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 1971, 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.
