Description

Guests are invited to visit a large haunted house brought over from New Orleans, Louisiana. As they explore the cobweb-covered interiors of the humongous residence, guided by the voice of their ethereal Ghost Host, they discover that it's not just any haunted house, but a "retirement home" for homeless spirits, home to nearly a thousand spooks and goblins! Room after room and portrait after casket, they come across a variety of ghosts who become progressively more visible and end up breaking into a big merry party in the graveyard at the back of the house!

Behind the scenes

Opened in 1969, The Haunted Mansion is one of Disney's most popular original attractions (alongside the slightly earlier Pirates of the Caribbean), and has undergone numerous changes and temporary overlays.
