Disneyland Shares New Concept Art of Madame Leota’s Somewhere Beyond
Hey Disneyland Vacationers! Disneyland has just unveiled new concept art of Madame Leota’s Somewhere Beyond, a spellbinding new retail experience set to open this winter. If you’re a fan of Haunted Mansion or “Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas,” you’ll want to keep reading because this shop promises to be a ghoulishly delightful addition.
A Look Into Madame Leota’s Carriage House Transformation
So, what exactly is Madame Leota’s Somewhere Beyond? Imagine stepping into a carriage house with a history as rich as the Haunted Mansion itself. Once used to store the ornate carriage now famously displayed in the mansion’s front yard, the space has a story to tell. In its early days, it served as the home of the mansion’s head caretaker. Later, Madame Leota took up residence, bringing her own eerie flair to the place.
Here’s the twist: Madame Leota is a gracious host (for a ghost) and decided to open her private residence to Disneyland guests. The first floor of the carriage house has been reimagined as a shop, but not just any shop—it’s packed with eclectic touches and spooky antiques straight out of Leota’s collection.
What’s Inside?
Step inside, and you’ll find:
- Madame Leota’s Personal Artifacts: The space is decorated with Leota’s personal belongings, from her crystal ball to the fainting couch she once lounged on. Even the original parlor chandelier, which she used during séances, adds an authentic touch.
- Antique Furnishings: Her desks, cabinets, and chests have been repurposed to showcase merchandise. Think of it as shopping in a ghostly museum.
- The Mezzanine Boudoir: A peek upstairs reveals an area filled with more mysterious decor, hinting at Leota’s storied life between worlds.
What Can You Buy?
The shop will offer a range of eerie and enchanting treasures, including:
- Haunted Mansion-Themed Gifts: From collectibles to home decor, it’s a ghost-lover’s dream.
- “The Nightmare Before Christmas” Merch: Apparel, accessories, and holiday-inspired items are sure to delight fans of the spooky classic.
- Seasonal Surprises: Disneyland promises the shop will continually “materialize” new treasures, ensuring you’ll always want to “hurry back.”
Madame Leota’s Welcome Message
Disneyland shared a hauntingly charming detail about Madame Leota herself:
“As a powerful medium moving between worlds, Madame Leota comes and goes a lot and is excited to welcome guests to her home, soon.”
While Leota’s physical presence may be fleeting, her magical aura will linger throughout the space.
Why This Matters
Disneyland’s ability to combine storytelling with immersive retail experiences is unmatched, and Madame Leota’s Somewhere Beyond is no exception. This shop isn’t just about buying items; it’s about stepping into a slice of Haunted Mansion lore. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a curious visitor, this is your chance to connect with one of Disneyland’s most iconic attractions in a whole new way.
So, if want to experience a shopping trip unlike any other—keep your calendar marked for this winter. With the new concept art of Madame Leota’s Somewhere Beyond, Disneyland is reminding us all that the magic never dies.
