Disney took the opportunity to implement new seasonal decorations and improve the ride’s existing features, ensuring that fans would be greeted with fresh visuals when the attraction reopened.
The refurbishment also saw the addition of new animatronics and updated projections, further elevating the spooky magic that defines Haunted Mansion Holiday. Guests who enter the mansion now get to experience all the charm and excitement that have made the overlay a yearly tradition.
