney World recently filed several permits for this attraction.
This week, the scrim was removed, and the front of the Haunted Mansion has now returned to its original look and color scheme.
